Highland Christian Football Preview

Published 11:27 pm Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Last season: 2-3 in league, 4-6 overall

Look ahead: Coming off a third-place finish in the four-team Class 1B (eight-man format) Pacific Coast League, the Knights’ are now led by head coach Pete Miller, the defensive coordinator in 2008. He is dealing with low turnout numbers and a small corps of experienced players.

Returning starters: 2 offense, 3 defense

Impact players: Danny Jahraus, RB/DE, Sr., 6-2, 175; Calvin Wold, OL/LB, Jr., 6-1, 195; Randy Teal, WR/CB, Sr., 6-2, 165; Stephen Myers, DE/RB, Sr., 6-0, 175

Fresh face: Nels Knutson, WR/DB, Soph., 6-0, 160

Coach’s comment: “Our potential really depends on if these guys choose to mesh together as a team and play with enthusiasm. That’s what I’m stressing this year — that more than emotion.”
