Thunder head coach Brandon Puck talked to his team during a timeout at last Saturday’s scrimmage in Sauk Centre.
Replacing a graduating class that filled the roster would be a challenge for any team. Replacing a roster that accounted for 96.7 percent of the scoring and went 20-6 last season is an even bigger challenge. That is what the Thunder boys basketball team will be tasked with entering the season, but...
Junior guard Bryce Irsfeld worked on a defensive drill during a practice last week. Irsfeld was the team’s leading scorer in 2014-15.

The Thunder volleyball team put together a nice season on the court, but that came to a close last Thursday when they hit a brick wall against a well-rounded Sauk Centre team.
