OnFocus Season Preview
Coaching staff:
John Kreeger – Varsity Head Coach
Amber Griesmer – JV / Assistant Varsity
Terrie Pospichal – JV2
Codee Peterson – Assistant Varsity
Key returners:
Sydney Falteisek – M
Calley Ruesch – OH

Sommer Brodhagen – S/OH
Faith Sperl – S
Key newcomers:
There are a few position battles we are excited to see how they turn out. Whoever wins those starting positions will be a key contributor to the varsity season.
Conference outlook:
The Marawood is always a tough conference. Athens is returning quite a few of players from a State qualifying team. Phillips always puts together a solid team, and is returning at least four of their starters. Prentice always gives us a tough match up. Rib Lake has a great young core. Chequamegon has amazing numbers and they might be ready to take a step forward this season.
We will be very competitive, but it will be a battle for the conference title for sure.
Keys to your success this season:
Communication and execution. With our returning players and the second year in our system, we have high expectations.
Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed?
We have some amazing parents and the list is too long to compile them all, but these are some of the ones that go above and beyond:
Krista Keech – keeps our score books and assists in organizing preseason
Timoly Brodhagen – helps to organize our youth night and does most of our graphic art and promotion
Cathy Clement – helping with our preseason tournament
Kim Schindler – helping with our preseason tournament
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?
We return a lot of our team from last season, and have made some nice strides. We have high expectations for this upcoming season and we are looking forward to see how far this team can go.
