Episode #93 - Forrest Witt (Alexandria Boys Basketball Head Coach)

April 23, 2025 • Matt Bare • Episode 93

Winning the first boys basketball state title in school history is nice but winning it with your son and nephew in your starting five is extra special. That was the case for Alexandria head coach Forrest Witt as his Cardinals secured the first state title in program history.

Forrest has the pleasure of coaching his son Mason and nephew Talan as well. Along with those two the team was led by their biggest star Chase Thompson who was selected as Mr. Basketball in Minnesota and is headed to play for the Clemson Tigers. Alexandira came out on top in Class 3A with a bracket that was absolutely loaded with top teams. The other cool thing about this episode is hearing that one of your guests has listened to most of our podcast episode, so thank you to Forrest for that.
