Sleepy Eye girls basketball coach Ryan Hulke announced his resignation from the program with the following letter released to the press:
I’d just like to let everyone know that with a very somber heart I have announced my resignation as the Head Girls Basketball Coach at Sleepy Eye High School as of Monday.
It simply comes down to I want to be a Dad and watch my son the next two years until he graduates from Byron. I love everything about the Community of Sleepy Eye, the School, Our Basketball Program, the Parents and the Athletes we have there, but I don’t want to miss watching my own son play for the next two years.
I appreciate all that everyone has done for our basketball program and myself throughout my ten years of coaching girls’ basketball at Sleepy Eye as I have memories I’ll never forget and friendships for a lifetime. I will miss everyone every day, but I need to make this decision for me as you all know I put a little bit of time into this .
Once Again Thanks for All the Memories,
Hulke led the Sleepy Eye girls’ program to three state basketball tournaments including a second place finish in 2018.
