One thing to note in this week’s Sports Take: Local reporting on PJ Fleck hiring Mike Shula as a Gophers ‘special offensive assistant’ notes he was offensive coordinator at S. Carolina last season. But I didn’t see anyone report he was fired *during* the season. Details below:

Kinda hard to admit this as a @BreckSchool household, but @BlakeBoysHoops just completed a beautiful run to the Class 2A boys’ basketball tournament by beating Maranatha for the Section 5AA title. From 2-7 in conference to state. Team play can take you far.
