Forest City Indians look to defend NIC title said. “I know I learned something and I think the kids learned something.

We’re all excited about getting started.”

Leading this year’s attack will be senior guard Erich Erdman, a firstteam all-state selection who averaged 26.7 ppg.

Erdman led the team with 118 assists and 49 steals.

And while Erdman is within range of the school’s career scoring record, 600-some points away, Rosacher said, the team’s scoring leader may not need to score a lot of points to help the team be successful because the team has more balance on offense this year.

Other returning starters are Ethan Erdman, Isaiah Loeschen, Jordan True and Mitch Lambert.

Lambert continues to recover from a football injury, but Rosacker said, he will likely return to a starting role when he is cleared to play.

Loeschen, Erich Erdman and True were last year’s leading rebounders with 156, 147 and 135 respectively.

Other athletes that look to contribute to the Indian attack include Jake Parks, Brandon Ferch, Tyler Anderson, Mitch Krein, Dan Happel and Tanner Thompson.

“Our team is blessed with good shooters,” Rosacker said. “That and

FOREST CITY – With all five starters back from a team that was 15-5 one year ago, Forest City High School Boys Basketball Coach Dan Rosacker is well ahead of the earlyseason coaching curve. He said the 2014 season has started with more reviewing than teaching.

“There really hasn’t been a lot of implementation,” he said with a smile; “The kids already know their roles, so we’ve been able to focus on doing things the right way, and playing good defense. A lot of years, you have to wait until you have the offense down to work on defense, so that’s nice.”

The Indians have enjoyed strong success the past three years. The team was 17-6 in 2011-12, 16-7 in 2012-13 and 15-5 last year for a three-year season record of 48-18.

In the two previous years, the Indian season ended with losses to West Fork, who went deep into the state tournament.

Last year, the Indians sputtered in tournament play, falling to conference opponent Osage, a team Forest City defeated twice in regular season play, in the second round of tournament play.

“Sometimes your best learning experiences come from a sting,” Rosacker

Rosacker, who starts his 14th season as the Indians’ head coach, said opponents who bring a lot of size will be a concern for the team. “But, and I know it’s a cliché, I

think we play bigger than we are.”

Rosacker said West Hancock and BelmondKlemme will be teams to watch, along with Garner-HayfieldVentura, along with Lake Mills, who is an established rival.

Scoring no problem for Eagles BOB LINK

Winter Sports Tab 2014‌

BRITT – Defense has been the focus during the first week of boys basketball practice at West Hancock High School.

“Scoring and getting up and down the court are not an issue with us,” said Eagles head coach Brian Peterson. “We need to get better at defense, getting consistent at making stops, and multiple stops is what we’re working on.”

The Eagles lineup will be deep with experience as Peterson welcomes all five of last year’s starters back from a squad that went 13-9 one year ago.

Juniors Connor Sonius and Nate Paulus have started since their freshman year. Seniors Trevor Nalan and Jordon Savoy have started since their sophomore year, while Joey DeHart joined the starting lineup last year.

Paulus and Sonius lead a one-two punch from the front court averaging 15 points each. One year ago the Eagles led the state in three-point field goals.

Paulus was 65 of 206 from behind the stripe while Sonius was 27 of 78.

Sonius also led the team in assists with 141 and had a team leading 53 steals.

Nalan was the team’s top rebounder with 198

– 60 offensively and 138 on the defensive side.

He also averaged double figures, scoring 13 points per game.

“One of the things that really surprised me was that we were eighth in the state in free throws,” said Peterson.

The Eagles were at the line 508 times, making 347 free throws for 68.3 percent. Sonius was at

Peterson said the team is also attempting to establish more depth this year. “We now have seven guys that play pretty consistent,” he said. “I’d like to have nine.”

Other athletes looking to top tier players include Logan Weiland, Rick Ibarra, Colton Ruter,

Vicente Gonzalez and Michael Eekhoff.

Looking at the area, Peterson pointed to Forest City, GarnerHayfield-Ventura and Lake Mills as being very competitive.

FOREST CITY – One year ago the Forest City girls basketball team was in the conference race until they lost the last league game of the season.

This year the Indians want to close the deal and bring home the North Iowa Conference.

“We’re experienced and inexperienced at the same time,” said head coach Dusty Meyn. “We have all of our starters back, but we will have four freshmen that will likely see a lot of playing time.”

The Indians finished the season 11-11 last year.

After a slow start when they lost their first three games and had a record of 3-5 at the Christmas break, the Indians moved their record to 10-8 late in the season, then went 1-3 down the stretch to finish at .500.

“We’re going to play a quicker pace this year,” he said. “Try to get up and down the floor.”

Leading this year’s returning letter winners are Sarri Happel, Rachel Koch and Maggie Mathiasen.

Happel, a junior who was named all conference, finished the season with 334 points, averaging 15.2 points per game. She had 28 steals, 92 rebounds and six blocked shots.

Eagles ready for the next step BOB LINK

Winter Sports 2014‌

BRITT – After two consecutive state basketball tournament appearances and three North Iowa Conference championships, 2013-14 was a rebuilding year for West Hancock. Paul Sonius’ team didn’t have one senior and the young team finished the season with a 6-16 record.

“We basically played two juniors, five sophomores and two freshmen last year,” said Sonius.

“We didn’t have any depth, or experience.”

Now, with a foundation from last season, Sonius is optimistic he can bring back the run-and-gun style that served the team so well in previous years.

“Because we didn’t have any depth last year,” said Sonius. “We weren’t able to do any pressing. But now, I feel we have some depth and pretty good ball handlers, so we can go back to

A total of 23 players turned out for practice this winter, which pleased Sonius. During one recent practice Sonius had the team running full court drill.

Sonius encouraged the experienced players to keep the ball moving and the younger players to stay alert to where the ball was on the court.

Leading this year’s Eagle squad are seniors Bailey Eisenman and Whitney Burgardt. Eisenman led the team with 77 assists last year.

Maria Gonzalez, a

junior, returns as the team’s leading scorer with a 15 ppg and 93 steals.

Emma Chizek, another junior, was the leading rebounder with 174. She was also the team’s second leading scorer with six points per game.

Faith Hammer, a sophomore, led the team with 23 three-point field goals and was second in assists with 36.

Other returning prospects include Emily Leerar, Kealey Johnson, Kaylee Hudspeth, Arely Romero, Cassie Engstler and Anna Chizek.

“We will be alright,” he said. “I think our

confidence level is getting better.”

Sonius said his young squad was close in a lot of games down the stretch last year. “We had a few teams heading into the fourth quarter, but couldn’t make shots down the stretch. So making shots will be something we really work on.”

Sonius was also confident his team would be able to play “in your face defense” attempting to force a lot of turnovers.

“Our first goal is having a winning season,” he said. “Then going after a conference championship.”

New faces in Indian wrestling room BOB LINK

Winter Sports Tab 2014‌

FOREST CITY – One year after advancing two wrestlers to the Iowa State Wrestling Tournament and crowning a state champ, there are a lot of new faces in the Forest City wrestling room. “We have a lot of inexperience,” said Indian coach Steve Staudt. “Our success will depend greatly on how many of the kids are able to step up.”

One year ago Tyler Putney won the 285-pound Class 2A state championship, winning the school’s first individual title since Aaron Sorenson in 2010.

Beau Sorenson also advanced to the state tournament, finishing sixth in the 160-pound weight class.

Putney is gone to play football at the University of Northern Iowa, while Sorenson is back to lead the Indians in his senior year.

With 30 wrestlers out this season, Sorenson is among three wrestlers that Staudt says will be the strongest prospects.

One year ago Sorenson finished the season with a 45-11 record. Alex Paulson, a junior and a 220-pound wrestler had a 37-11 record while Pearce Guilhaus, another junior, finished last season with a 17-8 record.

Guilhaus missed part of the season with appendicitis.

“We had seven seniors last year and they definitely

Staudt said success is not out of reach. “But it will be up to the younger kids to help determine how quickly we can be a threat.”

Looking at North Iowa competition, Staudt

FOREST CITY – Stopping at local practice courts and wrestling rooms is always interesting this time of the season. Seeing different teams at different points of progression is interesting and often telling Sport Link of where the teams will likely be when the season starts to unfold in a couple of weeks.

I visited both the Forest City and West Hancock practice courts this week and am pleased to announce that both teams will be featuring some talented athletes. In the wrestling room, the two most local teams are both inexperienced and trying to find some key individuals to make their teams more competitive.

I’m also reminded of some of the early-season struggles I’ve experienced.

For me, it wasn’t breaking the starting lineup, or competing for a lot of playing time. It was usually a challenge just to make the team.

I wasn’t a very good athlete, too chubby and slow to contribute to the teams that I was trying to make.

I actually won the third period portion of the takedown tournament and advanced to take on the winner of the other PE sections. And much to my satisfaction, I wound up winning the PE takedown tournament title.

Several years later, when I grew up to become the local newspaper’s sports editor, the school started wrestling and the school finished third in the North Dakota State Class B Wrestling Tournament. I also had the privilege of writing the story about the school’s first state individual champ.
