The architect of an incredible run of 234-9 over the last nine seasons and seven consecutive state boys’ basketball tournament championship appearances, Mike Hilmer is leaving North Linn to take the superintendent’s job at Bellevue.
North Linn boys’ basketball coach Mike Hilmer notched his 500th career varsity coaching victory Tuesday night when his Lynx beat Easton Valley, 103-21, at home. Hilmer’s father, Bob, is the state’s all-time leader in wins with 917.
Austin Hilmer scored 29 points as North Linn boys’ basketball rolled to an 85-49 win at Alburnett. It’s the team’s fourth-straight win after seeing a 107-game regular-season win streak snapped.
Virtually everyone back for a North Linn boys’ basketball program that has played in five straight state tournaments and four straight championship games.
