Coach Husbys Kickers Reach State Tournament

When the regular Football Season ends, the playoff runs begin.  This is a time that many athletes dream and train for.  A chance to see if their personal and team's training and season momentum can carry them into a deep playoff run.  The Minnesota & Wisconsin High School Football season ended a few weeks ago and many of the teams competed for a chance at the state tournament.  As a coach, Chris Husby and his staff's ultimate goal is to help put their athletes in a position to achieve their personal and team goals.  This year was a great year.  Many of the athletes they helped train made it to the Section Playoff Championship Game, and even advance to the State playoffs.  Kickers and punters that Coach Husby and his staff has helped train have continued to perform at a high level and help their team advance far into the playoffs.

Section Championship- Special Teams Player of the Week

As the playoffs reach the Section Championship rounds, it's always fun to see what teams continue to stay strong, and what teams make surprise upsets. Last week every remaining team was playing for a berth at State Tournament. There were a lot of tight games and a few over time wins. One kicker in particular had a big game for his team. Cooper Rose of Kasson-Mantorville (Class 4) spent a lot of time on the field. He hit 4 of his 5 PATs, but hit 3 field goals for a total of 13 points for his team. Congratulations Cooper! Good luck in your state playoff run.
