Been on the road a lot lately.Went to the Iowa State Tournament and the Nebraska State Tournament last
week.Then on Sunday, my daughter
started playing AAU Volleyball and that tournament was in Omaha.So I have spent a lot of time in my car.[Read More]
This was a really rewarding season for me.I will tell you why.The least amount of games I have ever won in
a season is 15, and have done that 3 times, so in reality from a record stand
point, wasn’t what we were hoping for, but let me tell you why this was a great
year.[Read More]
Well the conference tournament is upon us again.We look forward to this game against
Wartburg.They have a real nice team and
are always a tough opponent.They are
well coached and Coach Peth and I have gone up against each other many times in
these kinds of games over the years.We
have coached against each other for 13 years.He does a real nice job.The two
games we have played this year, have been blowouts in the 2nd half
by the home team.I expect it will be a
close game this time.
It is another night of Senior Night at BVU on
Saturday.It is hard to believe that
these four seniors are already almost done.They are tough guys and are solid leaders.They are team first people, and that is why
we have had a good year, and the reason we have never given up.
Last week was a mentally draining week for my family and I, especially
my wife.My mother in law, Irene Dokter,
passed away a week ago Sunday, and of course, it has been tough.Spent a lot of time with my wife’s family,
and had the funeral last Wednesday.My
wife went back up to Sioux Center on Saturday and spent a couple of days with
my father in law.As most of you fans
know, my in laws did not miss many home games, so we need to keep my father in
law coming to the games this week.Barb
and I want to express our thank you to all who had kind words, cards, and
emails.It really means a lot. [Read More]
My most favorite weekend of the basketball season is always Alumni
Weekend.We had 20 guys back and honored
the 2000 team for the best season is school history.The Alumni put it on our JV team.Now you have to know, that our JV team has
been real solid this year with a 12-2 record, but our Alumni put it on us by a
score of 84-67.Mike Cameron led the way
with 19 pts.It went so well for them,
that even Chris Petersen and Matt Janssen made 3’s, which that now gives Pete
one for his career.Anyway, we had a get
together after the game and it was just a great time reliving old memories, and
talking about our team now.[Read More]
Loras comes to town playing the best basketball in the
conference over the last month.They
have won 8 of 9 games.They beat Cental
a week or two ago, and is the only team to beat them over the last month.Loras and Central play in Pella next
Wednesday. Will be another fun matchup for them.
Luther is one of our favorite places to play over the years, as they
have a nice facility, the floor is nice, but for some reason the game is always
low scoring and not very pretty.[Read More]
