Prayers up for Brock Sell as he heads in for surgery tomorrow. Heart broken for him because I know he worked so hard for this season, but I know he will come through stronger for this challenging time.

Congrats and good luck this week to Glenwood Activities Director Jeff Bissen. He is one of eight finalists for the NHSACA Athletic Director of the Year at the NHSACA National Convention in Lincoln this week. This honor is well deserved! Thanks for all you do @GlenwoodRams!

I just received word from Caleb Sanders’ mom that South Dakota State has decided not to redshirt him. Look for him (#99) playing against the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday! @glenwoodrams

We will wear these helmet stickers the rest of the season in loving memory of @TravisSchoening @GlenwoodZone. Travis mastered the habit of servant leadership and he made a positive difference in the lives of so many of us. We will miss him dearly.

Hard to say goodbye to @coach_woodrow, who’s moving tomorrow. He’s loved Glenwood Football all his life and has sacrificed a lot for players over the last 20 years as a coach. We love and thank you coach Woodrow. I know you’ll always bleed Black and Gold.

Proud of this team, and especially our seniors. They showed grit, heart and servant leadership all year. Left the program in a better place. Made the final 8, and the only the 3rd team in program history to win a playoff game.
Love these guys.

When people realize that the weight room is designed to make it hard, to make us learn how to struggle, how to overcome challenges, how to embrace being uncomfortable, and to encourage each other... then we can be dangerous.

Ram Athletes thinking about not playing a Gwood Spring Sport this year to focus on your club team or work, keep in mind we have arguably the best ever group of girl VB and BB athletes in our school now, and most play a spring sport. Here are a few signed up for track again!

Walking through puddles in the grass this morning before the band contest reminded me how nice it is to have field turf now. Our football and band students’ safety & experience would be a huge concern right now and in the next 2 weeks if we didn’t have turf. Thank you Glenwood!

I dug up this video of Caleb Sanders squatting 510 on his 16th birthday. He lifted before school and in class most days in high school while also playing FB, Wrestling, and Track and Field. Now he’s a D1 1st team all American and paying for a National title tomorrow at 1!

Carr’s 387 yds passing breaks Coach Grant Stivers’ single game passing yards record set in 2010. Zach also had some clutch plays down the stretch on D. @d2mart @KWhiteFA @DMRegister @bennettblk @nonpareilonline
Zach Carr just put up the best high school offensive performance I've ever seen in 11 man football. He rushed 7 times for 131 yds, completed 14 of 23 passes for 387 yds and 5 TD's...for 518 total yds of sweet smelling offense. Oh. And he broke up some nice passes on D. Wow.

I always feel sick when it’s over, but it seems worse than usual today.
I’m proud of, and thankful for, our team and the journey we shared. Special thanks to our seniors who put their heart and soul into the team goals and finished on empty. We love you guys!
Last nights football loss ended a great 4 year career for our seniors! A big thanks to all the seniors for their years of dedication to @GCHSFB. We are thankful of the football memories you created & appreciate you always representing Glenwood with class by doing the right thing.

“My kids have learned this at the age of 10 and 9. I ask them almost everyday, “who can ruin your day?” They both smile and say “no one.”
No matter what anybody says or does to you today, chose to have a great day.” - David Polluck
We can make it a great day or not. Our choice.

I appreciate all the IAHSAA & media do to support HS FB most of the time, but it’s frustrating that the people who are most in touch with the actual players-the coaches-aren’t the major decision makers about what is best for the athletes.

I just spoke with Coach Heitland, the Head Coach of the South for the Shrine All-Star FB Bowl Game. They had a player not be able to attend this week, and in practice Brock Sell has earned an opportunity to play quarterback this Saturday in addition to kicking or punting duties!

Big props to @IGHSAU for double checking this and getting it right!
Glenwood girls 4x200 meter relay was previously (and erroneously) disqualified, but they won an appeal and end up with a fourth-place finish in a time of 1:45.72. Big five points for the Rams.

Last rodeo with this guy tonight, at least for this year. Best of luck to @MHSCoachJoyner as he officially leaves for his next stop tomorrow. He has been a great asset to me and our district in many ways, including taking up umpiring with me, and he will be missed.
