Offseason Top 3: Class AAAAA

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Last Season:</strong> 8-3, 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> 7 O, 5 D</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Player to Watch:</strong> Jason Williamson, RB</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There’s a good chance it might be 2013 all over again for Owatonna. The Huskies are coming off a state tournament appearance and have a dozen total starters returning from last year’s squad. Four years ago, coach <strong>Jeff Williams</strong> had a similar number of returnees and the Huskies dominated, finishing with an undefeated season and state championship.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Alex Raichle</strong> and <strong>Jason Williamson</strong> will be one of the best playmaking duos in Class AAAAA. Raichle is Owatonna’s big play threat at receiver and a ball-hawking cornerback, while Williamson should again be the Huskies workhorse out of the backfield. Williamson also starts at safety on defense.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The key to the Huskies success next season will hinge on their offensive and defensive lines. Tackles <strong>Terrel Conner</strong> and <strong>Kadyn Mulert</strong> are the lone starters back on offense. Mulert might be asked to play defense as well, because the Huskies will have to replace both <strong>Chandler Buckhalter</strong> and <strong>Goy Tut</strong> in the middle.   </span></span></p>
