Quote Me, Howie: Hunters football coach Erik Lofald on his team's undefeated start

Table of Contents

Legendary-eligible Denfeld football coach Erik Lofald on his team's impressive 46-6 win at nonconference Pine City on Friday night, to improve to 3-0:

Lofald

"Nice win on the road! We were able to get a lot of players involved, played disciplined football and represented our community well playing with class and respect. 3-0 starts have been few and far between…first time since 2006 apparently and I can’t help but think back to ‘97 when I was fortunate enough to play on a team that started 3-0!

The kids continue to play extremely hard and their confidence is growing. Really looking forward to playing our rivals across town (vs. Duluth East on Friday night). The old cliche 'throw the records out the window' will be our message leading up to Friday. They’ll have revenge on their mind after last year’s game, which makes them dangerous. But we want another victory this year just as bad…should be a fun night!"
