We continue to be excited about our Multi Sport Athletes! Carter is our QB, Kellen is a Soccer Goalie and on the Track Team and Ayden was an extremely valuable DB for SMB. It’s so cool to see these well rounded student-athletes prove you can do it all!
Congratulations to the 2026 @TruStoneFCU Class AA Boys Basketball All-Tournament Team!

🚨 STATE CHAMPIONS 🚨
Minnehaha defeats Goodhue 81–69 to claim the Class 2A State Championship! 🏆🔥
A remarkable run for a team with just one senior—this group showed resilience, unity, and heart all season long.
Let’s hear it, Redhawks! 👏❤️🖤 #MinnehahaAcademy #MyMinnehaha

I believe @ChetHolmgren is the 1st Minnehaha Academy Alumni to be named an NBA All-Star…Congratulations, Chet!
When I look back at 2025, my trip to @Baylor is going to be one of those marking moments in my life. The people, conversations, topics, humility...I could go on & on. Thanks to @p_emory @FaithSportsInst @SportFaithLife for a great time. Also, thanks to @RedhawksAD for sending me!
Been an absolute treat of a day at the Global Congress on Sport & Christianity. My mind & heart are overflowing with such great content & conversations. Looking forward to another great day tomorrow. @p_emory @Baylor @FaithSportsInst

When it comes to youth sports, caring for young athletes doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sports ministry leader Brian Smith shares a practical way that he cares for his kids when they’re playing a sport.
What are some additional practices and tips that have worked for you?
Doubleheader for MA baseball & softball against Blake. A little chilly but spirits are high! Go Redhawks!

🥇 Best at 12—or built for the long run?
Todd Smith reminds us: Youth sports aren’t about peaking early. They’re about progress, purpose, and playing the long game—on and off the field.
