NEW COACH
When I received the news before the high school basketball season began that Lac qui Parle Valley had hired former LQPV graduate Dylan Erickson as the new girls basketball coach I got pretty excited! I thought that was a great hire and couldn’t wait to work with Dylan on the Coaches Show and broadcasting the girls games. Dylan’s hire reminded me of when my son … Continue reading NEW COACH
VIDEO TIME
