Congratulations to @MaddoxRitzel on being selected to the IBCA 1st team for the 2nd year in a row (unanimously this year)

Congratulations Tyse. Go be great!!!

The top 2 scorers in Hornet Hoops History!

The season won’t be defined by 1 play or 1 game, but by how you came together, sacrificed for eachother, and celebrated each other and became GREAT. If I could take the pain from you I would. I can’t imagine being more proud of a team. Thank you. I’ll always have your back
