Iverson set for first season as Legion senior director

Later this week, Pierre Post 8 will begin its season traveling to Watertown and Brookings and for the Legion senior team, will have a new manager at the helm, but still a familiar face.

River Iverson was hired last winter as the next head coach of the Legion of Eight senior team, succeeding Brian White, who resigned late last summer. Iverson is no stranger to this team, however. Including as an assistant coach last summer, Iverson has coached most of these athletes since graduating in 2020, playing his final summer for Pierre.

Nolan Petersen, Grayson Hunsley and Brayden Houlette, the other three seniors will have the opportunity to play again as super seniors in 2025. For everyone else, all are juniors, sophomores. and the freshmen on this year’s team. Iverson says there’s a lot of excitement heading into the season for these young guys…
