By Coach Aaron Amundson
Generally, we are exceptionally young. We are in the midst
of a culture change here at Prairie du Chien, but I am impressed
with what I have seen up to this point with the players. If par-
ents and players begin to believe in what they are being asked to
do by the coaching staf, we will be able to see improvement as
the season moves along.
Returning in the backfeld are: Quarterback Brogan Potter,
Running back Casey Hogenson, and fullback Peyton Hall. We
did not score many points last year, had too many turnovers,
and lost almost our entire ofensive line, so there is a good bit
of work to do.
Defensively we were not very strong last year and we need to
put a real emphasis on that side of the ball. Tere are returners
with Adrian Johanningmeier, Chad Mara, Hunter Sheckler, and
Gunnar Kravchuk, but we will need to really improve on funda-
mentals such as tackling.
Letterwinners lost: 13
Former Players now competing: Brogan Riter UW-Platteville
(2012)
I was head coach from 2006-2010 (fve years 31-20, 15-12
Conference, 3-3 Playofs). Going into my 20th year of coaching
at the high school level - I am stepping back in, as Jon Boyle,
former head coach, has moved back to Marshfeld to be closer
to family.

Who are some of the top teams in your conference? What is
your conference outlook, goals for the season?
Dodgeville-Mineral Point, and Platteville will be the top
teams in our conference this season. As a team, our goal is to
score as close as possible to Lancaster, River Valley, and Rich-
land Center. With half our team being frst year runners, well
have to learn quickly in order to compete with other experi-
enced conference runners.
What will be the keys to your success this season?
Te keys to success this season are to be able to build up our
base without running into injuries and also having girls step up
into leadership roles. Tis will be difcult, as many of our girls
are new to the sport, however, I believe it can and will be done.
What was last years record?
We placed sixth place at the Conference Meet last year.
What do you consider your teams strengths and challenges?
Our biggest strength is our team camaraderie. We have
many girls who are able to laugh and have good time while train-
ing and getting into great shape. Our biggest challenges will be
to compete within our exceptionally tough conference. We will
be racing against some of the top runners in the state and it is
our goal to stick as close to them as possible.

Other Key Players: Jacob Lenzendorf, Josh Lenzendorf, TJ
Sprosty, Karson Prodzinski
Who are some of the top teams in your conference? What is
your conference outlook, goals for the season?
Similar to last year, the two predicted top teams within the
SWC Conference will be Platteville and Dodgeville/Mineral
Point, both of whom pulled away from the feld at the champi-
onships last year. In a spectacular performance, the Prairie du
Chiens boys team pulled of a third place fnish, one of its best
fnishes in recent years. Our goal will be to at least match this
fnish at the conference championships, and narrow the gap be-
tween ourselves and second place. Afterwards, improvement on
our 12th place WIAA Sectional fnish should be expected.
What will be the keys to your success this season?
Weve lost fve seniors to graduation, three of whom were
our top fve scorers. It will be crucial for last seasons juniors and
sophomores to step up and accept the challenge of leadership
on our team.
What was last years record?
We were 3-3 in dual meets last year, with a third place overall
fnish at the SWC Conference Championships.
What do you consider your teams strengths and challenges?
Our biggest challenge will be adjusting our runners who are
without varsity racing experience to compete at a higher cali-
ber level of competition. We are fortunate in that these younger
athletes have begun to embrace a winning vision of running,

Anything you would like to add?

our athletes, parents and coaching staf will hold each other to.
We expect this season to be another step forward in the build-
ing process of Prairie du Chien Cross Country.

Returning starters: Tara Herreid, senior, sectional golfer last
year; Megan Johnson, senior, sectional golfer last year
Promising returning players: Emily Trautsch, junior; Jessica
Gutknecht, junior; Autumn Kohler, junior; Taylor Hendrickson,
sophomore; Jennifer Slaght, sophomore
Strengths/concerns of this years team:
Tara and Megan, the two returning seniors, have a lot of ex-
perience, having come of a year where we went to sectionals as
a team. Tara, for the past two years, has consistently been one
of the teams top golfers. I look to her to be a strong leader this
year. Te rest of the team is fairly inexperienced. We are looking
forward to seeing how we match up with our conference teams
this year.
Comments on the conference race:
Lancaster always has a strong team. Tey were the confer-
ence champs last year and have almost their entire team return-
ing. I look for them to be very strong in the conference this year
again.
By Coach Jim Rohde
Te 2014 mens soccer team is poised for a very exciting
and competitive season. Te roster has nine returning letter
winners, of which six were full season starters and three were
named All Conference Honorable Mention, which should make
for a very exciting PDCHS soccer season.
Six veteran seniors, one junior and a group of nine sopho-
mores are returning with signifcant increases in size, speed and
skill levels. In addition, four freshman are taking the next step
up after playing last fall in the Prairie du Chien Youth League.
Te SWC should be a very close and competitive conference
this year, making for many exciting games and an open door for
the Conference Championship. Te combination of the strong
upper classmen with experience, strength and leadership and
the young, fast and talented sophomores and freshmen, should
provide a strong and controlling defense with a quicker, more
precise and unpredictable attack on ofense.
Te result, some very exciting and enjoyable soccer matches
with big victories for the Blackhawks. See you this fall at the
Bluf View pitch.
Prairie golfers look forward to seeing how they match up

Head Coach: Brad Gillitzer
Assistant Coaches: Cody Mullikin, AV Roth,
Volunteer Coach: Tim Yager
Key players: All returning seniors! We have a pretty big re-
turning group of 7-9 seniors.
Who are some of the top teams in your conference? What is
your conference outlook, goals for the season?
In the past and as history has shown in recent years, De Soto
has been very good, you also have to look at North Crawford
and Seneca (it was not long ago they were in the State Game).
You know at this point in the season you have to think everyone
has the chance to put together a really good team.
Our goals this season are to successfully implement our new
ofense and defense which will take some time to get comfort-
able with. I think we also need to work on teamwork and really
come together as a team, as a program, and as a school; and try
to get the most out of everyone involved, to succeed. My goal
as the coach for this program is to achieve and hold our student
athletes to a higher standard and in the end give ourselves a
fghting chance to make the playofs at the end of the season.
As any sports fan knows; once your in, anything can happen!
What will be the keys to your success this season?
Like any football program; hard work, team work, and
staying healthy. Also, grasping our new defense and ofense in
time to become successful will be key.
What was last years record? 1-8
What do you consider your teams strengths and challenges?
Our strengths must be our seniors. And the challenges will
be how they grasp our new defense and ofense. And how I do as
a frst year head coach!

are Ithaca, Weston and North Crawford.

Who are some of the top teams in the conference and what is
your conference outlook, goals for the season?
Some of the top teams in the Ridge and Valley Conference
should be La Farge, Ithaca and North Crawford. Conference out-
look: Te Conference can be up for grabs this year. Anyone can
be playing tough on any given night. Seneca has the ability to
be one of the top teams. Goals for the season: To improve each
game and push ourselves to our capability. We need to fnd our
spark and we can roll tough with it, to get the killer instinct and
roll with it. We will be working hard to contend for the confer-
ence title and to be ready for the tournament trail.
Last years record: We were 6-1 and second in the conference
behind North Crawford.
What are the keys to success this season?
We have some very talented girls and we need to believe in
ourselves and push ourselves and everything else will follow.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction. We have girls with
great attributes, and when we get everything rolling, we can cre-
ate a dominant team. I have a good bunch of seniors in Morgan
Payne, Taylor Redman, Michaela Chambers, Morgan Wall and
Paige Forde. Junior Nicole Manders will play and be tough in
the middle for us while Morgan Payne and Taylor Redman will
control our outside with Michaela Chambers either controlling
the other middle or setting up the other girls. Sophomore Becky
Trautsch will help set our hitters. Jena Konichek will always
bring a positive attitude to the team. We have two strong fresh-
men playing for us this year. Tey are Emily Garfoot and libero
Alivia Salivas. Both girls will start. Tese girls have a great at-
titude and they all need to believe in themselves and we can be
a successful team.

Top Teams/Conference Outlook:
Te conference lost some great talent to graduation, but re-
turns some really great talent as well. Black Hawk coming of
a state title will have lots of experience for all their returning
players and Potosi has a nice nucleus back as well. I look for
Shullsburg, Pecatonica and Belmont to make some noise with a
nice group of returning players as well and very few seniors last
year. We expect to be a much more competitive team in the Six
Rivers Conference this year.
Keys to Success:
As it is with every team, health will be a huge key to our suc-
cess this season. We return 14 players who had varsity experi-
ence in some facet last year. Many of those players are at very
key positions, so if this group stays healthy and our freshmen
class gives us some depth it will be very benefcial. Improving
defensively is a priority this season, as the last couple years, the
big play has become a real issue. If we can limit those and our

RIVER RIDGE
HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL
ofense continues to improve, we could make some big improve-
ment on last years record.
Strengths:
Experience at Quarterback, Receiver, O-Line should be ben-
efcial. We bring back the whole ofensive line from a year ago
and the quarterback is in his second year after leading us in
rushing and passing a year ago. It looks as though we will have a
large freshmen class, so if we can start stacking those together,
we will get our numbers up. Having a JV season this season was
a goal we had and it looks as though that is going to happen.
Concerns:
We obviously would like to have more depth with our upper
classmen, so we will probably be forced to play some freshmen
here and there. We have been forced to do this the last couple
years, and we are really trying to avoid this unless we have to.

Strengths/concerns of this years team:
Were hoping for some strong hitting and blocking, since we
have a little more height than we did last year. We are looking
for more consistent serve receiving, serving, and hitting this
year.
Comments on the conference race:
Belmont will be tough as they were conference champs last
year, and they have Keeghan Kamps returning. I think it will be
a year where any team could take out another from the start to
the fnish, which makes it a fun and competitive season!
Other comments/any human interest stories on your team:
We have a couple of rodeo girls on our team. Sammy Steiger
and Bridgette Myers just got done competing at the National
High School Rodeo Finals in July. Tey also competed in rodeo
in August, which is about the same time volleyball starts. Tey
do a great job balancing schedules and making it all work! It is
nice to see them be successful in both sports!
