You 4 dudes!!! I love you more than you'll ever know. I've been so proud to see your growth over the last 4 years, you took some hard bumps early on and then bought in to rebuild this program back into a powerhouse. I'll cherish our memories forever - Thank you!
If our youth takes anything away from watching the Twolves it should be this: DO NOT COMPLAIN TO THE OFFICIALS AFTER EVERY CALL, YOU ONLY MAKE IT WORSE FOR YOURSELF & YOUR TEAMMATES‼️ The maturity level is so low, its one thing to play w/ emotion, its another to act like a 🤡
These Seniors man..crazy to think about where they were as freshman, who would leave me scratching my head most days when I was a senior hooper. We had a tough stretch..BUT 3 years later, they bought in, grinded, & are now Regular Season Champs! Love these dudes and this team!
Today is heavy like most meaningful holidays and events are.. today my youngest brother Nate would’ve turned 21. Happy heavenly birthday bro 😇 Take every moment in with your loved ones as much as possible !! ❤️

The last two seasons we’ve gone 28-3 inside the Lewy Lee. Players making plays.. absolutely.. BUT you can’t beat the 😈 “Mayville Maniacs” Student Section! 🗣Big time s/o to the best fans in the nation. Keep that same energy in Watertown 🔋
#MayvilleMade
Not enough words describe the thrill I had with these group of guys. Sad our time together on the court is over but this season’s memories will last a lifetime and for that I’m beyond grateful...

My grandpa called to talk about our first round game tonight and the road ahead. Nearly 3hours worth of insight, questions, comments, and laughs. Forever grateful to have such an invested family!

My dad was the real MVP tonight. Didn’t even hesitate to help me move out of my old crib & into my new one. Worked an entire day at his job, drove 2hr round trip, helped haul things until 11pm. Never have questioned his love for me and my siblings. Thank you Dad, you’re the man‼️
Called my fam last night to talk about our opening round playoff win, which I thought woulda been the biggest news in the Kleinschmidt house but I was wrong..
My sister: (whispering on the phone cuz my dad is close) “I kicked some a** in PhyEd today.” 😅😂🤣
Congrats Reagyn 🥇🏆
Why are you mad at Jimmy Butler? Shouldn’t you be mad at 2 max contract players who got embarrassed for “lack there of” off-season? I applaud Jimmy for showing the young guys that you need to earn your worth. Jimmy is that dude!!
Not 1... Not 2... But 3️⃣ STRAIGHT Conference Tournament CHAMPIONSHIPS‼️
Your Comets are the 2019-2020 North Star Champions after beating Waldorf 65 - 62.
Tonight’s win pushes our overall record to 24-5!
An emotional evening getting messages from guys that I got to watch grow up right in front of my eyes— wish I could’ve been there for their big night! I know one thing for sure, they’re gonna succeed even more in the next phase of their lives! Love runs deep with this crew
Minneapolis ✈️ to San Francisco 🚌 to Los Angeles. What an experience! Huge THANK YOU to our California Kleinschmidt family

We played all 2-3 zone this season, went 24-5, won our league, made the national tourney. Sooo I wouldn’t mind recruiting a kid who can already grasp the concept. 🤷🏼♂️
Known coach for 20+ years, have had the opportunity to be apart of his staff for the last 3 seasons... I’ll tell you this, he’s just getting started 💪 congrats coach!
