Source: The Wisconsin State JournalAug.迷你倉價錢 14--The song remains the same in the Southern Badger Conference football race, with Monona Grove being tabbed the unanimous preseason favorite.And why not? After all, the Silver Eagles are 41-5 spanning the last four seasons. That includes four consecutive unbeaten seasons in conference play. MG advanced to the third round of the Division 3 playoffs, last year, falling in a quarterfinal to Northern Badger runner-up Mount Horeb/Barneveld.But MG coach Mike Stassi will have to turn to a potentially formidable defense and a veteran offensive line that includes Wisconsin recruit Jaden Gault to hold off steadily improving Fort Atkinson and perennial strong Madison Edgewood.Monona Grove needed a last-minute defensive stand to win at Fort Atkinson in 2012. But the Blackhawks, who return one of the area's most exciting players in potential NCAA Division I recruit James Nachtigal, will have to win at MG on Sept. 27 to keep their title hopes alive.Among the rest of the league, new coaches in Milton and Stoughton could serve as wild cards. Bill O'Leary, a 1970 Milton graduate, returns to the coaching ranks to turn around the Red Hawks' fortunes after posting a 49-49 mark during a previous nine-year stint at Janesville Craig. Jason Thiry takes over at Stoughton and faces a major rebuilding project on both sides of the ball.-- Dennis SemrauFORT ATKINSONCoach: Steve Mahoney, 13th season (61-58).On offense: The Blackhawks return a trio of all-conference first-team selections in OL Ethan Foerster, WR James Nachtigal and RB Tyler Courtier who, along with RB Tyler Zaspel, are three-year starters. Senior OG Kevin Freel and junior OT Adam Lawrence also return to anchor a solid line. But it is imperative that the versatile Nachtigal, one of the area's best all-around athletes, remains a focal point of the offense. "He'll play running back. He'll play quarterback. He can play anywhere and everywhere that we need him," Mahoney said.On defense: All-conference second-team DL Dion Hupke returns at strong side tackle, along with weak-side tackle Nick Brown, to form a potentially formidable front line in the Blackhawks' 3-4 scheme. Mahoney said he will have an athletic secondary led by Nachtigal and Zaspel at safety and CB Sam Patterson. The linebacking corps will be young but aggressive.The bottom line: "We'll have good team speed. I think we're faster than we were last year on offense and defense. Our skill kids are pretty quick," Mahoney said. "The previous two years, we were 6-2 and 7-2 and some of these kids have been playing since they were sophomores. We want to sustain what we've gotten back to. We've been to the playoffs nine years, hopefully 10 this year."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Austin Armstrong;LB;6-0;185Hunter Brandt;DL;6-0;215Nick Brown;DL;5-9;195Nate Ciske;OL;6-0;195Tyler Courtier;RB;5-9;195Ethan Foerster;OL;6-0;235Kevin Freel;OL;6-5;235Brady Hansen;OLB;5-10;180Addison Harjung;OL;6-3;205Dion Hupke;DL;6-2;260Seth Knox;DL;5-9;300James Nachtigal;WR-DB;6-2;210Sam Patterson;DB;5-11;165Tommy Riggs;QB;6-2;170Nick Simonson;WR-DB;5-11;175Sean Topel;OL-DL;6-2;225Cameron Wolter;WR;6-1;170Tyler Zaspel;RB-DB;6-0;180Juniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Alex Johnson;OL;6-0;250Adam Lawrence;OL;5-10;215MADISON EDGEWOODCoach: Al Minnaert, 22nd season (138-83).On offense: There might be a shortage of numbers in the program, but certainly no lack of talent. The Crusaders welcome back all-conference first-team RB Evan Bondoc (814 yards, 6 TDs), second-team TE Alex Semrow and a trio of honorable mention picks in RB Alan Anderson (479 yards, 3 TDs), QB Bobby Dunn (1,321 yards, 13 TDs passing) and OT Michael Semrow. All-league first-team and All-City PK Jake Dragoo leads the special teams. But the offensive line is in rebuilding mode.On defense: All-conference linebacker A.J. Imholte anchors a unit which returns six starters, including DL Alex Semrow, DL Michael Cleary, LB Ryan Simon and DBs Bondoc, who earned all-league second-team honors, and Trevor Roessler. Dragoo earned honorable mention honors at punter and was a spot starter in the secondary. As is the case on offense, lack of depth is a major concern.The bottom line: Monona Grove may be the team to beat, but Edgewood can't afford to look that far ahead, with crossover games against Badger North powers Waunakee and DeForest to open the season. Minnaert said the 66 players in the entire program is its lowest since 1992. But if the Crusaders can remain relatively healthy in spite of their small roster, they are capable of contending for their first conference title since 2005, along with a return trip to the playoffs -- where they lost in the Division 3 state semifinals in 2011.Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Alan Anderson;RB-DB;5-8;150Blaine Barker;OL-DL;6-0;210Austin Blanchar;WR-LB;5-11;165Evan Bondoc;RB-DB;6-1;200Michael Cleary;OL-DL;6-2;220Devyn Dockery;RB-LB;5-10;185Stephen Dorn;WR-DB;5-10;160Jake Dragoo;WB-DB;5-11;170Bobby Dunn;QB-DB;5-11;190Tom Hellenbrand;RB-LB;5-10;175A.J.

Three-year starting OL Nate Trewyn earned all-league second-team honors and is receiving interest from several colleges. OT Isaac Gunn and C Brian Hare also return to clear the way for RBs Howard Greene and twins Anthany and Zachary Hoard. WRs Devon Higginbothan and Colin Weberpal are burners who will stretch defenses.On defense: The Red Hawks are switching to a 4-4 scheme. The change will cause few adjustment problems, because most of the 2012 unit graduated, including two-time all-state DE A.J. Natter, now at Nebraska. "It's a work in progress," said O'Leary, who added that Trewyn will make an impact there, too. "But we hope to execute with good enthusiasm."The bottom line: "We're looking to run the ball a little more than in the past with a traditional set. We'll be under center a lot more than last year," said O'Leary, who spent nine seasons as head coach at Janesville Craig, making the playoffs seven times. A 1970 Milton grad, he couldn't wait to get started. "It was a very exciting summer," he said. "Our numbers are down, but we will get things going in the right direction and that will change."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Carson Beaty;TE-DE;6-4;215James Christensen;SE-DB;6-2;175Jon Dummer;G-DT;5-10;260Michael Guenther;TE-LB;6-1;210Robert Guenther;TE-LB;6-2;190Isaac Gunn;OL-DL;6-1;270Tyler Hammil;TE-DB;6-3;165Brian Hare;C-DT;6-0;250Andrew Heisz;FB-LB;5-9;195Anthany Hoard;RB-DB;5-11;165Zachary Hoard;RB-DB;5-11;165Spencer Leverence;OT-DE;6-2;190Taylor Snell;RB-LB;6-0;215Dylan Splan;SE-LB;6-0;170Nate Trewyn;T-DT;6-5;270Jared Weberpal;TE-DE;6-1;190Cody Young;迷你倉庫-DT;6-1;240Juniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Howard Greene;RB-LB;5-9;155Tyler Hansing;SE-DB;5-9;160John McCarthy;FB-LB;6-1;155Dakota Moxley;RB-DB;5-8;165Hunter Nelson;T-DE;6-4;265Avery Ousterout;T-DE;6-3;245Colin Weberpal;SE-DB;6-4;170Tyler Westrick;QB-DB;6-0;170MONONA GROVECoach: Mike Stassi, 15th season (119-39).On offense: The Silver Eagles return arguably one of the top lines in the state, with four returnees who earned postseason honors, including all-conference first teamers OT Jaden Gault -- a University of Wisconsin recruit who earned all-state recognition -- and OG Jalen Thomas. C Jacob Decorah was a second-team pick and OG Josh Butteris earned honorable mention. Casey Donahue and Danny Button also have experience. But the bulk of the 2012 team's skill-position players graduated. QB Tyler Blang and RB Brock Offerdahl will lead a youthful group high on potential.On defense: Six starters return, including LBs Offerdahl and Brock Lippiatt and DL Donahue, who all earned all-conference honorable mention recognition. CB Sawyer Livesey will lead the secondary. The 6-7, 300-pound Gault is expected to help on the line at tackle. LB Markus Goff will be hard to replace but the Silver Eagles are poised to reload.The bottom line: Question marks remain on offense that could put MG's four-year league unbeaten streak at risk. But a veteran offensive line and experienced defense, along with all-conference second-team PK Drew Schuchardt, still make the Silver Eagles the team to beat. "Madison Edgewood and Fort Atkinson are always good. Those teams will be solid," Stassi said. "The sleeper team will be Oregon. They are very talented at the skill positions."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Mitch Bernarde;WR-DB;6-2;166Tyler Blang;QB-DB;6-3;180Tommy Brown;WR-DB;6-3;195Josh Butteris;OL-DL;5-7;210Danny Button;OL-DL;5-9;235Jake Decorah;OL-DL;6-3;270Max Ethridge;WR-DB;5-11;175Jaden Gault;OL-DL;6-7;300Dexter Guyette;RB-LB;5-8;185Brock Lippiatt;OL-LB;5-11;205Sawyer Livesey;RB-DB;5-9;155Sean McCosky;OL-DL;6-3;190Brock Offerdahl;RB-LB;5-10;185Jalen Thomas;OL-DL;6-2;195Derek Zenger;RB-LB;5-9;180Juniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Casey Donahue;OL-DL;6-3;255Drew Schuchardt;WR-DL-K;6-3;190MONROECoach: Curt Miller, sixth season (15-30).On offense: WR/P Charlie Kind, TE Noah Thompson and RB Cody Wolf provide the Cheesemakers experience. However, the entire offensive line and starting backfield must be replaced. Miller said spirited competition at quarterback has him considering using multiple starters there. But a killer opening schedule which includes Mount Horeb/Barneveld, Waunakee, DeForest and Monona Grove makes taking care of the ball and time management crucial.On defense: One of the league's top returning playmakers is back in LB Ryan Hughes, a three-year starter who earned all-league first-team honors, along with three-year starting NG Brett Zimmerman and CB Kind. But eight starters have to be replaced. Monroe uses a 33 stack scheme which allows it to be aggressive with its athletes at linebacker. The Cheesemakers will be fast and athletic but a bit undersized on the line.The bottom line: After ending a nine-year playoff drought with its first appearance since 2003, Monroe faces a huge rebuilding project. "We will have to develop a lot of new kids to football quickly in order to be successful," Miller said. But he acquired several new upperclassmen, including three sprinters and a conference champion pole vaulter from the track and field team to add talent and depth at the skill positions."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Troy Gorr;OL-DL;6-1;220Charlie Kind;;WR-DB-P;6-4;180Forrest Klug-Hanson;WR-DB;6-2;165Ryan Hughes;OL-LB;5-6;170Kyle Olson;RB-LB;5-11;190Noah Thompson;TE-DB;6-5;205Brett Zimmerman;OL-DL;5-11;245Juniors;Pos; Ht.;Wt.Cody Wolf;RB-LB;5-6;170OREGONCoach: Dan Kissling, fourth season (4-23).On offense: The Panthers return junior WR Josh Stromovsky, who earned all-conference second team honors, along with starting QB Jack Krueger to run the Wing-T offense. The skill positions show promise, with junior RBs B.J. Bucker and Luke Knipfer expected to contribute heavily. While the overall unit is still young and inexperienced, Oregon has good size up front in John Best, Nick Beino and Jack Maerz. Kissling said keeping the line healthy is a key.On defense: Former Stoughton head coach Sean Stokes has joined the staff as defensive coordinator. He will count on DE Maerz, ILB Matt Sampson and Stromovsky, who also earned all-league honorable mention at CB, to provide stability. But several will have to start on both sides of the ball, which may have an impact on the unit's long-term fortunes.The bottom line: The Panthers haven't been to the playoffs since 2009 or won a conference title since 1990. Despite coming off a winless season, Kissling expects to see continued improvement. "We're talented skill-wise but still a very young team with 11 seniors, only five who saw significant playing time last year," he said. "We're going back to old school. We're going to have a lot of guys going both ways."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.John Best;OL-DL;6-3;240Jack Krueger;QB;6-0;165Jack Maerz;TE-DE;6-3;240Joey Milz;OL-LB;6-1;195Alex Neal;RB-LB;5-9;200;Andrew Nyenhuis;OL-DL;6-5;195;Christian Poe;WR-DB;6-1;160JJ Roger;WR-DB;5-8;135Matt Sampson;RB-LB;5-8;195Jawon Turner;WR-DB;5-8;130Juniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Christian Alcala;RB-DE;5-10;175;Darnell Armour;WR-DB;6-2;150B.J.

OL Jesse Adams, FB Paul Wagner and WRs Cole Spangler and Paul Rosowski to improve upon last year's 14.5 points per game average over the final six games. Thiry has installed a multiple-formation, pro-style offense for a host of new starters. Rosowski will handle the kicking duties after earning honorable mention all-conference honors last season.On defense: The Vikings allowed an average of 28 points spanning a six-game losing streak to end the season. LB Wagner, DL Adams and CBs Lund -- who earned honorable mention all-league honors -- and Spangler return to anchor a 4-3 scheme. Good overall numbers in the program will provide plenty of help.The bottom line: The Vikings have been close to ending a playoff drought that extends to its only postseason trip in 1998. But Thiry, who was 16-13 the past three years at Morton (Ill.) High School, said the Vikings will be rebuilding on both sides of the ball. "We're a little low on seniors but we have good numbers in the underclassmen," he said. "We'll have to take the seniors we've got and hopefully put them in the places where they can help us win."Returning letterwinnersSeniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Jesse Adams;OL-DL;6-6;255Jace Carlson;WR-DB;6-2;160Luke Logan;QB-DB;6-2;175Chris Lund;WR-DB;6-0;190Kyle Patun;OL-DL;6-2;215Braden Poirer;WR-LB;6-0;205Joe Pulley;OL-DL;5-8;200Paul Rosowski;WR-DB-K;6-3;175Cole Spangler;WR-DB;6-3;185Brian Wagner;RB-LB;6-0;220Jayce Yellowbird;WR-LB;6-1;185Will Zeichert;WR-DB;6-1;170Juniors;Pos;Ht.;Wt.Austin Benton;OL-DL;5-9;215Ben Brandt;WR-DL;6-2;225Zach Hasselberger;RB-DB;5-7;155Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Wisconsin State Journal (Madison, Wis.)
