He believes he has improved a lot and is proud of the progress he has made throughout the year.The coaching staff has also played an important role in the team’s success, helping keep players prepared and focused. Outside the field, the student section has brought energy to game nights and given the Huskies plenty of support throughout the season.For the seniors, this season means even more as they get closer to the end of their high school football careers.

Their strong defense, connected offense, experienced coaching staff and loyal student support have helped them reach this point. Now, Owatonna will look to carry that momentum into the playoffs and make the most of the opportunity ahead.</div></body>
