Over the past two years, Gladbrook-Reinbeck running back Nick Peterson

has had two very different seasons. During his sophomore year, he helped

his team the State title game but then spent most of his junior year slowed down

this an injury. Now that his senior season is here, Peterson is

ready to get things underway.

"I think that we have worked a lot harder than it seems like we have in the

past so I think we will all be in better shape. We will be good this year

I think."

What makes their road even tough is playing in a district loaded with

talented teams.

"We have four teams that made the playoffs with AP, Dike, Starmont, and

everyone is talking about Denver being a sleeper. Grundy Center is always

a rival."

Peterson has been still receiving college interest.

"It has been Iowa, Iowa State, St. Cloud State, and Division III schools."

Depending on what he is looking for will eventually help Peterson pick a

favorite.

"I guess it will depend on what level I want and if I want to play right away

or not."
