Ruesink made an impact with 11 points against Thunder Basin. He’s a highly-valuable asset to Sioux Valley with his physicality and toughness in the interior. A strong finisher offensively and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s a guy that is always having a body on someone. Had a huge bucket with about 1 minute left in the game to put Sioux Valley up two points.

Why? The Cossacks from Sioux Valley are going to be one of the best teams in Class A this season. If they want to make another run at State, they will need a solid season from Ruesink. I watched him play last winter in JV and this kid is as tough as a bulldog. Ruesink is a strong and physical player with a nose for the ball. Tomorrow will give me a good idea of how skilled he is on the offensive end.

-Sioux Valley is a winning program and they took 2nd at State last season. They will come into the season highly ranked and they will have their sights set on State again. SV lost some talented seniors and Hudsyn’s older brother Hayden left some big shoes that need to be filled. The hope is that Hudsyn will step right in and fill that role. He certainly has the toughness and work ethic to do it. I like his size and grit, he has the potential to be a very nice player for SV.
