Albert Lea – To Be Determined. Albert Lea once again has a new coach although at this point I’m not sure who it is. TBD is the official title on the state site.
Benilde-St. Margaret’s – Hans Hoeg. Hans is a former Red Knights assistant coach who also spent time at the college level including Augustana where he worked during their top run.
New Ulm – Matt Dennis. Matt is from Minneapolis but has spent the last several years coaching in the state of Michigan.
Monticello – Bridge Tusler. Bridge Tusler was at MCA last year as an assistant and of course before that was a standout high school player at Osseo. He also played most recently at Bethel.
Rocori – Levi Peterson. Peterson was actually the coach last year but he wasn’t hired until just before the season started so we wanted to bring him up now as this year’s Levi has had an off-season to prepare his team.
South St Paul – Matthew McCollister. McCollister moves over from Brooklyn Center and will immediately change the culture of Packer Hoops which has been in a hole for nearly 25 years. The Packers already have two of their best players in the program ready to go in Dodd and Wilson.
St. Anthony – Chris Satterlie. Satterlie comes to Saint Anthony from Scottsdale, Arizona where he also coached basketball.
St. Cloud Tech – Brent Petermeier. Most area basketball residents know Brent as a coach for the Minnesota Comets out of the St. Cloud area. He’s a local education and a local high school product.
St. Paul Como Park – Michael Landers. Landers was the coach at Navarro College last year and is now moving on to the high school level.
St. Paul Harding – Kenny Olafeso. Olafeso played Concordia-St. Paul, has been a high school assistant at Harding while also coaching the RIP City AAU basketball team. A constant in the Minnesota basketball community.
St Paul Highland Park – Jesse McCann. McCann has been working and coaching in the St. Paul public schools for the past eight seasons and is now the new Highland Park head coach.
