When asked about Rollin, coaches commented on his selfless ability to be a role model and support for everyone.
Coach Thacker says, “Rollin has given this program many years of selfless work. No excuses, no ego, just commitment to everyone around him”.
Coach Emm adds, “Rollin is a consistent calming presence. We talk about finding the calm in rough seas and he is the epitome of that. He helps everyone center and steady a rocking ship.
Schierholt: Rollin, wow!!! A young man who is program first and is our calm, yet fierce competitor. Your ability to lead by action is this groups most valuable asset. It has been a real privilege and pleasure to watch you lead and inspire all around you! Your work ethic is second to none!

Rollin, thank you for making us better with every step. Our program is better because of your example.

IT’S SENIOR WEEK! congrats to the Class of 2026! We want to take a moment to highlight our seniors. Wrapping up the senior are our captains. First up, #1 Guard, Trent Ipsen.
Trent’s inspiration is his mom because she shows him what hard work and dedication look like. She always encourages him to persevere and helps him fight against adversity.

Basketball is always there for him, whenever he needs it.

Message from Coach Schierholt: Ohhhhh Trent-o!! Where do I start: a fragile, gentle baby just a few years ago, you have transformed to be not only a shooter(after years of being told to shoot) but a leader to those around you. A steward of the game and a craftsman of his own. You are a guy with the right mindset that we all want at critical moments in any game.

Trent, your growth and love of the game do not go unnoticed. Thanks for leading our team this season in many ways.

To Noah, Coach Schierholt said: Mr Coyne. Ohhhh the pleasure has been all mine nonetheless. Coaching you for many years and being able to see your personal growth has been something in a million years I didn’t think was even possible, but yet here we are already and it has happened. I appreciate you and your unwavering commitment on your craft. You are a great young man and the true definition of a warrior! You don’t back down any one! Love you kid! Side note: you are your uncle Wes!

Thanks for always bring grit, intensity, and fun to our program, Noah.

IT’S SENIOR WEEK! congrats to the Class of 2026! We want to take a moment to highlight our seniors. First today is #2 guard Nathan Priou.
Nathan’s inspiration is Steph Curry because he grew up watching him and wanting to be like him ever since he was a little kid. Nate likes basketball because of the constant movement and speed of the game.
Coaches talked about the example that Priou always sets. Coach Thacker says, “From Football to Basketball, Nate has given everything to the team - effort and heart. He has made us a better team because of it. Coach Emm says, “Nate is a natural leader. He may not be the loudest voice, but others notice what he is doing and he’s excelled at being a leader by example.
Coach Schierholt’s message: Nate!! My man, a real class act. Your well versed song lyrics you introduced me to will be cherished. Now to the upbeat motion that has led you to be a key part of this senior group. Anything that is asked of you, you are ready for any moment, and it’s never too big for you. From watching you in football as we ran the chain gang, to coaching you through the years in basketball, you continue to demonstrate that you are the definition of a team player. Thank you for not only the example you set, Nate… but for being the best DJ ever.
