Denfeld football coach Erik Lofald on the upcoming season: "The Hunters are excited for the 2023 season, and the opportunity to improve on last year's 3-6 season. 2022 turned out to be the most successful season for the Hunters since 2018, with big wins against Aitkin and Duluth East. The Hunters return a handful of explosive players, and a plethora of varsity depth from a year ago, including seniors QB Mace Brooks, OL/DL Ben Bandy and RB Dashawn Moore, and juniors WR Taye Manns, LB Cole Abernethy and DL Rajon Gamble."
