Dear Student-Athlete,
If you run track this spring, we will notice...and be THRILLED!
(And your reply of "I'm slow" will only fuel the fact you SHOULD run track!)

Mach Mayen just sacrificed first place in a track meet because he stopped & helped a fallen opponent back to his feet. Mature middle schooler. Mature man.
Maybe the best

We cleared a path for them, but they chose the fun route as they left practice today!
(Thanks to student Noah M. for the great drone work.)
February 5-7 is Coach Garrow Burger Weekend at Tailgator's in Brandon! For every $10 takeout or dine-in burger (any style) and chips sold, $5 goes to the Garrow family to help defray their expenses as he battles cancer at the Mayo Clinic. Thanks for your support!

An amazing anonymous donor will match up to $10,000 to benefit Chad Garrow's family directly from the Brandon Tailgator's Coach Garrow Burger Weekend Feb 5-7. Owner Dave Halverson has close to 3,000 burgers ready with a truck on call. Let's show Coach how much he means to us all.

God Bless Coach Max Hawk, who just passed away after impacting student-athletes his whole life. He & Coach Jim Miner changed my life. A compliment from him lifted me for months. A critique created even more determination to meet his high standards.

My Dad, son, & I are life long fans. My son was paralyzed in a car accident 6 months ago at age of 16. He begged to go but with all we are dealing with it is just too expensive. I would love nothing more than to surprise him to help lift his spirits! π
My great friend & Head Ball Coach

Dear Youth Football Coaches,
Please...
Make sure they have true fun
Enjoy simple X's and O's
Agree that flag football IS valuable
Help them bond
Win the experiences, not the games
See into their hearts
Build them up
We want them all to keep playing.
Signed,
High School Coaches
Thank you, Lynx fans. Amazing. So many of you support us fiercely. Alumni, bandos, middle schoolers, Brandon residents whose children graduated long ago, neighbors, people who don't know a thing about football, people come hours pregame...and my dad up from Yankton every game. β‘
Son Pete is 12! Runs football film drones, rocks Fortnite, thinks deeply, loves Star Wars, devours Rick Riordan books, eats Danish pastry like crazy, feens for Pizza Ranch, smiles slightly, chugs Dr. Pepper, appreciates teachers, enjoys Gaga Ball, adores pets, hugs his momma...
Got a football dad to help me get his son in the weight room. Had to go to the parent, and I wish I didn't have to. Both parent & player were disgruntled about playing time during the fall. Then we won the title. All of these factors should lead to MORE lifting, not LESS. Right?
Congrats to
@bvhsfootball
defensive line coach Kent Anderson for being BV runner-up Teacher of the Year! Well done, "number one guy"! Best sense of humor in classroom & on the field! He loves the students who occasionally cause friction, resist learning or deviate from the truth!
Dear Current Athletes,
You'll hug your teammates a lot this season.
You'll also hug them a lot at reunions.
This is normal. This is the power of team sports.

Sincere congratulations to Roosevelt Rough Riders
@RoughFootball
Head Coach Kim Nelson on 300 victories! People who prioritize properly know that positively impacting lives is even more important--and Coach Nelson sets that bar extremely high also. We are lucky to compete w/him!
I'm really proud NOT to be obsessed with sports. I don't play fantasy football. I barely watch my favorite teams on television. I'm a husband, dad, teacher, coachβdoing my best at those. However, I AM OBSESSED with the lessons & traits that sports DEFINITELY teach & reveal!
Dear Coaches' Kids Everywhere,
Thank you for letting your parents work with their athletes. Never forget how much YOU matter.
Signed,
Every Coach Trying to Make a Difference
Great to finally meet

@JaminArend30
after seeing his film, reading his stats, & enjoying stories about him. His future is bright in all respects.
All Coach Garrowβs current and former football players and track athletes are invited Saturday (1/29/22) from 6 to 9 pm to meet at Tailgator's to connect, share, and spend time with each other as well as the football and track current and past coaches.
Loved coaching against Logan Uttecht of
@SFW_Football
because of his class, competitiveness, skill, and team-first attitude. I doubt he ever complained about targets or blocking assignments.
Sure is nice to have him on our side now. Go Utte!

2024 Tecmo Siouxper Bowl Champ!
John Boerigter is the man for organizing & benefiting the Family Visitation Center, a truly noble cause. Itβs rad to win a Barry Sanders college jersey. Barry Anderson is hard to beat. Players came from as far as Green Bay just for the tournament!

& I made a SD high school football player Hall of Fame.
He's always told me stories of our state's best, especially those he played against.
This thread will show our list, little by little, made out of respect & love for SD high school football.
Our senior walk after the final home game. They graduate in a month, and we will miss them dearly.
Thanks to them for being winners on and off the field.
Two of my seniors are the most serious students ever, with Ivy League options. Last I heard they were leaning toward MIT.
Tonight, near where my kids & I were playing tennis, I saw them playing kickball with buddies, all wearing gigantic smiles.
KICKBALL. It was so beautiful.
Coaches: Like you, I love coaching/leadership books.
And I love movies with examples if coaching/leadership.
What movies & movie characters inspire you?
I'll go first: "Master & Commander" with Russell Crowe as Captain Jack Aubrey. Incredible. Could watch it a million times.
He changed my life in so many ways.
We coached together at
@bvhsfootball
after he retired from USF. Coach Young led our QBs, including Jack VanLeur, who loved him & learned the intricacies of reading defenses along with the best ways for leading a team. Left an amazing legacy.
Thank a referee today.
Thank a coach's wife.
Thank a coach's kid.
Thank an announcer.
Thank a student manager.
Thank a trainer.
Thank an activities director.
@RandyMarso
Thank
@Krog14
and
@danswartos
for ensuring this season happened smoothly for our programs!
Excited to coach against my old teammate Brady Muth (
@dobalina54
), who really has the Bucks playing hard & well! An o-tackle & a tight end, we were part of an undefeated 1995 Yankton team. He showed me how to lift & grind. Football is a special game. May we all honor it fully.
So proud of
@johnsonjordan02
who would do anything for any team or anyone lucky to be close to him.
An executive noticed he's an amazing worker at his job. He makes a difference everywhere he goes.
Our football family will miss him dearly, but
@MMULancersFB
will benefit big!
Wasn't easy, but I steeled myself and found a way to out-eat all these much smaller, much more beautiful people whom I love so much!
I'm grateful for all my blessings & good fortune. Can't really even begin to imagine having it any better than I do.
#HappyThanksgiving
We love you, BV basketball players.
Thank you for representing Brandon Valley with such class, grit, and teamwork.
Enjoy tonight fully. You'll never forget it.
Dear coaches,
Find & visit mentors. Jack Lauer coached at my school 1953-62 with a 60-12 record. Heβs now 99. He fought in WWIIβs Pacific Theater & knew ace pilot Joe Foss well.
His laugh, perspective, advice, & sincere endorsement are invaluable to me.
Signed,
A grateful coach
Endlessly proud of and impressed by
@igklinkhammer
. I will never forget the battler you are on the wrestling mat. And a fine, clever student in my classroom as well. Well done, young man. You have my utmost respect.

Leave it to linemen.
Great moment tonight at practice.
Most of our staff can't coach tomorrow due to conferences. Still wanting a great practice, I expressed concern about a much higher player : coach ratio.
@ZRoggow
: "I'll take care of it."
@ZBennett71
nodded reassuringly.
Congratulations to a hard-working, run-stuffing, opponent-concerning, teammate-loving sack master!

is fired up for you, and fortunate to have had you! Over 30 career legit sacks is unheard of! And TFLs beyond compare! Save me a seat at future
