Bruce govig and Nick Joliffe.... Bruce is more of the guy who will play anywhere RB,FB,TE,WR he is very strong and very athletic... he is one of those guys who could probably suceed at every position in high school football on both sides of the ball (other then QB). Nick plays Safety and Wide Reciever he has very good hands and runs very good routes... on most teams he would be one of those stand out players mith huge stats at reciever but with all the threats bismarck has on offense (jake miller and 3 or 4 above average recievers and the best QB in the state throwing to them) he wont have the huge stats he would if he was playing somewhere like jamestown or williston. All in all if he stays injury free I think he is gonna be one of the better skill position players in the west.

i personally dont think that Hanson will put up the numbers that he did last year. didnt he lose his top to recievers and mostly all of his O line?

i agree. i dont think he will put up the numbers from last year. but that doesnt necessarily mean that he isnt one of the best skill players. however far the get next year will be because of him.

The only person returning for the offensive side is Hanson

Last time I checked, "skilled" positions were under the offensive lines' ownership.

well granted all skill players need an offensive line to do anything. but what about from the east? do they have anyone that will prob put up some big stats?

Are Schnabel(sp) and MacDougal(sp) from North coming back next season?

JORDAN PIATZ

from what i hear piatz is alright but nothing special tho. Isn't he only like 5'10 or something like that? and i'm not sayin you cant be good at that height but it definately isnt as easy as being taller like skateland was or jacobs from century is. and is he even that fast?

Obviously you have never played against or even seen Piatz play. I don't think you get ever coach in the state to vote for you for all-state if your not something special. He was in double coverage all year long and still had as many yards and TD's as he did. He is something special.

Don't get me wrong on this he is a really good player but something special is a little bit of an overstatement.... Weston Dressler, Tyler Rohl, Greg Eslinger.... those were special players

agree.

i feel sorry for alex hanson next year.... he will seriously be the entire offense... if any one else even scores a TD, it will be an accident that they did.

Jake Miller is a dude. Everybody better watch out.

I'd wait until Williston's new starters get a chance to play before I throw them under the bus. This is high school, everybody loses a lot to graduation and turns over the starters every year or two.

I'm very curious as to whether they will end up sticking with the spread offense this year.

Bruce Govig... Hands down
