Anthony Soderberg begins his 13th year as head coach of the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Rebels with some high expectations for his team after a 9-2 record a year ago, resulting in a runner-up finish in Section 8AAA and the Midwest District (Red).

Soderberg, who will be assisted by Jesse Barnacle, Bryant Bergeson, Tony Reno, Todd Bergeson and Jason Sunde, says, “We look to have a very solid squad this year.  We have a nice mix of athletes and big guys where we will not have many holes to fill on either side of the ball.  If we can stay healthy and come together as a team we should be right in the mix come Section playoff time.”

Returning starters for the Rebels include, seniors Justin Wang (RB/LB), Ben Ellenbaum (OL), Brandon Watt (DB), Hunter Fischer (OL) and Preston Johnson (LB), and sophomore Owen Leach (DB). 

Other players expected to play significant varsity roles are seniors Payton Doran (QB) and Blake Cota (OL/DL), juniors Donovan Verdi (RB/DB), Logan Johnson (RB/LB), McKale Pierson (RB/DE) and Logan Bitker (TE/DL), and sophomore Jordan Summers (RB/LB).

Soderberg says Perham and Pequot Lakes are the main challengers in Section 8AA.
