Shout-out to @CarterNeitzel24 who double-doubled with 17 points and 11 rebounds last night as well as @Wubsunde32 who also double-doubled with 19 points and 13 boards in the CRUs loss last night to Nicollet in the section quarterfinals.

Very tough loss for the CRU tonight. Nothing hurts worse than the end of a season. Very proud of these young men and their heart, passion, love for each other and GRIT. The moment hurts but the future is bright. Unfinished business.

Shout out to @CarterNeitzel24 who double-doubled with 15 points and 11 rebounds in the CRU's 77-57 win over BOLD in the first round of sections playoffs last night!

You wouldn't believe they're freshmen with the poise and GRIT they showed tonight in the CRU's 77-57 sections playoff win over BOLD. Vincent Evans (right) and @Dylan_sunde23 (left) were instrumental in their defense, finishing and all around toughness. Yessir CRU! 💪🏀

"Practicing hard is a choice. Watching extra film is a choice. Lifting weights, being coachable, and going to class are a choice. Your choices here are going to force me to either play you, or sit you on the bench. You’ll get exactly what you want." (Pat Summitt)

A cold blooded freshman who plays with the poise of a seasoned vet. That's Vincent Evans & that's why he won tonight's GRIT chain in the CRU'S 79-70 OT win over Cleveland. Vincent handled the PG position in tense moments facing significant pressure. Cool. Calm. Collected! 🧊🏀💪

Junior @lindesmith_ben went on a 13-0 run all by himself to lead the CRU to a 54-52 victory over Sleepy Eye in an important sections battle. Ben didn't step off the floor all night and played with a lot of GRIT, coming off a week of sickness. Yessir Ben! Go CRU!

Shaka Smart gave the simplest definition of culture I've ever heard. Just 3 actions that explain everything about how great teams operate. It sounds easy, but most teams never master it. Here's what he said and why it's so powerful: (📌Save for later)

Correction: @lindesmith_ben is a Junior! My mistake!

Senior and Captain Ben Lindesmith was our GRIT chain winner in the CRU's 80-57 W over Math & Science Academy. After 8 games in an 11 day stretch, Ben, who rarely steps off the floor, went off for a 30 point performance, displaying true physical and mental grit. Yessir Ben! 💪🏀🔥

Mason Lunow was all over the boards and all over the floor in the CRU's 67-50 road win over ACGC last night. Lunow, a typical post, was also placed into brand new defensive positions & executed his role perfectly. Mason's mental and physical GRIT were top notch! Go CRU!

Freshman Vincent Evans stepped up to run the PG in a 59-43 road victory against BOLD, putting together a 19 point performance to help the CRU defeat BOLD for the first time in 9 years. The lights were not too bright for Evans who displayed great mental GRIT. Go CRU!

The CRU clinched a spot in the conference championship game with a rematch 66-61 victory over visiting United Christian Academy. Sr. Brayden Klohs started the game for the CRU and made the most of his time grabbing rebounds and playing gritty, stifling D. Yessir Brayden!

Shout out to Freshman Vincent Evans who was out GRIT winner on Monday in the CRU's close victory over the visiting New Ulm Cathedral Greyhounds! Vincent played big minutes & helped steady the ship by snatching boards, playing great D and hitting big shots in the clutch. Go CRU!

Mason Lunow recorded another double-double last night against West Lutheran in the CRU's 52-48 W, totaling 11 points to go along with 10 boards! Keep it going Mason! 🏀🔥
