Coaches Kiefel and Crenshaw run linemen through drills.

DW COMBINE-Coach Troy Larsen is in his 23rd year of coaching football; seven years coaching for the Dayton-Waitsburg Wolfpack. He is looking forward to a fun and energetic season and you can expect his team to compete every week. Gabe Kiefel is returning as an assistant coach and Waitsburg's new PE teacher, Dirk Hansen will also be an assistant coach. Greg Crenshaw is a volunteer coach when not coaching the middle school team.

With 30 young men coming out for the team, there will be competition for starting spots. The team has nine returning starters after three seniors graduated last year. The offense has strength from returning seniors Monte Pettichord and his experience with three-and-a-half-years as quarterback and Hudson Reser's speed in the half back position. The offensive line has gotten bigger and are athletic; led by senior Isaac Conover. The Wolfpack's receivers are athletic and can catch, block and they have good speed. Coach Hansen has sons, senior Preston and sophomore Spencer, joining the team with a lot of football experience.

DW started practices on August 17 and Coach Larsen will get an early look at his team when they travel to Ritzville on Saturday, August 27 for a jamboree at 1 pm.  The Wolfpack will play their first home game on Friday, September 2nd, against Granger; 7 pm start time in Waitsburg.
