Hoefert to Play for Dakota State

April 24, 2006

(Madison, SD) - DSU Head Men’s Basketball Coach Wade Kooiman is proud to announce the signing of the fifth member of the Trojans’ 2006-2007 recruiting class.  Garrett Hoefert, a 6’5 forward from Salem, SD, has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball for Kooiman and the Trojans.

Hoefert comes to DSU from McCook Central High School after a fine career for the Cougars.  During his senior year, Garrett averaged 10ppg to go along with a team-leading 7rpg, and 2.5bpg, earning himself an All-Conference Honorable Mention selection and the team’s Most Improved Award. 

Coach Kooiman notes, “Garrett is extremely hard working.  He does more with the abilities he has, allowing him to outperform many of the players on the floor.  Garrett will undoubtedly be a great addition to DSU and the men’s basketball program.”
