Ironically, some of the best team players come from some of the smallest communities.

That's because rural America has always valued a spirit of cooperation, whether

raising crops or raising athletes.

The quarterback's closest teammate lives three pastures, four fences and a creek away,

but you'd never know it come game night.

They had to find their potential last piece of the puzzle in a very unlikely place — right out of the pocket of their biggest rivals. Now, there’s a long ways to go and many factors to go into if in fact Brett Favre is the final piece to the puzzle, but at face value, it’s an upgrade from what was being offered to start the season with. There are plenty of roses — and warts — which are coming with the signing of Favre, who turns 40 in early October. But in the harsh world of professional sports, it’s a win now attitude and the Vikings are set up to win now. The risk and questions were just too big to go with ei-ther Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels at quarterback. It’s that simple, they were way too much of an unknown quantity heading into the season to lead a team which has been assembled to win now. Not many holes are in the Viking Longship now. The have the best rushing attack in the NFL, headed by the freak Adrian Peterson and backed up by probably a top three backup in Chester Taylor. Their offensive line is geared to run the ball, with the two biggest tackles providing quite the bookend bulk in Bryant McKinnie and Phil Loadholt. The playmakers are there, with the Vikes’ top draft pick Percy Harvin providing bust-out speed and a potential touchdown from anywhere on the field.

Favre has a few steps to take for Viking success

.............................Visante Shian-coe is looking to place himself on an elite level of tight ends,

especially with tight end friendly Favre throwing to him. The defense is also legit, ranked as the top rushing unit in the league — and that looks to hold with the return of middle linebacker E.J. Henderson. Their pass rush is elite with defensive end Jared Allen com-ing in with 14.5 sacks. They have their two corner-backs — Antoine Winfield and

Cedric Griffin — locked up for the next five to six years. So, in essence, the only leak which needed to be addressed is quarterback. Now that we’re past the dra-matics of Favre’s waffling of re-tiring or not, it’s time to see what he can bring to the table. The number one concern? Health. Favre is beat up, there is no doubt about that. That’s what entering your 18th year in the NFL brings you. The knicks and bruises are a bit bigger, but it’s something he’s played through for many

years. But it’s that small muscle and tissue in his rotator cuff of his throwing arm which would de-rail his season. If that goes, the next issue comes up. Unlike what Eric Mangini didn’t do last year, head coach Brad Childress needs to act like he’s in charge and bench Favre — thus ending that consecutive game starting streak. Playing with pain is fine, play-ing injured just hurts the team. The Vikes do have a pair of valid backups in Jackson (if he isn’t traded soon) and Rosenfels — who can be considered a top second-string quarterback, who can play effective for a streak of four or five games. That needs to happen if the zing goes out of Favre’s passes and his arm is dead. All egos need to be locked away with the key thrown out. Which brings us to the third point in which Favre will need to accomplish to make this a good deal. Favre has to accept the of-fense will not go as he does. This is Peterson’s gig, it will re-volve around him. If Favre can accept his role as a quarterback who only has to throw it 20-25 times, limit the turnovers, move the sticks on third and long, then pull off a few two-minute warning drives — this experiment will work. There was a microcosm of a sign that Favre has already ac-cepted the fact that the team will not live and die just by his per-formance. In the third preseason game in Houston, the Vikings had the ball from their own 26 with 3:32 remaining in the half. That’s about time to kick in your two-minute offense. In years past, Favre would take it upon himself to drive the team down the field with that over-used cliché of being a gunsling-er. Not this time — which is a good sign for the Vikes. Instead, the first three plays went to Peterson, who had runs of six, five and 15 yards. The first play after the two-minute warning was an incom-plete bomb. But then Favre’s experience took over and he started to use his knowledge of the West Coast offense, looked off defenders and took what they gave him.

A short flat pass to Taylor netted three yards. A nice bullet to WR Sidney Rice on third and seven picked up a first down. Penalties slowed down the drive, but on first and 15, anoth-er dump off over the middle to Taylor netted five. Two more plays over the middle to Taylor and Harvin put them on the Houston 28 with 37 seconds to go. Favre completed his first touchdown pass, not on a risky hard throw in the end zone, but on a crafty screen to Taylor af-ter looking off the secondary and opening the right sideline for Taylor to run through almost untouched and a touchdown. That drive — which took nine plays and gobbled up 74 yards — was done by a toned down Favre and one which would not have been accomplished by ei-ther Jackson or Rosenfels. Those two-minute drives will be key for the Vikes this season, since not many — if any — have been finished in the last three to four years.

It’s that Favre the Vikings need, the one who has holstered his guns and let the talent which surrounds him win the games. Peterson will benefit, as well, which could be Favre’s biggest contribution. Defenses may try and keep stacking the box with eight to nine guys, but Favre will be able to pick them apart. Any good, veteran QB sali-vates at those nine guys in the box. A few big completions down the field, will force de-fenses to play Peterson with their base defense and honest. That in turn, will lead to many more seven to 10-yard runs and more production out of No. 28. There are plenty of stars which need to be realigned, but the biggest realignment will be Favre’s attitude and ego. If he does just that — this crazy little experiment may just work.

With a load of last year’s seniors taking a bulk of the 2008 minutes along with them, the Frazee football team is looking to make a repeat cre-scendo towards the end of the season. The Hornets broke in sev-eral younger players during the 2008 season and proceeded to go on a five-game winning streak to cap the schedule. There could be similar steps taken this year, said Frazee head coach Jim Rader. “By the end of the season, we are hoping our younger play-ers are going to be solid and we’ll work the kinks out,” Rader said. “That happened by the end of the third game, when we went on that five-game winning streak.” The rushing game for the Hornets will benefit from their two most-experienced players in three-year center Clint John-son (5-8, 194) and running back Matt Viste (5-9, 165). “Clint is just a solid vet and Viste is a top 15 running back in the conference, which is pretty good for us,” Rader said. “(Viste) is one of the shiftiest backs I have seen.” Senior Dylan Stender (6-0, 155) also returns after a year at quarterback and will provide Frazee with a staunch aerial attack after he had the second-most TD passes in the confer-ence. “He takes good care of the ball,” the Frazee coach said of his quarterback. Rushing between the tack-les will be junior fullback Mike Moltzan (5-9, 194), who finished as a top 10 rusher in the confer-ence. “He’s a bruising fullback, but he also is fast in the open field,” Rader added about Moltzan.

There will be several two-way starters on the lines, with senior Cody Richter (5-11, 209) providing the offensive line with good feet and strong work eth-ic. But with four of the five start-ing offensive linemen gone, there will be a lot of grooming to be done throughout the sea-son on the front lines. Junior Nate Sandberg (6-1, 195) will be a contributor on the line after working hard in the weight room over the offsea-son. “We should be alright on the line and have four other guys competing hard for the rest of the positions,” Rader said. “We’ll basically have eight new people on offense this year.” Speed will be added on the outside by wide receiver For-rest Jackson, who will be a two-year starter at the position. “Forrest and three other guys are also competing for the punt and kick returning duties,” Rad-er said. “They all provide good speed and explosiveness.” Richter and Sandberg are back on the defensive line, while Moltzan will anchor the defense at middle linebacker. There is some strong com-petition going on in the second-ary, with up to six Hornets vying for playing time. “Of those six, all have good speed,” Rader said of his sec-ondary battles. “The defense is starting to play with aggression and they are learning well. The

key is reacting to the football well, which can result in some turnovers.” With state-ranked Hawley residing in each of Frazee’s conference and section, both will be hard.

“You are not just looking at Hawley as being the favorite in both, but how far they can go altogether,” Rader said. “But we would like to finish in the top three in the conference and gain a home playoff game.”

For the fifth year in a row, the Hawley Nuggets are looking to get over the proverbial hump. But in the Nugget’s case, most teams would be dying to get just one opportunity to get to that type of hump. The Nuggets have played to the Class 2A state semifinals four years in a row — all end-ing in losses — including last year where Hawley came up just yards shy of making to the finals. “We were just six yards short and a few extra seconds possi-bly from winning that game,” said Hawley head coach Peder Naatz. “It’s definitely a motivat-ing deal for the kids, to get over that hump. They are hungry to get over it.” And once again, the Nuggets are primed to make yet another deep run through the playoffs with what they have coming back. For one, they have the bulk of their powerful and explosive rushing game back in the form of 1,000-yard rushers junior Kevin Olson and senior Nathan Mattson. Two, they have bookend tackles who have the size of some college offensive line-men and the talent to dominate the line of scrimmage in se-niors Erik Rosenfeldt and Tyler Haugtvedt. Thirdly, they have the cata-lyst to meld all these high-end players together in senior quar-terback Taylor Harms. And all this is not to mention they return a load of players back on one of the most suffo-cating defenses in the area. “Offensively, I don’t think we have a real weakness now,” Naatz said. “We have the op-tions with speed, as well as power rushing. “Hopefully by midseason, our defense is gelling well.” Having the luxury of two tackles who have the size and strength to literally push back defensive linemen into the sec-ond level of the defense, it af-fords plenty of options for the offense which has two of the better backs in the region. Rosenfeldt weights in at 285 pounds, while Haugtvedt plays at 250 and both have good ex-perience. “It’s a good deal having both back, some small colleges don’t have tackles that size,” Naatz said. “They have studied the game and know what to ex-pect.” Senior Brady Berg will start at center, while senior Brantly Gram will man a guard position, with the other guard slot still be-ing played for heading into the season. The offensive line will be key to spring the two-headed rush-ing monster of Olson and Matt-son. “I’m very excited what these two can pull off this season,” Naatz said. “They have added some muscle and Nate (Matt-son) was third in sprinting at the state track meet last spring, so you know he has good speed.” Olson also was on Hawley’s 4x100 relay team, which fin-ished sixth in the state meet last year. “They have plenty of speed,

but they also can run with pow-er,” Naatz said. “Nate is stron-ger and bigger and has grown stronger in his lower body and can cut more sharply. Kevin can be a thumper, too, and he just refuses to be tackled.” Directing all this will be Harms, who has been impres-sive throwing the ball — thus giving the Nuggets a weapon to use against defenses who are stacking the box with eight to nine defenders to try and stop Olson and Mattson. Harms saw most of his action last season as Hawley’s leading wide receiver. “Taylor is more confident and he knows he will be the one taking the snaps this year,” the Hawley coach said. “He’s also a very talented runner. But if defenses stack the box, we do have that option to air it out.” The responsibility of stretch-ing the defenses will be up to a trio of receivers in seniors Jake Bjornson, Sam Grandbois and sophomore Riley Burns. Rosenfeldt and Haugtvedt will anchor the defensive line, with three to four players in the mix at defensive end, including senior Tyler Gilberts. At linebacker, those who will see action include Olson, soph-omore Patrick Arens at middle linebacker, senior Andrew Reg-nier, Burns and junior Tanner Schultz. The secondary returns Harms at cornerback or safety, free safety Bjornson and Grand-bois. All the players on the Nug-gets team have experienced a great deal of success over the last four years. For that reason, Hawley has a swagger, but not overconfidence. “Realistically, we are expect-

ing our fair share of wins this season,” Naatz said. “They are comfortable playing on the big-ger stage and they are a loose group, who play with some high intensity.” For yet another season, the Nuggets are in line to quench that hunger of that elusive shot for a state title. But for a fifth year in a row, they have the ammunition to be one of the last teams standing.

Can lightning strike twice? For the Lake Park-Audubon football team, they hope it can. The Raiders are ready to heighten the odds of repeating as Section 6-1A champions with a host of talent and experience coming back from the Class 1A state semifinalist squad of last year. LP-A was a quiet state quali-fier after a dominating regular season, keyed by a stingy de-fense which gave up a state-best 6.2 points per game. But after making it to the state semifinals in the Metrodome, the Raiders will no longer be sneaking up on anyone. “There’s a confidence there, not a cockiness,” said LP-A head coach Jed Swegarden. “The players know they can’t be sat-isfied with what happened last year. But they are setting some higher goals this year.” The Raiders return eight players off that stout defense, which was fast, quick and physi-cal. The Ware twins — Bryan and Danny — return at the outside linebacker positions, where they helped contain any outside rushing attack with their quick feet. Manning the inside lineback-er slot is senior Caleb Lunde, with a host of returners back on the defensive line. “Our defense carried us early last year and with a num-ber of kids back on the defen-sive line and eight returning, I think we have just as much speed as last year,” Swegar-den said. LP-A’s leading rusher and leader Kenyon O’Brien has moved on after graduation, but there are several seniors primed to fill in that hole in the backfield. Senior Brian Gordon had a solid year at quarterback, run-ning an efficient offense which didn’t shoot itself in the foot with turnovers. After “his best offseason yet”, Gordon enters his senior cam-paign with more confidence and ready to take on a larger leadership role. “He’s been more vocal and more confident running the of-fense,” Swegarden added. This season, LP-A will have a different array of runners with a mix of speed and size. Returning are seniors Bobby Lalonde and Bryan Ware, who each rushed the ball effectively as juniors. Senior Nick Hanson will enter the fray in the backfield, while Jon Nelson will see some action, as well. “Things maybe a bit different this year with our size of backs, but Ware still has that break-away speed to take it all the way,” Swegarden said. If there is a question mark on the team in experience, it is the offensive line. “We lost some key seniors on the line,” Swegarden includ-ed. “We’ll need some guys to step up there.” Bringing some seasoning

on the O-line is senior Brandon Schoeberl, with the rest of the positions up in the air for the first game on the schedule. Gordon will have a pair of re-liable hands to throw to, as well as some height, in senior Jesse Wixo and Lunde. Wixo proved to be an ef-fective red zone target with his ability to go up and get a lofted pass in the end zone in 2008. “I think we are going to have some more scoring capabilities in the red zone,” the LP-A coach commented. There were a few goals which were not accomplished in last year’s magical season, like going undefeated and win-ning the conference. But a return trip to the Class 1A state playoffs is obviously still at the top. One hurdle LP-A will have is in the section, where Royalton and Barnesville has been add-ed. Royalton was the team which ended the Raider’s run through the state with a 42-20 win in the semifinals. “It’s going to be a battle,” Swegarden concluded about the season.

BRIAN GORDONThe senior quarterback is more poised and confident after helping lead the Raid-ers to the Class 1A state semifinals. His management of games will be a great help in LP-A’s quest to repeat as Section 6-1A champions.

BRYAN WAREThe senior speedster helps secure a stout defense at his outside linebacker posi-tion. His twin brother, Danny, mans the other side of the linebacking corp.

NICK HANSONThe senior running back will help fill the void that last year’s leading rusher Kenyon O’Brien left. Han-son is a solid and consistent runner and should help the Raiders move the chains.

Patience will be practiced by the Mahnomen Indians this season after losing a majority of starters in their skill positions from last year. Drives for the Indians will not be quick and fleet, instead an offense which will be plodding and grinding will be the norm. “We are not too big and we do not have that 80-yard touch-down speed,” said Mahnomen

head coach John Clark Jr. “We do have kids who have seen success within both lines and that is a comfort.” The majority of the offensive and defensive lines return after another trip to the Section 6-1A championship game last year. Those returning with expe-rience on the offensive line in-clude juniors Kyle Robinson, Tyler Coleman, Aaron Bendick-son, Peyton Zornes and Alex Greene. “The only concern on the offensive line is they are not the biggest guys,” Clark said. “Which the same goes for the defense.” Junior Dylan Stevens will take over the reins from three-year starter Logan Handyside. “Dylan has been in the pro-gram long enough that he un-derstands the offense,” Clark added. “He isn’t being asked to do too much.” Junior Alex Lavoy is setting up for a big year at the fullback position and will see the bulk of carries this season. Although he will be the full-back, Lavoy still has the speed to split out wide and catch the ball, as well. Senior Zach Neis did a lot of the “dirty work” last year, as far as blocking for the Indian run-ning backs. He will see some more car-

ries in the triple-option offense. Senior Brandon White had one catch last year, but it went for a touchdown, as he will also be looked upon for more action this season. The defense will be Mah-nomen’s strong suit, with junior linebackers Robinson and La-voy anchoring the unit. “Our linebackers will be our strength,” Clark said. Zornes will be one of Mah-nomen’s defensive tackle posi-tions, while Neis and White will

start at the end slots. “We should be able to put a lot pressure on the quarterback from our end positions,” Clark said. “We’ll play the run tough, with Neis being a good run-stuffer.” The secondary brings back some good experience in Ste-vens and junior Mike Johnson back. Turnovers will be a key for the defense and Clark believes the Indians will once again thrive in that area. “We have good athletes across the board and that will help create those turnovers,” he included. “The defense will be a key for us this year. “We lost some horses from last year, so it will be interesting to see who can step up.”

alex lavoyThe majority of the Mah-nomen carries will go to 6-1, 195-pound junior fullback Alex Lavoy. The bruising full-back will find his living bash-ing his way in between the tackles.

BRaNDoN WHITeAlthough senior Brandon White caught only one pass last year, it went for a touch-down. He will anchor down the wideout position, but also will be a force coming from the outside on defense from his DE position.

ZaCH NeISThis senior running back will add to the Indian’s triple-option offense at the running back position. He did the dirty work blocking last year, but is poised to carry a bigger load in 2009.

After a couple of seasons be-ing forced to play underclass-men, those players are ready to earn the fruits of their labor. “We have the bulk of our re-turners back and lost only two seniors from last year’s team,” said first-year head coach Dustin Fraten. “They have grown up and ready.” Senior Tanner Wang will be both the anchor on each lines after being fully recovered from an ACL injury last year. “Tanner is a phenomenal lineman, he’ll be opening and plugging holes on the line,” Fraten said. Running behind Wang and the offensive line is senior Tay-lor Koczur at fullback. Senior Cody Zimmerman will run the defense at quarterback and will provide another strong

rushing option. “Cody can pass it, yet, but he has the control of the huddle,” Fraten said. One of Zimmerman’s targets will be hybrid tight end/wide receiver senior Levi Ander-son, who can also play running back. “Our senior group are lead-ers and you can see it in them this year, they have a bit of that swagger,” Fraten said. The workhorse on the offense will be junior Dillon Stevens, who will average between 25-30 carries a game. “The majority of his runs will be between the tackles, but he can also bounce it outside,” Fraten included about Stevens. Junior Adam Wibe will also provide some speed in the backfield, as well as sophomore Nolan Briard. “Our philosophy on the of-fense will be ball possession,” the U-H coach said. “We want to eat up ground and the clock.”

The defensive line will be led by Wang, while the linebackers will be the key in the nine-man scheme. Sophomore Troy Peterson, Koczur and Briard will handle the linebacking duties. “These guys have taken their licks the last couple of years, but these seniors are hungry to win now,” Fraten said. “If we can stay healthy, I think we can turn this around.” Fraten was a two-year as-sistant at Ulen-Hitterdal, before becoming the head coach this year. He was also a seven-year as-sistant at Lemmon, S.D.

codY ZimmermanThe offense will be run through senior quarterback Cody Zimmerman. He controls the huddle and adds to the Spartan rushing attack, while giving Ulen-Hitterdal the threat of going over the top.

dillon SteVenSUlen-Hitterdal’s opponents will see a big dose of junior running back Dillon Stevens. He will see the bulk of carries and he can not only run the ball inside, he can carry the rock around the ends and go to the house.

tanner WanGThis “phenomenal” lineman will anchor the Spartans in the trenches. The senior guard will be able to open holes on offense, but plug gaps in the defensive line. Opponents will have a hard time blocking this Spartans all game.

taYlor KocZuSSenior fullback Taylor Koc-zus will see some running duty, but he will also be the lead blocker for Stevens. Koczus will be a tackling machine from his LB posi-tion.

leVi anderSonSenior Levi Anderson has a strong pair of hands for Zim-merman to throw to. The U-H tight end can hit the seams, as well as be an effective red zone target.


The Waubun Bombers ended the 2008 season with some un-finished business and they feel — despite what it looks like on paper — they have the bullets to reload and complete what they set out to do last year. The Bombers’ path to a po-tential second-straight Nine-Man state playoff berth abruptly ended in the Section 8 champi-onship game with a surprising defeat to Ada-Borup. Many of the big guns from that undefeated regular season team are gone, but Waubun head coach Jason McCloskey is confident in their replace-ments. “I’ve been coaching these same guys now for the last four years,” McCloskey said. “We felt we didn’t leave everything out on the field for that section championship game. These guys want to continue that win-ning tradition which has been built here over the course of the last several years. “I credit (former) head coach John Clark and the seniors the last few years for building that tradition. We are expecting to win games now that football is back in the minds of the com-munity.” There is a good host of re-turners, which is coming back at the offensive and defensive line positions. Senior right guard Matt Haverkamp and junior right tackle John Brower will be stal-warts on each line. “Brower will be a force to be reckoned with at 6-3, 270-pounds,” McCloskey added. The backfield took the big-gest hits from last year’s gradu-ation class. Gone are 1,000-yard rushers Floyd DeGroat and Tyler Voss, along with bull-dozing fullback Izaac Bray and the savvy quarterback Dustin Spaeth — who had a 13-to-2 touchdown to interception ratio last season. “The backfield is our biggest question mark entering the sea-

son,” McCloskey said. With Spaeth being a three-year starter, not many other younger QB’s saw much sea-soning. Three entered the preseason with a shot at becoming the regular signal-caller, which in-cludes senior James Ritterman, junior Josh Syverson and soph-omore Sam Lerud. “Ritterman was our starter at QB for the junior varsity team and he is a 6-1 quarterback with a good arm,” the Waubun coach said. “He knows our of-fense and has shown his leader-ship skills.” Three will look to fill the void left by DeGroat and Voss. Seniors Adam LaDue and Kel-len McArthur, along with junior speedster Tanner Voss have the tools to work with to keep the Bombers on par with last year’s amazing rushing performances. “We may surprise some people with our rushing game this year,” McCloskey said. “Voss is very fast and Ladue is like a Floyd DeGroat and McAr-thur can run well. “I have no concern about their experience. People may not know their names, but they are good players.” Senior John DeGroat and sophomore Luke Morgan will help stretch the field at wide re-ceiver and are reliable targets for whoever is tossing the ball. The defense has a good mix of experience returning, including LaDue and Voss at linebackers and Brower at defensive tackle. Syverson returns as a hard hit-ter in the middle at linebacker. Although the names maybe different, making other teams overlook them throughout the season, don’t expect the Bomb-ers to buy into it. The motivation to not just re-bound from last year’s section title defeat, it is also there to continue a newly-formed win-ning tradition at Waubun.

Adam LaDueYes, there are some big shoes to fill in the Waubun backfield after over 2,000 yards of rush-ing graduated. Senior run-ning back Adam LaDue could have been one of those starters last year, but is now anxious to take his turn this year tearing up opposing defenses from his running back posi-tion

Tanner VossJust like LaDue, this 6-1, 220-pound fullback is ready to haul the Bomber offense on his back and down the field. Voss is a strong blocker and a top-notch defender and tackler.

There is one point of emphasis the Detroit Lakes coaching staff has put on the 2009 Laker football team — being more physical. With the cruncher of a schedule the Lakers have, being more physical will

be a key in close games and a run for their second North Country Conference title. “Hopefully we’ll be a more of a physi-cal team than we have been in the past,” said DL head coach Flint Motschen-bacher. “We should be more physical up front and we’ll need to play better de-fense overall. “We have an extremely tough sched-ule (which features five road games and three home ones).” To accomplish that goal of being more physical up front, the Lakers do have the advantage of returning three offensive linemen. Senior center Justin Holm (6-0, 245), along with senior tackles Pat Williams

(6-2, 205) and Paul Voeltz (6-3, 195) will give the Laker’s a consistent look on the line. The other returning offensive player is junior Josh Stalberger (6-4, 185) at wide receiver, after he led the team in 2008 with 13 catches for 242 yards and three touchdowns. “We have about four to five players in the mix at each position from there,” Motschenbacher said. Sophomore Joe Mollberg will cut his

teeth at the quarterback position after he started at wide receiver last year, haul-ing in eight grabs for 162 yards and two touchdowns. “Joe practiced at the position all of last year, but it’s different in a game-type of atmosphere,” Motschenbacher said. “He is a good, strong athlete and throws the ball well. He’ll be a good quarterback and we’ll have to develop him along.” Each of senior T.J. Manning (6-0, 185) and sophomore Brian Labat (6-2, 205)

can also take snaps. The backfield will also have a different look, as DL’s top four rushers are gone. The Baker boys — junior Logan (6-0, 175) and junior Nate (5-9, 155) — will provide speed on the perimeter, while sophomore Alex Mason will see some time, as well. Senior Alex Feldt also returns after run-ning the ball some last season, as well as ju-

“We should be more physical

up front...”Flint Motschenbacher

nior Josh Egg-ebraaten (5-11, 165). “We have av-erage speed

at the running back position, but we’ll do what we go out and try to do — and that’s run the foot-ball,” Motschenbacher said. Stalberger will feature a set of receivers who are able to go up and snag the ball out of the air. Senior Brock Johnson (6-5, 200) joins Stalberger out wide, along with junior Con-nor McLeod (5-11, 170), senior Tanner Duncan (6-2, 165) and junior Jon Gilson (6-0, 195). Holm is back at defensive tackle, while senior Tyson Libby (6-2, 230) and Voeltz will clog the middle at the tackle posi-tions. At the ends, Johnson will be a force, along with senior Davis Johnson (6-3, 200). Eggebraaten and Gilson will also play downs at the defen-sive end slot. The linebacker positions have Feldt and Williams as re-turners, with junior Bryce Dut-ton (6-1, 205), sophomore Nate Bausman (6-0, 200) and Mason seeing time. The secondary will have many new faces, with the play-ers contending to play the cor-ner positions being senior Andy

Pedersen (5-10, 170), Manning, McLeod and junior Erik Larson (5-7, 145). The safety positions will have Stalberger, junior Connor Hed-strom (5-11, 165), senior Mark Labat (6-2, 180) and Brian Labat seeing time. The Laker’s schedule fea-tures two tough contests against 5A teams. DL will host Robbinsdale-Armstrong Sept. 11, then travel to traditional powerhouse Min-netonka Oct. 9. “We look at it as a chance to play in a big-time football at-mosphere and play in front of 6-7,000 people,” said Motschen-bacher of the matchup with Minnetonka. “We are going to go down there and compete.

“We have played 5A schools before and have done quite well against them.” Another reason the Skippers were added was there would have been an open date other-wise. “The kids work too hard in the offseason to have an open date during the season,” Motschen-bacher said. In all, DL will have three field turf games — at Shanley (Sept. 4), at Minnetonka and at Duluth East (Oct. 21). This is also the last year of the North Country Conference, with Thief River Falls already out of it and Duluth Central clos-ing. The 2010 schedule for the Lakers already has four North

Dakota teams on it, which is the only teams available for DL to play at those times. “We have no choice but to play North Dakota teams, be-cause this is the last year of the conference,” Motschenbacher said. In Section 8-4A, Alexandria has been added, with Sartell being one of the favorites once again.

With a guarded optimism, the Perham Yellowjacket foot-ball team has hopes of reaching the State Tournament for a third consecutive year this fall. The Jackets have a few holes to fill from the team that won the Heart O’ Lakes North Confer-ence title last year with a 5-0 re-cord (9-3 overall). But the cup-board isn’t completely bare. “We have several returning starters from last year and many with playing experience,” said assistant head coach and defen-sive coordinator Mike Jordahl. “We hope that we can build on that and continue a strong tradi-tion of Perham football.” One hole they don’t have to fill is at quarterback where 6’7” senior Ben Bucholz will run the show. Having lost one of the school’s all-time leading rush-ers, Nate Schmitz, to gradu-

ation, the Jackets will have to find help for Bucholz in the backfield. Looking to fill that hole will be several players, in-cluding Matt Dreyer, Chris Sc-heidecker, Tim Herrmann and Charlie Schmitz. Schmitz was an All-Conference linebacker last season. Bucholz should have plenty of speed on the outside to throw to this fall. Potential targets in-clude seniors Ben Waldon, Ma-thias Winkels and Cody Soder-strom. Both offensive and defensive lines should be very strong for the Jackets. Securing the mid-dle will be senior Ben Brill, the team’s center and a defensive lineman. He will be surround-ed on both offense and defense by a pair of big bodies in Andrew Muer and John Lan-glie. Muer, an All-Con-

To say the New York Mills football team has had a pair of frustrating seasons would be a major understatement. Af-ter winning the Section 6A title in 2006, the Eagles won their season opener in 2007. Since then, they have lost 17-straight games, including an 0-9 season last year.

This year, the Eagles bring a young team to the field that hopes to be the foundation to a return to winning ways. New York Mills has only six seniors on this year’s squad, led by running back Jordan Novak. He was a Prairie Conference North All-Conference selection and All-Section in 6A last year. Other seniors include: Jarrod Norton, Ben Jacobson, Ted Rohr. Steve Kasma and Landyn Saewert.

Running the Eagle offense this fall will be junior quarter-back Tanner Wegscheid. He started a pair of games as a sophomore when 2008 gradu-ate Mike Baune was out with injury. Joining Wegscheid and Novak in the backfield will be another talented junior, Erik Tumberg.

Wegscheid will have some targets to throw to downfield, including Norton, a towering tight end, as well as Rohr.

“We have some guys with pretty good speed that we hope to be able to get into the open field and create some plays,” said third year head coach Jon Kotaska.

They will have to improve upon an offense that averaged just eight points a game in 2008 and were shutout three times.

Saewert will anchor both of-fensive and defensive lines for Mills. The Eagles defense will also have their work cut out for

them. They allowed more than 43 points a game last season.

“It will be important for us to improve from practice to prac-tice, and game to game,” Ko-taska said.

Otter Tail Central is the de-fending Prairie North champs, and will be the favorite again this year. The Prairie South will be loaded again this year, with Upsala/Swanville Area, Royal-ton and K-M-S fielding strong

teams. Royalton, USA will be the teams to beat in Section 6A.

Young Eagles hope for improvement

ference se-lection last year, is 6’3” and a very athletic 290

pounds. Langlie comes in at 6’2”, 280 lbs. and is very athlet-ic for his size as well. Another big, athletic lineman returning for the Jackets is sophomore Jesse Hein. Hein (6’0”, 260 lbs.) already has two years of varsity experience under his belt. An-other sophomore who will be a big part of the defense is 6’2”, 220 pound Harvey McMahon.“McMahon hits hard and has a good nose on defense,” Jordahl said. Perham’s biggest challenge, both in the HOL North, and in Section 8AAA will be Thief Riv-er Falls. TRF is new to the HOL North and the Jackets will see them in their second regular season game. Perham will not have a true “non-conference” game. They will take on their six counterparts in the HOL North (Crookston, East Grand Forks, Pequot Lakes, Roseau, Park Rapids, TRF), as well as Pelican Rapids and Warroad from the HOL Classic. Perham and TRF have met in the 8AAA title game four-straight years. TRF won in 2006-07 and the Jackets have won the past two 8AAA titles. “Things are coming together well for us,” Jordahl said. “If we

can stay healthy, I believe we can have a successful season.”Perham opens the season Sept. 4 in Pelican Rapids. After a game in TRF on Sept. 11, they get Crookston on Sept. 18 in their home opener at Mein-hover Field.

It will be a work in progress to replace one of the best quar-terbacks who has donned a Pel-ican Rapids football jersey. With the graduation of three-year starter Tyden Storrusten leaving behind a gaping hole in the Viking offense, it will be up to one of three quarterbacks to lead the Pelican Rapids’ offense — with the Vikings making the last four Section 8-2A champi-onship games, but losing them all to Hawley. “All three guys bring some-thing different to the table,” said Pelican Rapids head coach Dave Haugen. “It will be a situational thing leading up to the season opener. I do prefer to have one guy playing at quarterback.” The three vying for the start-ing snaps this season include juniors Andy Johnson (6-4, 165 pounds) and Brady Morgan (6-1, 190), along with sopho-more Casey Bruggeman (5-11, 150). “All of them have limited ex-perience,” Haugen said. “So we will emphasize our rushing game and try and establish the

run.” That job will come down the offensive line, which has some good sized players and experi-ence back. Senior Lance Erickson (6-1, 250) is a two-year starter at guard. Senior Justin Keller (5-10, 235) and junior Dan Wood (6-5, 225) each will provide size on

the line of scrimmage. The three top Viking rushers have departed to graduation, with McKale Evenson leading the way in 2008 with 696 yards and 11 touchdowns. Senior Dan Ditch (6-1, 185) will see plenty of carries and can be a between-the-tackle runner, as well as the ability to bounce it outside.

If Morgan doesn’t win the quarterback job, he will line up as fullback to provide holes for Ditch, as well as taking on some rushing duties. “Depth at running back is a concern,” Haugen said. To go along with the pos-session style of offense will be possession-like wide receivers in senior Mike Strand (6-1, 175)

and sophomore Luke Halbak-ken (6-5, 175). “We should see some de-cent yards after the catch with our receivers,” Haugen added. But with a load of talent gone from last year’s seniors, the offense maybe a work

in progress throughout the schedule. “By playoff time, we should be pretty com-petitive, but it may take the first playoff

game to get there,” he said. Keller and Erickson will anchor the defensive line for the Vikings, while Morgan will solidify the linebacking corp. Ditch will return in the secondary. “The defense is similar to the of-fense, where it may take some time,” Haugen said. “But we’ll need to control the line of scrimmage. “Overall, these guys have been around a lot of winning and they are expecting it to happen again. They just want their chance to prove it.”
