We have some pretty amazing employees who work for us. Two of these incredible individuals got inducted into Hall of Fames this past weekend.
✨ 🎉 Former DLPS teacher and longtime coach, Bob Gorden, has been inducted into the Minnesota State High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame at their annual awards banquet on October 10 in Minneapolis, a testament to his tireless dedication and passion for excellence!
During his remarkable coaching journey, Bob inspired countless athletes in basketball, track, and golf, leading his teams to achieve greatness with 22 consecutive conference championships, 10 Section 8AA Championships, and three Class AA Championships (2008, 2011 & 2012), along with five 2nd-place, and one 3rd-place finishes! 🏆
His induction into the Minnesota Golf Coaches Hall of Fame in 2018, and the Detroit Lakes Hall of Honor in 2024 are a reminder of his lasting impact on the world of sports.
This well-deserved recognition is a celebration of his unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders!
Congratulations Mr. Gorden, on this incredible achievement! 👏🏻👏🏻 🎉
Keith Eckhoff was added to the Concordia Athletics Hall of Fame. Go Cobbers!
Keith Eckhoff ’06 was the first men’s basketball athlete to earn D3hoops.com All-Region honors in 2005 and one of only four players in program history to do so. He was named to the MIAC All-Conference Team that year. Eckhoff averaged 21.3 points per game in the 2005 season. He led the MIAC in free throw percentage that year and connected on 47.9 percent of his shots from 3-point range — the highest single-season percentage in Cobber history.
Eckhoff finished his career with 1,019 points and 121 3-point field goals.
Congratulations Mr. Eckhoff, on this incredible achievement! 👏🏻👏🏻 🎉
