Team Goals from Coach Kellan Herman
“Our main goal is to go out and compete every night and play our brand of basketball. If we do that we have a pretty good chance to pick up some W’s. The goal we have for the team as coaches is to just have fun. These guys had a year taken away from them so I just want them to have fun and play basketball. Having fun on the court translates into a lot of other things within the game and I believe that will help us be successful.“
Top Falcons
Mike Larvie (2022)
He has been working hard on getting better and will be a good player for the Falcons this season. He brings depth at the post position and Larvie can also step outside and shoot the 3.
Richard Brill (2022)
He is excited to get some varsity experience under his belt this season. Richard is a very athletic player that can get to the rim and run the floor. He gives the Falcons some length at the guard position.
Terrance Eastman Terrance Eastman 6'5" | PF Todd County | 2022 State SD (2022)
He transferred from Rapid City Stevens to Todd County this year and Terrance will make a big impact for the Falcons right away. He was one of Steven’s leading scorers last year and Eastman will give the Falcons a lot of size and skill on the inside.
Sayge Yellow Eagle (2023)
He is a lightning-quick guard that played good varsity minutes his freshman year. Sayge will be the best defender and one of the best passers for the Falcons.
Charles Long (2023)
He is a skilled 3-4 man that can score in a variety of ways. Charles loves breaking down guys off the dribble and can run the pick and roll very well.
Stephan Guerue (2023)
He will be one of the best shooters on the squad. Stephan plays hard and he will be one of the go-to players when the Falcons need a big 3-pointer.
Ray Crow (2024)
He played his freshman year at Pierre last season due to COVID. Ray came back to Todd County and is excited to suit up for the Falcons. Ray is a skilled point guard that can control the floor and shoot the ball as well. He will only improve as he gets more varsity experience under his belt.
Team Comments from Coach Herman
“It has been a LONG time off for our program. It has been over 20 months since we last played an in-season game. Our players couldn’t even get into our gym until June this past summer so we have been hard at work. We are just excited to get out there and play. Many of our players just want to go out and show everyone who they are and showcase their skills. The majority of players on our squad haven’t played since they were freshmen and many haven’t played a varsity contest yet. I am excited to watch these young men go out and compete and play the sport they all love.”
