you can see the pain and anguish on his face and feel it in his voice. the men and women who have fought for our freedoms must feel awful about our current situation.
The best part of coaching is the young men you get to work with. The next best part? All the role models/heroes that my son looks up to! Thank you
@SFW_Football
players for all you do!!
South Dakota:
In the 4th qtr of last night's Platte-Geddes vs Gregory football game this happened:
Senior Brady Sprik, who was injured in a car accident his freshman year, got on the field with his teammates. And scored a touchdown.
Humanity. Sports.🌎❤️
Great kid! I remember the smile on his face when he caught the game winning 2 point conversion in a JV game vs SC East. I’ll always remember that smile! Rest In Peace Tavian
Since it’s Festivus here is my PE teacher grievances:
1:wearing slides to class. Come on man!
2:”I can’t participate ‘cause I can’t crease my new shoes” what??
3: kid who asks to go to the bathroom and comes back 20 mins later. You fall in?
4:wearing your coat during class. What?
I was lucky enough 2 have my son get 2 hang out with me at football camp the last 3 days. I ask him what his favorite part was. His response “the guys.” Thank you all
@SFW_Football
players for being the great guys and role models that you are for all those young kids out there!!!
Update: we survived the night with all the 12 year olds. Damage includes: 5 pizzas, untold bottles of Gatorade, 24 donuts, 1 pack of oreos, 1 bag of skittles, loss of sleep and damage to the eardrums of the parents. Other than that it’s been great
Bittersweet feeling knowing it’s your last practice. Couldn’t ask for a better group of

QB’s to coach. Thanks for all your hard work fellas. Let’s finish the job tomorrow night!!

I owe Coach Nelson a lot. Gave me a chance to coach right out of college and was a great mentor to learn from. Thanks for all you have done for South Dakota football Coach Nelson!!!
Words can’t begin to describe the type of young man he is. He is an amazing football player but he is an even better person!! We’re gonna miss you Jack!!
My 1st year in college
@KalenDeBoer
was a senior. My senior year he was our OC. When he was a senior he never once big timed us frosh or looked down on us in anyway. When I graduated he helped get me on
@SFW_Football
I’m forever grateful for that!! Indiana is very very lucky!
My son just told me he coordinated a fantasy draft with his friends over Zoom. He’s 13. Kid can’t take his dirty clothes to laundry room but he can coordinate a zoom meeting!!
Not only are the Washington Warriors playing for their fourth consecutive state title. They’re making their 10th trip to the DakotaDome over the past 12 years, including six crowns.

A lot of fun times with these kids!
Hard to believe this guy is moving to high school in the fall!! The time has flown by. Can’t wait to see what you can accomplish the next 4 years! Love you bud!!!
A lot of respect for this guy. I’m 41. If Jadeveon Clowney breathed on me I would be in bed 4 a week. He went toe to toe with the Seahawks and gave his team a chance.
Admired Josh McCown so much today. 40-year old journeyman stepping in from cold to make debut in the playoff crucible and giving it his all. Even more so after listening to him postgame. Huge respect to a man unafraid to speak beautifully and emotionally
Need to thank
@WHSBoysBask
for coming to Whittier and watching the 8th grade boys basketball game vs Patrick Henry. 2 great teams in 1 amazing atmosphere!! Our kids really appreciate the efforts that WHS makes to connect with our kids!!
Congratulations to our JV Warriors win over Yankton today!
Side note:
Over the last 4 years under the leadership of

and Lance Siebenahler our JV team has had an amazing 28-4 record! Thank you gentlemen for leading our Warriors!

calls one of the most respectful & funniest players he has coached, became South Dakota's all-time rushing touchdowns leader. Yards record next. Congrats, Tupac Kpeayeh!
Happy National Coaches Day to all those who feel the calling. No better reward than getting to work with young people everyday!! Thanks to all of those coaches that helped me and have helped my kids! You do more than you ever will know!!!

I’ve heard plenty of kids say they regret not playing football...
But I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a kid say they regret playing the sport. This sums it all up right here.
@CoachRyanParker
It's happening here in the largest city in South Dakota. All sports are moving more to an elitist mindset at an earlier age. We are losing a lot of kids that could develop into great players because they can't afford to do it.
GAMEDAY!! Let’s Go

@PatsRevolution
fans!!! Gonna be a great night for some homecoming football. Make the ‘Wood as loud as ever!!!!
This one is getting ugly. Schafer beats WHS defender once again to give Lincoln a 28-0 lead over city rival Washington with 2:30 left in the half.
#SDpreps
I couldn’t ask for a better group of
@SFWarriorTrack
throwers to coach. Hard workers with great attitudes! Some of the best kids you’ll ever find. Thank you!!

@MattKerney
Time to go back to 16 teams in AA and do away with AAA. It would allow more schedule flexibility so teams don’t have to just play metro schools and not have to travel so much. The “we can’t compete with SF” doesn’t really fly when Pierre has won 6 in a row at the AA level.
