Our thoughts and prayers are with Matthew Myers, head coach at Holdingford, who lost his pregnant wife in a car accident yesterday. No words come to mind as to how to deal with this but our program is definitely thinking about Matthew and his family.

It’s about the journey, not the destination. Very challenging for our team to hear the news. A lot of tears. A lot of emotion. But this team brought it everyday. So they are champions in our book.

Difficult decisions made by the MSHSL today. While none of us can control the decision, we can all control our response. One thing is clear: the kids will rise up and make the best out of this situation because they are resilient.

This Vikings kicker situation makes me think about one of the most difficult things in coaching: when to give a player more chances vs when to give someone else the playing time. More difficult in high school since we care so much about the players.
