“We had a great day of competition and I was proud of how the guys have prepared themselves this offseason,” said Bengtson. “We are returning some of the top players in the area in Dawson (Brown) and Jason (Dilly).  There are quite a few other guys that have put in the time this offseason to give us a chance to be a good team.  I will be looking to my captains, Dawson (Brown), Erik (Tungland), Austin (Hill) and Jason (Dilly) to lead us.”

 

The boys next take on Anoka and Red Wing on the road today (Saturday). They head to Monticello Tuesday, then Mora Thursday (weather permitting).
