January, 2019…impressive sequence from Caleb Bacon and Chett Helming in a home win over West Fork. This was one of the best Bulldog dunks I’ve seen in my coaching career.
Great buzzer-beater from February, 2017. Charlie Dugger’s 7th three-pointer of the game lifts the Bulldogs to a 56-54 win over Forest City.
Finished off summer 🏀 this weekend at the West Fork team camp. Picked up some good wins, played many competitive games, and learned a lot about our potential for the upcoming season. Thanks to our players for your commitment throughout the summer. November will be here soon. 🏀
Very proud of @HunterKingland as he leads his first youth camp as head coach of our girls’ program. Will miss coaching with Hunter, but very excited to see him lead Lake Mills girls’ basketball.
Gavin Paton is our final Friday free throw winner of the summer with 44 of 50. Great shooting, Gavin. Another excellent workout this morning by our team, and we’re looking forward to competing this weekend at the West Fork team camp. 🏀🏆#Together

January, 2016…Granger Kingland scores the two most painful points of his school record 1,458. Beautiful lob pass by Charlie Dugger.
Lots of debate going on in different states about HS 🏀 shot clocks. What is your ideal shot clock situation for high school?
December 2018…Bulldogs 67, G-H/V 64. High-level high school basketball game with multiple future college athletes on the floor. Fun sequence of plays here.
Enjoyed some July Jubilee slow pitch softball today with Eli and many of his friends. For anyone who watched, I’m sure I fit right in with the athleticism of this group. 😉🤣 In seriousness, this was really fun…great bunch of young men, along with Coach Brandenburg and me. 😀🥎

More excellent shooting (23 of 25) by @KorbinAbele to win his fourth Friday free throw competition of the summer. Great attendance and work in the gym this week by the guys in our program. 🏀🏆#Together

Best NBA team of all-time? Here are four teams commonly thought to have a claim as the greatest ever.
Good progress shown by our group today in a home scrimmage with Charles City. High intensity throughout the day, and many positives from our players. Plenty to work on as well, as there should be at this time of year. #Together
