(Harlan, IA) — The Dean Mosher era begins for the Harlan boys basketball team tonight — the Cyclones host Shenandoah in a Girls Boys Doubleheader, coverage on KSOM.
Mosher was hired to replace long time Head Coach Mitch Osbourn who retired after last season. Harlan is coming off a 9-13 season and loses a lot of inside players like Ben Leinen, Jozef Reisz, and Bryce Van Baale plus Weston Reisz. However, the Cyclones return their top two leading scorers Senior Dallas McDowell (17.4 ppg) and Junior Kobe Klaassen (13.4 ppg). Mosher says McDowell and Klaassen can work between themselves to lead
Mosher says there will be others who will see increased roles this season
Without a true center this year, Mosher would like to get out and run some more

On the girls side, Harlan is 0-2 but both losses to highly ranked teams — 2A #2 Treynor and 1A #1 St. Albert. Junior Kenzley Bruck leads the Cyclones averaging 12 points a game.
