Congratulations to Garrison Carter, Griffin Daun, Justin Drobnik, and Braeden Carlsen on being named NLCC All-Conference!!!
Wait, we aren’t done yet!!
Griffin Daun is also NLCC Player of the Year!!! Outstanding season gentlemen!
Could not be more proud of this group. You set high goals for yourself and showed up every day working towards those goals. Even with our season cut short you checked all the boxes. We still ain’t done...
To say our program has a heavy heart is an understatement. Mr Gillen has meant so much to our program over the years. Whether it was getting our players back on the floor ASAP or just stopping in for a story and a laugh. You will be missed greatly missed by all.
We are saddened by the sudden loss of Bob Gillen, a devoted Math teacher, athletic trainer, and friend.
Bob dedicated his time to the education of students, the care of athletes, and the growth of colleagues.
We offer our condolences to Bob’s family and all who knew him. 💜💛
Our new single season scoring record holder is
@BraedenCarlsen
who accomplished this in our best team win of the year. Finished the game with 20pts/6reb/6asts!!! He has done nothing but improve throughout the year! Not forcing shots & letting the game come to him.
