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."

Howie: Bulldogs, Viktor Plante, Mirage, Jason Watt

There’s something quietly magnetic about Jason Watt on a Bulldogs hockey broadcast. He’s not trying to sound like anyone else. He doesn’t force energy or jargon. He just explains the game — clearly, comfortably, and with the kind of authenticity that comes only from having lived it.

Howie: C.J. Ham’s clock is ticking

The likeliest play is a polite handshake extension — one year, maybe two, at something closer to $2 million per. A team-friendly, locker-room-cred deal.
