It’s always dangerous when a principal is left alone and unsupervised. I miss the kids.

This is #SCTop10 for sure! Junior Asa Jacobsen breaks a TON of tackles on his way to a 79 yard touchdown for the @OkobojiSchools Pioneers! (Video credit @MediacomMC22 Northwest Iowa) @SportsCenter

@mattheinrix @SportsCenter Top 10 material right here!!

TOUCHDOWN PIONEERS! An IMPOSSIBLE touchdown run by Asa Jacobsen, where he seemingly made every E-Hawk defender miss twice, puts the Pioneers up by two scores! #iahsfb Okoboji - 35 Emmetsburg - 20 4:22 3Q

@FAKEBOBVP Thanks Bob. Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Prepare yourself for the over-produced back-to-school videos on social media. Sending love & light to my friend Principal @downing413 after that fall.

@MikeJaytrackxc @IGHSAU @IHSAA The best of the best. If you are ever hiring or offering unpaid apprenticeships, I’d love to be in the room where it happens!

Waste deep in @IGHSAU @IHSAA state meet prep & loving every minute of it. 48.5 hours from the first gun. But who’s counting?! LETS GO!

@MrBradPeter Kid’s gonna have his own show on the Outdoor Channel before you know it.

This kid can’t get enough. Last night a small northern pike and he follows it up with his best fish of the year so far; 2 lb 3 oz smallmouth bass!

@RobSandIA I remember a song like that but it was about the roof.

One of the boys grabbed Christine’s phone yesterday and tried to pull an April Fools prank on me 😂

@UofGov This is the single most niche relatable tweet I have ever read. I felt this in my soul.

I don’t always open Life360…but when I do I was actually trying to open Podcasts

@MrBradPeter That’s Iowa baby. Love it or leave it. But you can’t actually leave it because your car won’t start.

There is a 70 degree difference between today’s low and the forecasted high next week?

@efrerichs THAT WIMPY DEER??

Me: did you guys knock out of the park today? Student: did we? Heck yes. You can call me.... uh, what's that baseball player's name? Other Student: Babe Ruth? Student: yes! Babe Ruth! Call me Babe Ruth! #SMH #eyeroll

@mattheinrix 1. agreed and 2. Further proof that Dickinson County is just too strong for the rest of the state.

Sending Spirit Lake and Okoboji to different state qualifying meets is pure evil.

Be sure to snag this week’s DCN. Our Spirit Lake and Okoboji homecoming special section does a magic trick.

@downing413 “Do you work here???” 😂

I think when people ask what is the best part of being a high school principal from now on I will just show them this picture. #Homecoming

@BojiCyclone @Super70sSports @Super70sSports Posts that picture about once a year and almost every time I get a mention from someone 😂😂😂 I collected his cards when I was a kid! Have them in my office at school!

@mattheinrix 35-14 MOC Final.

Anybody have a score for Okoboji vs. MOC-FV?
