Offseason Top 3: Class AAA
Adam Rossow
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Last Season:</strong> 11-2, Lost in State Semifinals</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Returning Starters:</strong> 6 O, 6 D</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Player to Watch:</strong> Bryce Anderson, TE/DL</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The Rebels had to reload most of their starting-22 after the 2015 season and subsequently advanced to the Class AAA state semifinals before losing to Rochester Lourdes. They return a lot more experience in 2017.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Three of four defensive linemen and two linebackers return in Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton’s front seven, but All-State linebacker and leading tackler <strong>Ryan Poehls </strong>will need to be replaced. Cornerback <strong>Austin Bitker</strong> is the only starter on the back end of the defense who returns from last fall.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">All five offensive linemen, led by tackle <strong>Hunter Macziewski,</strong> are back along with junior tight end <strong>Bryce Anderson</strong>. The entire offensive backfield will be gone because of graduation, but the running lanes and pocket protection should be there early and often for D-G-F.</span></span></p>
