COACHING NEWS
Hankinson girls basketball coaches Shawn Gravalin and Mike Loll have been cleared of wrongdoing again. This is a quote from the report that was printed in the Fargo Forum

Part of Sanstead’s report read: “Through this investigation it has become readily apparent that the Geffre family dislikes the girls basketball coaching staff and, in particular, Coach Gravalin. The source of this dislike appears to be the fact that Coach Gravalin does not treat Casey and Cody Geffre as the stars they and their parents believe them to be.”

Jonelle Streed has been hired as an assistant at Miami of Ohio. Streed went to high school at Cambridge-Isanti and played her college ball at St. Cloud State. Recently she was an assistant at Arizona.
