Coyotes Ready for Home Opener

Potter-Dix’s Coyote Football team held a scrimmage Saturday evening at Combs Field in Potter, and the boy’s looked as sharp as their new red and white uniforms. The Coyotes open at home against the Wallace Wildcats at 7 p.m. on Friday at Combs Field.

Potter-Dix Head Coach Dale Frerichs will rely on sophomore standout Luke Kasten at quarterback and running back, as the 6’3” multi-sport athlete has the arm strength and the speed to break away from defenses on any play. Returning starters Jared Anton, Donnie Moench and Anthony Tovar will power the offense with a great mix of speed and height, and should give the Wildcats trouble defending against the Coyote’s spread offense.

The Wildcats, previously an 8-Man team, come off a season where they had to forfeit their varsity games due to lack of players, and are in their first year as a 6-Man team. Senior Tanner Finley is anticipated to be the starting quarterback for Wallace and feature senior Hadley Sayer and junior Alec Messersmith in the backfield and receiving.
