Although returning a solid team this year, the Green Devil girls will need to work hard to rise to the top.

“We have a good mix of experience and young unproven talent that are eager to be tested,” said Osage head coach Brent Jennings.

Jennings has been the head coach for 15 years.

Letter winners who will return this season include Whitney Wagner (12), Natalie Gast (12), Laura Klaes (11), Jayme Blaser (11), and Chandler Banta (11).

Last year the Osage team finished second in the North Iowa Conference.

“We have some solid returners from last year that we will be leaning on,” said Jennings. “But we will need some others to compete hard for us in order to finish towards the top of the conference and excel in meets.”

Riceville volleyball hopes to stay competitive in 2012

by Nathan Thompson Press-News Sports The Wildcat girls are hoping to stay competitive with a young team this year.

“All of the underclassmen will need to contribute this year as we are a young team,” said Riceville head coach Robin Kuhn.

Morgan Tetzner and Kallie Green, who was awarded all-conference honorable mention, will be the returning letter winners this year so expect to see younger players such as McKayla Heczko, Abby Dunn, Dakota Dohlman, Courtney McKenna, Brandy Watenphul, Emma Ring, Mady Kuhn, and Ashley and Taylor Uthe to fill important spots on the court.

“We are a very young team with only three seniors and four juniors,” said Kuhn. “We have a great conference with very talented teams, we just hope to stay competitive.”

Osage's boys cross country coach Bill Gruman expects great challenges this season but has high hopes of making it to State.

"With a good focus this year, qualifying for state again as a team is very realistic," said Gruman. "Having several guys with well over 200 summer miles under their shoes is a great start."

This will be Gruman's ninth season as head coach.

Returning to run this year will be Jonah Roggensack (S), Tyler Randall (J), who qualified for the State meet last year, Lucas Maakestad (Soph), and Izak Christensen (J).

One of Osage's 2012 graduates, Isaiah Lancaster, will be running cross country at NIACC this year.

"We had a strong showing in every meet last season and came just seconds from another team trip to the state meet," said Gruman. "The guys did earn a tough North Iowa Conference title and have high expectations again this year."

Ten year head coach for the Saints, Keely Schwiesow, plans to lead her volleyball team through a successful 2012 season.

Players returning to the court include Natalie Halfman (DS, OH), Autumn Brigham (setter), Olivia Bisbee (OH, MH), Katie Beaver (DS), Maaike Hendrikson (MH), and Lindy Mayer (L).

The Saints had a record of 4-24 in the 2011 season.

“After the first week of two-a-days we have paid attention to details with the desire and heart to play competitive with each team we face,” said Schwiesow.

Other players to look for in making the Saint’s season a success will include Michelle Hemann, Mikayla Bruce, Tess Mayer, and Noelle Hulshizer.

St. Ansgar football returns with four all-district players

by Nathan Thompson Press-News Sports The 2011 State Champion Saints will return a solid core group from last year’s team.

have the luxury of being able to grow into their positions.”

Returning letter winners include Skyler Hulshizer (SR OL/DL), Sam Pederson (SR RB/OLB), Damon Dalluge (SR FB/DL), Mitch Henamen (SR TE/DE), Riley Steinberg (SR OL/DL), Brandon Salz (SR WR/CB), Skyler Schuttler (SR FB/ILB), Connor Eustice (SR OL/DL), Jon Schmidt (SR WR/DB),

Green Devils put focus on winning season

By Jeremy Koenigs For the Press-News It was 2009 when the Osage football team went undefeated in the regular season en route to an 11-1 record and a trip to the state quarterfinals.

Despite two more playoff appearances the last two seasons and a .500 winning percentage (4-6 in 2010 and 6-4 last season), the Green Devils are looking to make another deep postseason run this season in Class 2A, District 3.

"It takes everyone working hard in practice every single day," senior linebacker Tyler Havel said. "You just have to stay focused and keep working toward your goal. Everyone out here

7C

2012 OSAGE GREEN DEVIL VARSITYFOOTBALL

has the same goal and we just have to work hard to fulfill that goal."

Fellow senior Jesse Klaes, a lineman, knows that nothing is going to come easy as a new season brings new district foes, including defending Class 3A state champion Union (LaPorte City).

"Everyone has to work their butts off and try their hardest," Klaes said. "As a senior, we know this is our last year, our last chance."

And coach Lon Lawler, who is counting on his seniors to lead the way, has liked what he's seen thus far.

"I'm really proud of our seniors right now heading into their final season," Lawler said. "Over the years, they've made a lot of progress and have really worked hard to improve athletically.

We're looking to have our seniors really form the foundation of our football team. I'm hoping for a great year from those guys."

The defense is led by Havel, who recorded 73 tackles last season to lead the team.

"Our defense is filled with a lot of returning starters from last season," Havel said.

Also back are seniors Dan Church and Colin Barker and junior Casey Ringhofer.

Lawler said his defense will need to hold up physically throughout the season and force turnovers.

"In years past, we've been successful when we force turnovers," Lawler said.

"We've been able to get to the football, knock it loose, or get some interceptions. That's something we've been working on this preseason, creating turnovers."

Church, an all-district selection, will anchor the offensive line along with Klaes while Trevor Haaland returns at

quarterback after throwing for 911 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore.

However, the Green Devils must replace their top two running backs in Luke Hanke and Austin Wagner, who combined for 1,732 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns.

"It's tough to lose seniors off of any team, especially the ones we had last year, but we know we need to step things up," Klaes said. "I feel pretty good with what I've seen. We have a lot of younger guys that are stepping up."

That list includes Barker, Ringhofer and Ryan Woods, another junior, while Havel will be one of Haaland's targets in the passing game.

Lawler said his team will look for ways to get everyone involved.

"Offensively, we're looking to spread the ball around, getting the ball in different players' hands in different ways," the coach said. "I think we have the kids to do that."

"I'm really proud of our seniors right now heading into their final season," Lawler said. "Over the years, they've made a lot of progress and have really worked hard to improve athletically.

We're looking to have our seniors really form the foundation of our football team. I'm hoping for a great year from those guys."

The defense is led by Havel, who recorded 73 tackles last season to lead the team.

"Our defense is filled with a lot of returning starters from last season," Havel said.

Also back are seniors Dan Church and Colin Barker and junior Casey Ringhofer.

Lawler said his defense will need to hold up physically throughout the season and force turnovers.

"In years past, we've been successful when we force turnovers," Lawler said.

"We've been able to get to the football, knock it loose, or get some interceptions. That's something we've been working on this preseason, creating turnovers."

Church, an all-district selection, will anchor the offensive line along with Klaes while Trevor Haaland returns at

quarterback after throwing for 911 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore.

However, the Green Devils must replace their top two running backs in Luke Hanke and Austin Wagner, who combined for 1,732 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns.

"It's tough to lose seniors off of any team, especially the ones we had last year, but we know we need to step things up," Klaes said. "I feel pretty good with what I've seen. We have a lot of younger guys that are stepping up."

That list includes Barker, Ringhofer and Ryan Woods, another junior, while Havel will be one of Haaland's targets in the passing game.

Lawler said his team will look for ways to get everyone involved.

"Offensively, we're looking to spread the ball around, getting the ball in different players' hands in different ways," the coach said. "I think we have the kids to do that."

Osage's boys cross country coach Bill Gruman expects great challenges this season but has high hopes of making it to State.

"With a good focus this year, qualifying for state again as a team is very realistic," said Gruman. "Having several guys with well over 200 summer miles under their shoes is a great start."

This will be Gruman's ninth season as head coach.

Returning to run this year will be Jonah Roggensack (S), Tyler Randall (J), who qualified for the State meet last year, Lucas Maakestad (Soph), and Izak Christensen (J).

One of Osage's 2012 graduates, Isaiah Lancaster, will be running cross country at NIACC this year.

"We had a strong showing in every meet last season and came just seconds from another team trip to the state meet," said Gruman. "The guys did earn a tough North Iowa Conference title and have high expectations again this year."

Although returning a solid team this year, the Green Devil girls will need to work hard to rise to the top.

“We have a good mix of experience and young unproven talent that are eager to be tested,” said Osage head coach Brent Jennings.

Jennings has been the head coach for 15 years.

Letter winners who will return this season include Whitney Wagner (12), Natalie Gast (12), Laura Klaes (11), Jayme Blaser (11), and Chandler Banta (11).

Last year the Osage team finished second in the North Iowa Conference.

“We have some solid returners from last year that we will be leaning on,” said Jennings. “But we will need some others to compete hard for us in order to finish towards the top of the conference and excel in meets.”

“We are a very young team with only three seniors and four juniors,” said Kuhn. “We have a great conference with very talented teams, we just hope to stay competitive.”
