Vikings starting over at QB...once again

Newly-signed free agent wide receiver Michael Jenkins reaches high for a completion during the Vikings’ training camp in Mankato.

To say last year was a disaster for the Minnesota Vikings is certainly an understatement.

What started out as Super Bowl aspirations, turned out to be a three-ring circus resulting in a 6-10 record.

But one good thing about the NFL is the fact there is a new season every year — although not quite guaranteed as the lockout almost wiped out America’s favorite past time.

So the 2010 season can be looked upon as water under the bridge, along with several of the main forces who made it into the Vikings first losing season in quite some time.

Those who pass under that bridge and into Viking history include lead ringmaster head coach Brad Childress, who was fired just past midway through the season and replaced by current head coach Leslie Frazier.

The preseason carnival of wooing now-retired Brett Favre is also a history notation.

The Vikings finally addressed their quarterback situation for the future by selecting Florida State’s Christian Ponder. But even that selection was tainted a little by the offseason-long NFL lockout, which forced the Vikings to

with Brian Wierima go out and get a more reliable veteran QB in Donovan McNabb, because there would be no way a rookie quarterback could take over the reins in a matter of weeks to prepare.

But other than the acquisition of McNabb, the Vikings’ offseason additions have been underwhelming.

Just recently, another hole was created with the dismissal of 10-year left tackle starter Bryant McKinnie.

Man, what a disappointing finish to McKinnie’s Viking career, as the already mammoth tackle from the University of Miami came into camp a bit bloated — as in nearly 400-pounds of bloat.

McKinnie’s “don’t give a damn” attitude must have been practiced to the fullest extent during the lockout.

Even his cholesterol was off the charts, marking him to be a danger of tipping over

dead on the Mankato practice field — and all this coming on the 10th anniversary of Korey Stringer’s death at training camp.

Unfortunately McKinnie came to the Vikings after the tragic death of Stringer, which was marked by the team during this year’s training camp.

The big-eating, club-going McKinnie could have learned something from Stringer on how to be a real professional.

But in the end, McKinnie’s career was marked by mediocrity and his legacy will be that of blown potential.

McKinnie has lately had a shot of motivation, being signed by Baltimore. But as the Ravens will find out, a few weeks into the season and when McKinnie is IN THE once again ZONE complacent, TO PAGE 3 quarterback

IN THE ZONE

Joe Flacco will be feeling the FROM hits from dePAGE 2 fensive linemen firsthand.

Even technology has been against McKinnie, as his Twitter account backfired on him.

Some frustrated Twits were directed towards McKinnie since his release Tuesday, some actually pretty funny.

One Twit stated, “Apparently, Leslie Frazier was worried about the bridges in Minnesota being able to hold #BryantMcKinnie.”

Another thanked McKinnie “…for going to #TacoBell w/me 2night. I never thought about wrapping a chalupa in a quesadilla in a Mexican pizza b4.”

The signing of Colts’ left tackle Charlie Johnson, who has been guarding Peyton Manning’s blindside for the last 49 games, was made and after three preseason games, is looking better and better.

Johnson didn’t allow Dallas Cowboy sackmaster Demarcus Ware gain any sacks, while McNabb was touched only once.

Another big loss came with Seattle signing wide receiver Sydney Rice, who signed a five-year $41 million contract, with $18 million guaranteed.

That’s quite a lot of guaranteed money for a player who has only been able to complete one full season out of four, but make no doubt about it, Rice is a top ball catcher.

With the Vikings not dipping into the quality end of the wide receiver free agency pool, there is quite a void on the edges.

Minnesota did sign the Bears’ fourth wide receiver Devin Aromashodu and Falcon reject Michael Jenkins.

So far, that leaves underachieving Bernard Berrian and Jenkins at the starting wideout positions, with the talented Percy Harvin in the slot and two solid tight ends in Visanthe Shiancoe and rookie Kyle Rudolph.

McNabb is used to not having quality weapons down the field, so if the Vikings stay pat and not sign San Diego’s Malcolm Floyd or the Jets’ Braylon Edwards, he will be working the middle quite a bit

with Harvin and his two tight ends.

But McNabb’s job will be to find those receivers, who need to create separation. Oh, yeah, and hand it off to All-World Adrian Peterson, who maybe seeing his carries increase quite a bit this year.

The offensive look will be a much more conservative one, with McNabb hitting the short to intermediate passes, while feeding off of play action, created by Peterson’s gains.

It worked to perfection versus Dallas in the third preseason game, after five straight runs by Peterson netted just over 30 yards, a play action by McNabb freed up a streaking Berrian.

McNabb, who is known for his deep ball, hit Berrian in stride for the long touchdown.

If this season is going to have any success, it will be plays

like that which will keep the Vikes in games.

The defensive line wasn’t addressed as much as it should have, either.

Thus far, the Vikes have opted not to resign nose tackle Pat Williams, instead going with the Saints’ Remi Ayodele, who goes 6-2, 318 pounds.

Not a bad exchange, since Williams, along with Kevin

3 was released after an inglorious stint as a Viking.

That leaves disappointing Tyrell Johnson and unknown quantity Husain Abdullah as the last line of defense. Johnson has looked better, along with Jamarca Sanford, but the secondary still is a big weakness of the defense.

Expectations are definitely tapered, as they should be.

“The offensive look will be a much more conservative one...”

Training Camp Views

Williams, will probably be suspended for the first two games. Although Kevin Williams has not heard about any suspension, as of yet.

But another DT should have been signed and not retread Fred Evans.

One glaring need, though, is at safety. Madieu Williams

Linebacker Chad Greenway was stated as saying the Vikings can go .500 or better.

Quite the difference from a year ago, but at the very least, this training camp does provide hope for the future with a potential franchise quarterback in Ponder and a levelheaded head coach in Frazier.

ence and by the last half of the season, we’ll be ready to roll,” Rader said. “I think by the time playoffs come along, we should have a good shot.”

The Hornets do have four senior captains returning, all who started on last year’s team, who include Dan Janu, Rij Koehnen, Cody Piper and Rick Brandt.

Frazee has four additional seniors in John Sandberg, Dakota Zick, Tyler Hansen and Jake Galbrecht.

The entire offensive line was a part of the 2010 senior class, so there are plenty of holes to fill up front.

Junior Brett Gildersleeve will anchor the line at center, along with Brandt at one of

the tackle positions.

There will be up to six or seven other Hornets competing for playing time for the rest of the positions, so depth is strong across the line.

“We have plenty of 200-plus pound linemen, who are tough,” Rader said. “They are younger kids, but they are working their butts off to get better.”

Junior Baxter Bachmann is back at quarterback, after starting as a sophomore. Janu will also take some snaps, as well.

“Baxter is more of a rushing quarterback, but he is getting better with his passing,” Rader included. “He’s a really slippery runner with decent speed.”

The Hornets will need to replace the majority of their rushing yards from last year, with Piper bringing back the most experience at running back.

“He can run between the tackles and his vision is very good when he hits the perimeter, as well,” Rader said of Piper.”

Koehnen will also see some rushes from his wing position, while three to four other players will be vying for carries, as well.

Janu will be a big target for Bachmann, especially in the

red zone, where the tall tight end will have the height advantage over the majority of the defensive backfield.

Other receivers include juniors Zach Nelson, Tyler Ziegler and Cody Nordquist.

“We’ll be more balanced than the last two years with a little more passing,” Rader said.

Sandberg (defensive line), Brandt (linebacker) and Piper (defensive backfield) will be keys to the Frazee defense, along with Koehnen, who returns to his cornerback position.

“Our defense will be physical, although we’re not as big, we are faster,” Rader added.

“Overall, the team speed is better.”

The Section 8-2A will be as competitive as it has been in quite sometime, with Barnesville coming in, along with Hawley and Pelican Rapids being traditional powers.

Head coach Peder Naatz on the line, no crazy backs who will put up 3,000 rushing yards, but we will be a multifaceted team.”

A big change from the four straight years of making the Class 2A state semifinals, will be that games will be closer.

That’s due to the fact that Hawley moved to the competitive Heart O’Lakes Conference Classic.

“It will be much more different, there might not be

there will be an open competition for the last defensive end position.

With a good defensive line in front of them, the linebacking group can roam a little more and find the holes developing for opposing running backs.

Clogging the lanes and patrolling the edges will be seniors Riley Burns and Patrick Arens , who each have solid lateral speed, with the for-

player to depend on, it’ll be a team effort,” the Hawley coach said of his offensive output.

“But overall, our goals will stay the same and we’ll go out and play Hawley football.”

mer entering his third year as starter.

“I’m pleased with our size on defense, because our guys spent a lot of time working on that during the offseason,” Naatz said.

The offensive line will once again dictate how the rushing game will go and there are some gaps to be filled yet.

Violet has the lone position nailed down, with a host of other linemen vying for playing time.

Senior Keifer Hinrichs and junior Hunter Lawson will each see time at quarterback, with several other younger arms fighting for playing time, who can all throw well and rush the ball.

There will be some new looks in the backfield, with Arens, Burns, senior Nick Bjorndahl and senior Brady Pekas all seeing time carrying the ball.

“Arens is a straight-ahead type of runner and the rest have good speed,” Naatz said.

“Overall, our speed is up a little and we are more athletic.”

Junior Josh Johnson will be a good target from his tight end position, while Devon Pekas will see some balls come his way through the air.

NUGGETS

Although the Hawley Nuggets have lost some big producers over the course of the last few years, the 2011 season will feature a complete package and make no qualms about it, the goals are the same.

“Nothing has changed, we are still expecting to challenge for the conference and then move on and challenge for the section,” said Hawley head coach Peder Naatz. “Yeah, we don’t have any massive kids

those games where we have to slow down after halftime because of a lop-sided score,” Naatz said. “But for the coaching staff, it will be fun going against teams who are bigger and better. I also believe that will help us prepare for the playoffs better, as well.”

The Nuggets will still rely on their normal tough defense, which will be led by its stringent line.

Returning on the D-line includes senior Cassidy Violet, junior Devon Pekas and senior Isaac Kelly. Naatz said

be solid, with the return of junior Matt Pepper, senior Jordan Lange and senior Bryce Bartunek.

“The team will be a bit more dynamic than it was a year ago,” Swegarden noted.

The defense will also bring back a load of experience, including Pepper at middle linebacker and Wixo anchoring the defensive backfield. Bartunek will also man the defensive end position, making it tough to run the edges.

“We played well at times last season, but the defense needs to be more consistent and aggressive this year,” Swegarden said.

With nine starters back, expectations are elevated, but there still needs to be hard work put out by the Raiders.

They will have to do it in one of the toughest sections in Section 6-1A, which includes Mahnomen, Pillager, West Central, Ottertail Central and Browerville.

“No matter what seed you have, it’s going to be against a team who has traditionally been tough,” Swegarden said.

“It will be important to jockey yourself to get a home playoff game, just to get a little edge.”

LAKE PARK/AUDUBON

When a team starts a bunch of young players, eventually those youngsters become seasoned veterans.

That’s the route the Lake Park-Audubon Raiders took last year, with only three seniors on the roster. But those dividends of playing those inexperienced players will be paying off for the 2011 season.

“We’ll have the same kids from last year, only a year older,” said LP-A head coach Jed Swegarden. “They are talented, now they just have to step it up.”

Speed will be the Raider’s most vital weapon, with a trio of running backs possessing it, including junior Nate Renner, seniors Chase Zeller and Wy-

att Wixo.

“They are super athletes and fast,” Swegarden added.

“The running backs won’t be utilized as much in the passing game, though, because we do have some pretty good wide receivers, too. We’ll keep the backs in to protect the quarterback.”

Sophomore Mason Swegarden will be taking the snaps for the Raiders under center, which allows the move of Wixo to running back, where he can be more of a threat.

“Our QB’s are asked to distribute the ball to our playmakers,” coach Swegarden said. “Mason is knowledgeable about the game, which being a coaches’ kid helps. I feel comfortable with Mason at QB.” The offensive line will also

Mahnomen hoping for repeat title run

BY BRIAN WIERIMA

brianw@dlnewspapers.com

There will be a new Section 8-1A champion this coming season and it’s not because the defending champs Mahnomen isn’t up to the task of repeating.

Far from it, in fact, but the Indians will be vying for another section championship this year, after being moved to the tough and rugged Section 6-1A. “It’s going to be a very tough section to get out of,” said Mahnomen head coach John Clark Jr. “But the expectations at Mahnomen are always elevated because of the tradition.”

That tradition was added on last year, when the Indians made their 19th state tournament, before losing to Barnesville in the quarterfinals.

Now, the Indians will have

Clark said. “We will be able to spread it around and throw a little more.”

Mahnomen has two solid options at quarterback to replace departed Dylan Stevens.

Junior Jacob Pavek is a lanky lefty, who has some good zip on his ball and junior Garret Hoffner possesses the running ability.

A third option at QB is sophomore Trevor Haugo, who Clark describes as “a tremendous athlete, who’s raw, by talented.”

LaVoy’s yards from last year will probably be split up a little, between senior fullback Avery Fairbanks and wingbacks senior Mitch Kochmann, Hoffner and sophomore Tristan Bjerke.

“Avery doesn’t have blazing speed, but he is tough and does the dirty work,” Clark said. “Our wings have good quickness and decent speed. It

to get past the likes of traditional football powers of Pillager, West Central, Browerville, Ottertail Central and Lake Park-Audubon — which all reside in Section 6-1A. Mahnomen will have to reload, though, after losing the bulk of their offense with running back Alex LaVoy graduating with his 1,731 rushing yards. He also was the anchor on defense at linebacker.

But as per the usual, the Indians have those bullets to reload for another potential state run.

“We’re going to have to experiment a little to see what we’re best at, but I think we’ll be more versatile this year,”

will be a chain-moving type of offense.”

Senior Lucas Littlewolf will return as one of the area’s top tight ends, along with Haugo.

Targets will include senior Zach Polaschek, junior Jason Schoenborn and Patrick Porter.

“They all have sure hands,” Clark said of his receiving corp.

The unit which drove the Indians down the field last year will need to be replaced, with only one offensive lineman back in sophomore Kal Handyside.

There will be some switching going on to fill the offensive line with solid athletes

BOB LARSON

in senior Aaron Vipond, who moves from RB to guard and senior Lucas Littlewolf.

At tackle, Handyside will see time, along with junior Jake Hedstrom and junior Nick Otto will fill the center position.

“We’ll mix it up a little on the line, yet, but we will not be able to go out and just pound like we did last year,” Clark said. “We have athletes on the line who are able to pull, along with some boot action.”

Much like last season, the defense will be key for the Indians and there shouldn’t be much of a dropoff, despite losing their leader in LaVoy. The defense will employ a tough and athletic look, which follows the tradition of Mahnomen football.

“We have enough experience back, too, so we should be pretty decent on that side of the ball,” Clark said.

Hedstrom will anchor the line at tackle, along with Handyside at the other inside position.

The end positions will be filled by Littlewolf and Pavek, who both started last year.

The UlenHitterdal Spartans will be keyed by their 11 seniors this coming season.

Spartans to have host of experience in 2011 season There will be 11 seniors to lead the potent Ulen-Hitterdal Spartans into the 2011 season, which makes them a contender by the time the playoffs come rolling around.

The Spartans will be tested early, too, and will know where they stand when they host nine-man power StephenArgyle in the season opener Thursday, Sept. 1.

But no matter how that contest turns out, Ulen-Hitterdal brings back a bevy of talent and experience, which will make them a dangerous team nonetheless.

“We’re going to be relying on those 11 seniors,” said U-H head coach Dustin Flaten.

“Our expectations will be that we are right up there in the

conference and the section.”

The offensive line will set the pace for the Spartans, with eight players being able to play any of the positions.

Those include seniors Travis McCollum, Jerrell Green, Troy Peterson (tight end) and junior Jacob Brooks.

The majority is big, as well, going 215-plus pounds.

“They are good at their rush blocking, so we’ll be able to pound the ball,” Flaten included.

Benefiting from the stout Oline will be the deep running back corp., which includes seniors Calvin Oberg, Nolan Briard, Green and Joe Iverson.

“Kelvin will be our fullback, who has good speed and is just an amazing blocker,” Flaten said. “Briard will be our go-to guy, who has good vision and is able to make the cut.”

dustin flaten HEAD COACH

mark hemberger ASSISTANT COACH

Junior Landon Schultz was the Spartan’s starter at quarterback in 2010 and returns, bringing a good arm in the passing game and is a smart, knowledgeable signal caller.

His targets will include Peterson, who will have good range at tight end, Briard and Green.

“We won’t be the flashiest offense, but I’m expecting big things,” Flaten said.

The defense should be fresh through the season, with up to eight players shuffling through the defensive line, ulen with up to 13 to PAGE 13 players filling

Waubun has old faces in new places

BY BRIAN WIERIMA

brianw@dlnewspapers.com

For well over 30-plus years, John “Bomber” Clark was the head man on the sidelines during Waubun football games.

This season, it’s round two for the Bombers to be led by a Clark — just not John.

John’s son, Paul, was hired on by Waubun in late July to take over the head coaching position for the Bombers, but dad isn’t in retirement anymore, either.

Paul brought John “Bomb-

er” Clark back to be the defensive coordinator and with how young the Bombers are this season, plenty of coaching will be needed.

“We are very young with only three seniors out,” Paul Clark said. “But the team is picking up my concepts.”

The Bombers will be a mystery coming into the season with plenty of new players at new positions. But Clark believes it can be a team which progresses well through the season.

Senior running back Sam Lerud is back and will be the

core players this season after a solid junior campaign in the backfield.

“He will be everything for us,” Clark said.

At quarterback, junior Ryan McArthur will take the snaps, while senior Alex Kent will anchor both lines.

“Alex is a big boy and will be a vital player on the offensive line,” Clark said. “(Junior) Drake Kier is also a nice surprise for us on the line.”

With Joe Tieken added to the line, the Bombers will have plenty of good size in

front of Lerud.

That will be crucial, since Clark is installing a run-heavy offense.

“We’ll be a rushing team with some play action,” the Bomber coach said.

Paul Clark was the head coach in Warroad for the past three years, but was let go this past summer. Fortunately, for him, the Waubun head coaching job opened when Jason McCloskey left the position.

“Nine man football is new to me, but I’m learning in each practice,” Clark said. “I bleed Bomber Blue, so I’m lucky to be here. Having (John Clark) on staff gives us instant credibility, since he knows every-

New York Mills football building for more wins

Head Coach Mike Jordahl enters his second season at the helm of the Perham football team coming off a disappointing 2-7 season and a playoff demon no team wants to wait nine months to exorcise.

Down 20-14 late in the game, Jordan Hein, then a sophomore, led a 13-play drive from his own 36 yard line, in driving rain, to inches from the Thief River Falls goal line with under 90 seconds remaining. A fumble at the goal line ended the Yellowjackets season and spoiled the upset.

“The key to the season will be depending on our defense, scoring points and using our experience from last year to make us mesh as a team,” Jordahl said.

Hein and Gabe Pankonin rotated quarterback duties until midway through the season when an injury to Pankonin gave full-time duties to Hein.

Hein gets the nod at quarterback to start this season with senior Pankonin lining up as one of the main options in the backfield with Mike Wiskow, also a senior.

Wiskow had his biggest game of the 2010 campaign in the playoff loss to Thief River Falls rushing for 135 yards.

The trio gives the Yellowjackets experience at the skill positions under and behind center. Hein’s versatility will allow Perham to use all parts of the field in the shotgun option offense.

Hein will have four senior wideouts to throw to: Chris Ruther, Matt Shipman, Dillon Shields and Andre Moberg.

Junior Eric Brauch was a key

underclassmen at wide receiver last season and will be another important target.

Points were at a premium last season and to string victories together the Yellowjackets will simply have to put more points on the scoreboard.

“We need to score more than last year,” Jordahl said.

Perham was outscored 203133 and averaged nearly eight points less per game than their opponents. (22.4 to 14.8 per game) Nearly a third of Perham’s season point total came in a 4620 blowout of Roseau in week seven. Perham’s only other victory was a 12-6 overtime squeaker over winless Park Rapids Area in week two.

Roseau departed the North Heart O’ Lakes Conference in the offseason for the Heart O’ Lakes Classic Conference and was replaced by Section 7, Class 4A powerhouse De-

Since 1992, Detroit Lakes has four state football titles (1992, 1993, 1995 and 2001) and will feature standout quarterback 6-foot-4 senior Joe Mollberg, who passed and rushed for over 1,000 yards last season.

The Yellowjackets face the Lakers Friday, Oct. 14, in Detroit Lakes. The two teams also got a look at each other at the last preseason scrimmage Saturday, Aug. 27.

Pillager moved to the North Star Conference and Parkers Prairie dropped to nine-man.

According to Radniecki, when he started coaching nearly 20 years ago, NY Mills used to be the second largest school in the conference. The Eagles now find themselves the second smallest school.

NY Mills moves from the Prairie Conference – North to the South division. They will play five conference games versus Ottertail Central, Browerville, Kerkoven-Murdock-Sunburg, Royalton and West Central Area and three cross-conference games.

The Eagles open the season with two cross-conference games against Upsala/Swanville Area and Osakis, both at home, before getting into the meat of their conference schedule. They finish the season with a tall task on the road at last year’s Class 1A runners-up Barnesville.

Concerning the realignment, Radniecki noted the potential for some good natural rivalries.

Rebuilding will continue in New York Mills with players getting a second straight year under Radniecki and a growing familiarity with his schemes on both sides of the ball.

“I’ve got a better feel for our talent and the players are more familiar with what we are going to do scheme-wise.”

Radniecki brings a positive attitude to a program that has had a string of less than stellar seasons.

“I’m just lucky to be able to coach. Having fun is what high school sports are all about and hopefully, we can accomplish that again this year.”

Two victories in the past four seasons have the New York Mills Eagles football team looking to reverse that trend.

The Eagles were 1-7 overall last season.

“We want to be more competitive,” Head Coach Matt Radniecki said.

Radniecki, in his third stint as coach for the Eagles, has the numbers this year with six more kids out than last season totaling 45 gridders, 26 being from the freshman and sophomore classes.

The program hit a low in 2009 with only 28 players suited up.

“Football is a numbers game, so we’re happy with that,” Radniecki said. “We’ll have a better team, but we will start a lot of sophomores and we can’t afford any injuries at key positions.”

Radniecki coached NY Mills from 1989-1998 and returned for the 2002-2006 seasons, before firing up again last season. He led the Eagles to their only state tournament berth in 2006.

J.J. Weller and Bryan Dunrud also return as assistant coaches.

The majority of offensive threats will be replaced from last year’s team.

Junior Charlie Peeters takes over for graduated senior Tanner Wegscheid at quarterback. Peeters saw action last season but this will be his first full season under center.

Shane Novak, who broke bones in his wrist during preseason last year, as a sophomore, will handle the ball at tailback with Tyler Patron filling fullback duties.

Patron has to ability to pick up necessary yards in short yardage situations. Novak, if he can get to the second level, has the speed to break big runs.

Peeters will look to throw the ball to Taylor Ericksrud at wide receiver and has some size at tight end in the form of Noah Pesola. Pesola’s height should prove valuable in the Eagles’ passing game.

Of the eight games played last season, the Eagles were in half of them, but suffered four blowouts.

“Our schedule got more difficult this year. We want to avoid those blowouts.”

A realignment of the Prairie Conference, creating two divisions, one comprised of smaller schools and the other larger schools has added more competition from districts with larger class sizes and removed two schools, Parkers Prairie and Pillager, schools that compare more in size with NY Mills.

“Our team’s leadership is cohesiveness and working together,” Jordahl said. “They all know who the leaders are.”

On defense, the Yellowjackets will run a base 5-2 formation with a 3-5-3 look depending on game situations.

“We have good experience coming back on our D-line and in the defensive backfield with a young, but hopeful linebacking corps,” Jordahl said.

Detroit Lakes will factor in as the team to beat. The Lakers were 7-3 last season, as an independent in search of a conference. The Lakers played a schedule that featured four games against North Dakota schools.

Perham opens the season with a bang against loathed rival Pelican Rapids at Meinhover field in Perham Friday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m.

The Vikings held Perham to less than 100 yards in last season’s opener drubbing the Yellowjackets 31-7.

A start to ridding the Yellowjackets of last year’s sting is a vengeful victory over Pelican Rapids in week one.

Lakers move to new conference, section

BY BRIAN WIERIMA

brianw@dlnewspapers.com

There is plenty of change heading the way of the Detroit Lakes football team, which will bring new challenges and obstacles, but also a nice refreshing look to the season.

But the Lakers will be facing these new challenges with a solid, all-around good team.

“Our goal is to be good by playoff time and we have a great bunch of kids to work with this season,” said DL head coach Flint Motschenbacher. “They have put themselves in a position to be successful and they are a good example to the younger kids.

“But now, they need to get it done on the field.”

The changes mostly come with DL’s opponents, since they will open their new Heart O’Lakes Conference schedule, as well as play in a new section.

The Lakers’ travel schedule has gone down dramatically, changing from road trips to Duluth to away games to East Grand Forks, Pequot Lakes and Park Rapids.

The HOL North Conference contains DL, Thief River Falls, Perham, Staples-Motley, Park Rapids, Crookston and East Grand Forks.

“We are excited to being part of the HOL North,” Motschenbacher said. “It limits our travel and it will be a

very good, competitive conference.”

The Lakers also have been moved from Section 8-4A to Section 7-4A, which includes Bemidji, Duluth Denfeld, Grand Rapids, Hermantown and Hibbing.

Bemidji has won the section the last three years and brings back a heavy contingent of experience.

“It’s not as deep as Section 8-4A, but the section will be very good nonetheless,” Motschenbacher stated.

The Lakers enter 2011 with one of the sought after quarterbacks in the state in senior Joe Mollberg.

T h e offense will be 20 built around from PAGE Mollberg’s talents, which will be more explosive and more wide open to put pressure on defenses.

Mollberg has some serious threats down the field in senior Brian Labat, who can act as a big time receiver split wide or a rusher at running back.

Senior Rick Hutchinson will also be legitimate threat on the outside, with steady hands and high athletic ability for yards after the catch.

“We are expecting big things out of these guys,” Motschenbacher said. “Brian is very versatile, he’s a playmaker.”

Junior Kirk McLeod will also see time split out wide and will be a reliable target from Mollberg’s arm.

The Lakers can also hit a defense up front with sophomore fullback Michael Herzog, who possesses “tremendous speed”.

The slots are also a weapon to be used in the offense, which includes juniors Taylor Magnuson, Stephen Erb and Labat.

“Our team speed should be improved from the last several years, as well,” Motschenbacher said.

The offensive line returns only one in senior Josh Olson, who will anchor the unit.

Depth is good, but experience is thin.

“We have nine kids there who are fighting for spots, but we need a couple of them to step it up,” Motschenbacher said. “We have a good mix of size on the line, we just want a few to step up and win those positions.”

Motschenbacher hopes to see an improved defense this season, with experience pretty shallow, as well.

Senior David Perry is the lone defensive lineman back at end, while Labat has been moved from linebacker to

Vikings looking for repeat state trip

BY BRIAN WIERIMA

brianw@dlnewspapers.com

The 2010 journey to the Class 2A state playoffs will pay off in dividends for the 2011 version of the Pelican Rapids Vikings.

The Vikings (7-5 last year) claimed the 8-2A championship, before falling to Ottertail Central in the state quarterfinals.

But a good majority of this year’s Vikings are back on the field and had that state taste, so they are not going to want to give the section title back to anyone.

“Last year’s team surprised a lot of people when it came together in the post season and we earned the section championship,” said Pelican Rapids head coach Dave Haugen. “This is a team which has the potential to be back in the championship game again this year and is definitely a goal.”

There will be 24 returning letterwinners from last year’s team, including five offensive starters and six defensive starters.

The skill positions have a good amount of experience returning, including junior quarterback Devin Schell, who took over the position from senior Casey Bruggeman, who was injured during the season.

Schell is a good athlete with the ability to run, as well getting comfortable throwing the ball out of the pocket.

“The experience Devin gained should help become more comfortable in the position this year,” Haugen said.

Bruggeman will still be a vital component of the offense and defense at running back and strong safety.

“Casey is one of the best strong safeties who has ever played at Pelican Rapids and will be a key to our success defensively,” Haugen said. “After playing QB for most of the

last year, he will get moved around quite a bit this year and will be versatile.”

The Vikings’ linebacking corp. will be anchored by senior Luke Halbakken and junior Tucker Forsgren on the outside.

Halbakken led the team with four blocked kicks last year, while Forsgren was the sack leader with six.

“Luke is an excellent defensive player who was second on the team in sacks and in tackles for loss,” the Pelican Rapids coach said. “Tucker worked very hard in the offseason to become bigger and stronger. Look for him to be a real impact player on both sides of the ball.”

The duo also will be reliable targets at split end for Schell.

Having a consistent kicker is also a rare weapon to have and the Vikings have just that in senior Cris Molina, who was 22-26 on extra point kicks in 2010 and 7-8 on field goals, with a long of 35 yards.

“Molina makes us a threat to score every time we’re inside the opponents’ 30-yardline,” Haugen stated.

The offensive line will still have four new starters, so adjustments will be made early, while depth is still a concern in the interior of the defense.

Haugen is also hoping big things from fullback/linebacker Tanner Grahn and center/linebacker Marshall Ohe. The Heart O’Lakes Conference did lose West Central and Wadena-Deer Creek, while gaining Hawley and Roseau.
