The NBL off-season accusations are starting to heat up and the Taipans have made a big move by signing Alex Loughton. Loughton played for Perth a few years ago and was a solid big man for them. He has the size to play both the 4 and 5 so that should give us a added boost. Our frontline looks strong and for us to compete for a top 4 berth we need to get a import PG and flat our scorer. I felt one of our problems last year was that we didn’t have anyone that could create for the rest of the team. We need someone that can penetrate and kick to open shooters. Our team consists of a lot of guys that can finish but have a hard time creating for themselves. Hopefully by the time the season starts we have all the pieces to make a serious run at a top 4 spot or even the championship.

Congratulations goes out to my old high school coach Dan Elhard for being named the 2010 MN 3AAA Coach of the year. Well deserved and finally some recognition for northern MN. The Thunderhawks have made 9 state appearances since my group first broke the ice in 1997. The credit is due to the dedication to basketball in the area from Coach Elhard on down.
