As the founder of Sacred Hoops, a state-wide youth AAU youth basketball program, Allan Bertram has been pretty busy the past few years.
He added to that workload this past summer when he took over the Rapid City Central girlsâ basketball program.
Despite some ups and downs because of the coronavirus pandemic, Bertram said it has been an exciting time since taking over, especially with how hard the team has worked since his hiring in June.
The goal now is to get the Central girls back to state prominence.
âOur girls have worked extensively throughout the off-season,â he said Wednesday during practice at Naasz Gymnasium. âWe werenât able to have practice that first week because of the COVID guidelines, but our kids, because of the time they spent in the gym in the offseason, have really improved their skillset. I think that helped because they were a little more ready than they normally would have been.â
