Greg Hoemke begins his sixth season as the Red Knights’ head coach, having led BSM to North Suburban Conference titles in three of his first five seasons.

After leading the Red Knights to the NSC title and the top seed in the Section 6AAA playoffs last season, Hoemke served as a coach in the Lions All-Star Game.

He took over the reigns of the BSM program in 2008, following five seasons as the Red Knights’ assistant coach, and promptly won the first of his three NSC crowns.

In five seasons under Hoemke, the Red Knights have finished no worse than fourth in the 11-team conference, including four seasons of finishing either first or second.

Hoemke came to BSM from St. Agnes, where he spent six seasons as the assistant baseball coach in addition to serving as an assistant football coach during his tenure there. He also served as the school’s B-squad softball coach in 1984 and as an assistant baseball coach in 1985 while attending the University of Minnesota.

A junior high English teacher at BSM, Hoemke also is a member of the Red Knight football staff, working with the Junior High program.

A 1983 graduate of St. Agnes, Hoemke earned his bachelor’s degree from Minnesota in 1986.

He and his wife, Jane, have two children; Rachel, 21, a 2010 BSM graduate who played varsity softball and tennis and currently attends the University of Minnesota; and Marshall, 16, a BSM junior who is a member of the Red Knights’ varsity baseball and football teams.
