Shoutout to 5B TLK Black, led by coaches Jay Blair, Matt Kitzmiller & Kevin Zawodniak on an incredible basketball season!!

This group of boys capped off an amazing year with a 31–5 record, advancing to the championship game in all 8 tournaments they played—earning six 1st‑place finishes and two 2nd‑place finishes.

Their historic run concluded last weekend with a state tournament appearance, finishing 2nd in Illinois after a hard‑fought triple‑overtime battle. Their grit, heart, and refusal to quit were on full display as they left everything on the court and made their school and community proud.

These future Knights showed everyone what true champions look like—and their story is only just beginning!!

Hustle & Heart!!!

4B TLK Black travelled north this weekend to Lincoln IL and brought home 2nd Place 🥈 out of 26 teams in the John Welsh Memorial Tournament. They were the only school feeder team to make the top 8 bracket and took down 2 select teams to advance to the championship! These boys may lack in size and height but make up for it with grit and determination! Congrats on the 4-1 weekend and representing TLK 🏀 with Hustle & Heart ❤️ !!

Hello TLK Families, we are quickly approaching our 10th Annual Hustle and Heart Basketball Tournament which is hosted here in the Triad School District. This is one of the largest tournaments in the midwest region as it is a 4-day tournament, hosting approximately 130 3rd-6th boys and girls teams & families!!!

Each tournament, we ask local sponsors for a $100 donation in return for having their business logo placed on a banner which is used for photo opps for the teams. This year, for the first time, we are hoping to gather enough sponsors to have 2 banners (one placed at THS and one at Henning) so if you are a local business owner or might know somebody in the community that would like to participate/donate, we would greatly appreciate it!

Please email [email protected] in order to confirm your interest/intent to donate or also if you have any questions. Below is an example of a previous tournament banner. We appreciate everyone's consideration and donations!!

Hello TLK families!!! As our 10th annual Hustle & Heart Tourney quickly approaches, we are considering finding some food trucks to be in attendance during the weekend game play. Do any of our TLK families have friends/family that own/operate a local food truck that they could recommend/connect us with? Thanks!
