A year ago the Perham Yellowjackets advanced to the state quarterfinals as Section 8AAA champions.  They return six starters from that team.

Seniors Noah Rooney (WR) and Finn Diggins (WR), and juniors Colton Hackel (QB), Chaz Melvin (WR), Reese Wilprecht (OL) and Rian Solberg (OL) are all back from last season.

“This is a good group of guys,” said Head Coach Kyle Knutson.  “They are hard workers and good leaders.”

Diggins, Rooney and Hackel will serve as team captains.

James Mulcahy, Ryan Beachy, John McEachran, Grant Dierkhising, Jesse Hein, Aron Velde, Paul Sturdevant and Ty Doll will assist Knutson.

Knutson says Pequot Lakes and DGF will be the main challengers in the Midwest Red District and Section 8AAA.
