2011 Football Preview: Coldwater

[Eric Frantz]

Coldwater (11-4, D-V State Runner-Up)

* Players to Watch – QB Austin Bruns (6'4, 205, jr.), K/WR/DB Troy Otten (5'9, 170, sr.), OL/DE Mark Brunet (6'4, 205, sr.), DE Jordan Harlermert (6'2, 220, jr.), DB Jordan Chapin (5'9, 170, jr.), DB/WR Caleb Siefring (5'10, 160, jr.), LB/TE Zach Dickman (6'1, 210, jr.), WR/DB Alex Stammen (6'2, 175, sr.), OL/DL Alex Grieshop (6"0, 255, sr.)

* Outlook – Last year the Cavaliers (who own the most wins in the state since 2000 – 134) had a new head coach in Chip Otten and were supposed to have a subpar season. Instead they made it all the way back to the D-V state championship game. What can they do for an encore? How about three straight state finals? It’s a real possibility. Bruns threw for over 2,500 yards and 24 TDs last season despite missing the final three playoff games with an injury. Otten is one of the state’s most prolific kickers (96 PATs) and Siefring is a two-way standout that started all 15 games last year and was the lone sophomore to make All-MAC (first or second team). Chapin, an All-MAC HM pick, returns to lead the defense after making 105 tackles.

The junior class is very talented.

I'm expecting a big season from Chip Otten & Co.!

WOW, impressive.

I did not know they become Div 1.

Oops.

Watching the team play last season when most of those kids were soph's, they were a very good football team.
This season, they will be much better and I believe they will make it back to the finals again.

Coldwater will most likely be the only team Kenton see's in the regular season or maybe even the playoffs that may be able to shut down Mauk.

I'll pick Coldwater vs. most teams. The Cavs are the prototypical High School football team and program. I was so overly impressed with them last year. Where do they find these kids? Its unreal. Mauk better not enter that game with a big head or the Cavs will cut it off. Giving Mauk his credit, he's an amazing athlete.

[MACster]

Here's a scary thought, the defense may be better than the offense that Austin Bruns will direct.

It all goes back to Coach Reed. Coldwater Football is a special family, and almost every kid in Coldwater wants their shot under the Friday Night Lights to carry on the torch.
