Owatonna to Tangle with Top-Rated Team in MN

The Owatonna High School football team plays at Mankato West Friday night, September 17. The Huskies are 1-1. The Scarlets are 2-0 after a pair of dominating wins and are top-rated in Class 5A. The game will be heard on AM 1390 KRFO / 94.7 FM, plus on the app and here on the website.

OHS coach Jeff Williams addressed the challenge ahead on last weekend's High School Coaches Show, "They just don't have a lot of gaps in their lineup, a lot of weaknesses. I think their No. 1 rating is well-deserved at this time of the year. They've got a lot of kids back from last year's squad, which was a very fine football team."

"Mekhi Collins (6-foot-5) plays wide out and corner for them. He's going to go to NDSU, and was offered by Iowa State...Their quarterback Zander Dittbenner is a marvelous quarterback. He's got a strong arm. He can do it with his feet as well. Their line, basically all returns. Their linebacker Ryan Haley has been offered by the University of St. Thomas."

Williams adds, "This is going to be a real stern test for us, to see how far we've come in the last couple of weeks." Williams points out that Owatonna moved the ball well against some of the upper level Class 6A teams at the preseason scrimmage, when the team was healthy. Owatonna was missing a few players in their win over Century last Friday.
