With seven victories and a win in the first round of the postseason, it was a
banner year for Oskaloosa. Andrew Landgrebe and the running game had a lot
to do with their winning ways but his graduation will leave plenty of carries
for their returners to step into. Nate VanVeldhuizen will likely get first
crack at it as this varsity veteran totaled over 500 yards on the ground as a
junior. He is one of the most experienced athletes on the Indians
and will to step up early on as a leader for this group. Expect their
three returning starters along the line to help him and others move the chains. Struggles defensively meant that this club gave up on average
30 points a night and that is a number that must be improved on heading into
2014. Riley Coniglio, Ki-Jana DeJong, Max Johnson, Jimmy Brown, and
VanVeldhuizen all will be thrust into larger roles on this side of the ball and
their ability to step up is a must early in the year. They may have holes
to fill on paper but the core returning leaves this team as one that will not
suddenly struggle when the season kicks off.
