Viktor WE did! ❤️🖤
There is no better way to recap all the INCREDIBLE individual and team athletic and academic accomplishments than TOGETHER! Congratulations to our senior Viking, Ella Larsen, on earning Female Athlete of the Year award! #RowWithUs
Centennial girls basketball coach Scott DeJong calls it a career. And what a career it was. 7 state titles; 6 at Ankeny, 1 at Centennial.
DeJong says it was a difficult decision, and he's sad, but happy to have a great run.
The 64-year old DeJong tells me he turned in his letter of retirement today and will spend part of his time mowing the golf course at Talons of Tuscany. :-)
Happy retirement, Coach.
