Four Winds is thrilled to announce that Charles Schrader, a former standout from Pine Ridge High School, has committed to joining the Wolfpack for the upcoming basketball season. After initially signing with United Tribes Technical College, where he appeared in 15 games as a true freshman during the 2021-2022 season, Schrader is set to make a significant comeback on the court.

Last season, Schrader took on the role of assistant coach for the Pine Ridge Thorpes, gaining valuable experience off the court and deepening his already solid basketball IQ. His time as a coach has equipped him with unique insights and strategies that are expected to enhance his performance and leadership as he returns to play.

“Charles brings not only talent but also a deeper maturity and understanding of basketball thanks to his recent coaching experience with one of the best coaches in the state,” said Coach Shaun Little Horn, head coach of the Four Winds Wolfpack. “We are excited to see how his mental toughness and passion will contribute to the team’s dynamics and success.”

The Wolfpack basketball program aims to provide a platform for talented players from tribal communities to excel both academically and athletically.

With Schrader’s addition, the Four Winds Wolfpack is poised for a promising season where they will compete against some of the top programs in the country.
