Patriot Football
The jewel of the class 9B world this season is the Hitchcock-Tulare Patriots.
Two seasons ago, they were a very young team, and a passing interest. Then last
year, Kenny Huether took over as head coach, and immediately this team full of
sophomores and juniors ran off an 8-0 regular season, nipped Dell Rapids St.
Mary in their great quarterfinal game, and even gave Hanson an early threat in
the class 9B championship game, despite playing on only two days’ rest in that
game. This season, quarterback Ryan Huizenga and running back Connor Skaare as
well as most of the line will be back to take what could be their last serious
run at a state championship for a while. I believe that after watching
essentially this same team play last year, that there’s not a lot in the
Patriots’ way for a return trip to the title game.
