Minnehaha Academy basketball coach Lance Johnson retires
The leader of Minnehaha Academy’s rise to Minnesota boys basketball prominence is retiring.
Redhawks head coach Lance Johnson is retiring after 20 seasons at Minnehaha Academy. He guided Minnehaha Academy to five state titles, leading the likes of Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren to high-level success.
Even after those stars departed, Minnehaha Academy continued to thrive. The Redhawks reached the state title game in 2023 and were a consistent fixture at state tournaments.
