Selected seventh in the A-R-C Preseason Poll, the Storm open their season with a wealth of returning production. Fifth-year senior and twotime all-conference performer Chris Honz is back after averaging 10.1 points and just over six rebounds per game. Also returning for the Storm is senior guard Andrew Curran, who was the team’s leading overall scorer last season, pouring in 266 points for an average of 11.6 per game.
THE EAGLES
The Eagles also open their season in today’s contest, led by head coach Brian Fincham in his 16th season. The Eagles also return a solid core of players, including second team all-region guard Jayce Goergen, who averaged double digits in each of his first three seasons. Jared Pearson was the team’s leading scorer last season, averaging 15.4 points per game, while also grabbing over six rebounds per game.
LAST TIME THEY MET
The two teams squared off last November in Cowles Fieldhouse, with Simpson claiming a 101-64 victory. Caden Rehmeier scored 24 points to led the Storm who had 11 eleven different players get into the scoring and rebounding columns. Trent Williamson (14), Andrew Curran (13), Jack Hutchinson (12) and Buck Eagleburger (10) all reached double-digit scoring in the victory as well.

THE COACHES
HEAD COACH
BRAD BJORKGREN The 2022-23 season will be Brad Bjorkgren’s eighth as the head men’s basketball coach at Simpson. In his first five years with the program, he helped the Storm post at least 13 wins in each year for the first time since 1994-99. An accomplished high school coach prior to Simpson, Bjorkgren was inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2017 for his remarkable career at Urbandale High School. The Storm are 82-83 under Bjorkgren (pronounced Bee-york-gren). Simpson has landed a spot in the conference tournament six of the last seven seasons, including two-straight semifinal appearances between 2018-20. Since taking over, Bjorkgren’s squads have produced 18 all-conference honorees, including seven first team selections. Conor Riordan was named a 2020 Jostens Trophy finalist for program’s first since 2003 and was a two-time Academic All-America recipient for the Storm, just the second men’s basketball player to land on the team twice. At the end of his fourth year, Simpson had hosted a conference tournament game each season under Bjorkgren. He led the Storm to a 15-11 mark in 201516, a nine-game turnaround from the previous season. He tied the school record for wins by a first-year head coach and piloted the Storm to a second-place finish in the IIAC, the program’s best in 12 years. Bjorkgren’s up-tempo style produced a school-record 232 3-pointers in 2015-16 as Simpson led the IIAC in several categories, including steals, turnover margin and free throw percentage. Sam Amsbaugh earned Iowa Conference co-MVP honors in 2017-18.
14
Hired as the 23rd head coach in Simpson history on April 15, 2015, Bjorkgren came to Simpson following a 27-year stint as the head coach at Urbandale (Iowa) High School. He went 398-213 at Urbandale, winning nine Central Iowa Metropolitan League (CIML) Championships and appearing in seven Class 4A State Tournaments.
