By Doug DornathSouth Central Calhoun’s varsity head

coach Bryan Case fully expects traditional Titan football to be back this fall. The Titans football program, which enters its fourth year of existence, has only one season with a losing record, a 4-5 record last season, but has been very successful overall with a 24-8 record in three seasons including Class 2A playoff appearances in 2010 and 2011.

Only a pair of narrow defeats last fall kept the Titans from posting a winning record a year ago as SCC lost close road contests to both Forest City (14-12 loss) and a 21-20 setback to Garner-Hayfield/Ventura midway through the 2012 campaign.

Case has a career coaching record of 100-29 overall in 12 seasons as a head coach including a 24-8 record the past three years as head coach for the SCC Titans program. Last year was the only season in coach Case’s high school coaching year where his team had a losing record.

This fall, the Titans have 17 returning letterwinners to build the team around, including some key returning skill position players back in the backfield including senior running back Kyler Case and senior quarterback Jake Petzenhauser.

Kyler Case is the SCC record-holder for rushing yards in a career with 1,462 yards and 16 touchdowns. In 2012, Kyler, a three-year starter at SCC, had 268 yards rushing with three touchdowns and an additional 80 yards receiving with a pair of touchdown grabs in 2012. Petzenhauser shared quarterbacking duties with Nathan Christensen (a 2013 Shrine Bowl participant this summer) last fall and

returns as the team’s leading passer as he had 37 completions for 448 yards and four touchdowns.

Coach Case expects some of his younger players to step up and contribute immediately.

“We’ll have some young, inexperienced kids that will have to step up and fill some major roles early in the season,” said coach Case. “We will need to develop some ‘go to’ receivers.”

“Our kids have shown tremendous commitment this off-season,” said coach Case. “And I fully expect to get back to the way things used to be.”

Most of the Titans’ returning experience comes from its line as the Titans return all of their starters on the line from a season ago.

Defensively, the Titans have a number of returning players who contributed in 2012 including Cody Schoop, Anthony Handlos, Aron King, Kyler Case, Petzenhauser, Dontay Bass and Tyler Kutz.

Schoop posted 85 tackles in 2012 and is the top returning defender for the Titans. Handlos had 60 tackles with eight for a loss and a pair of sacks in 2012 while Aron King had 49 tackles and Case had 47 tackles including nine for a loss and two sacks. Petzenhauser contributed 44 tackles and a pair of interceptions, while Bass had 35 tackles in 2012 and Kutz finished with 29 tackles.

The Titans open up Class 2A, District 2 play at home against Clarion-Goldfield Sept. 13, in Lake City at 7 p.m. SCC will be at Kuemper Catholic in Carroll Friday, Sept. 20, and at Estherville-Lincoln Central Sept. 27, before returning to Lake City Oct.

4 for homecoming against Forest City. The following Friday, Oct. 11, the Titans will host Parent’s Night in a district contest against Garner-Hayfield/Ventura.

Expectations are even higher for the South Central Calhoun varsity volleyball program this fall.

The Titans are coming off an impressive 31-11 overall record and an undefeated Twin Lakes Conference record of 10-0 from a season ago. The Titans have received some pre-season accolades already this fall as they find themselves ranked No. 5 in Class 2A before the season even began.

SCC head coach Wade Voith said the team hopes to defend its TLC championship, win three weekend tournaments and make a post-season run.

“We have a lot of returning, experienced players who learned how to win last season,” said Voith. “We are fairly tall and can hit the ball really well. Blocking and serving will be strengths as well. Ashley (Henkenius) is the best returning setter in the conference.”

In all, the Titans return 10 varsity letterwinners from a year ago, five of which received all-conference honors including 2012 first-team all-conference selection Ashley Henkenius, second-team all-TLC selection Maggie Anderson, and third-team all-conference selections Haley Birks and Hannah Corey. In addition, junior Tyffaney Toms received honorable mention all-TLC recognition a season ago.

Henkenius is a four-year returning starter for the Titans this fall and has been named co-captain of this year’s squad along with three-year starter junior Haley Birks.

Also returning as letterwinners from a season ago for SCC include seniors, Maggie Anderson, Jessica Schultz, Abby Collison and Kellsie Knapp and juniors Kori Assman and Kylie Hepp

Voith said the Titans have a challenging schedule this fall with a number of strong teams including Ridge View, Kuemper Catholic, Carroll High,

Humboldt and East Sac County among the more challenging opponents this fall as well as the four varsity tournaments the Titans compete in this fall.

“We play in four Saturday tournaments and all four will be tough challenges for us because there is great competition at each,” said coach Voith. “We were second three times last year, so we are looking to improve our Saturday records.

“This team will be exciting and fun to watch,” added coach Voith. “We do not play at home very much so we hope we can have great crowds both at home and on the road.”

South Central Calhoun’s varsity boys cross country team hopes to make it three straight Twin Lakes Conference championships and more importantly three straight appearances at the state cross country meet for the 2013 season.

“We have tremendous experience back on the boys teak with seven returning letterwinners, five of which ran at the 2012 state cross country meet,” said SCC head coach Brian Knapp, who enters his 27th year of coaching cross country. “I would have to pick us as the team to beat in the TLC. The boy’s are wanting to return to the state meet for the third consecutive year, but it will take continued hard work and improvement to get there.”

SCC junior Ryan Daisy, a top 10 individual state qualifier for the Titans in 2012 who placed 38th individually at state a season ago, is joined by fellow state qualifiers Matt Nieland (senior and 2013

team captain), Lucas Farrington (junior), Zach Ludwig (junior) and Tanner Schrad (junior) as the returning state qualifiers from last season’s squad. Also returning as letterwinners on the boys team this fall include Miguel Diaz and Kory McCarter.

On the girls side, Mady Dick was a top 10 individual state qualifier for the Titan girls team as a freshman last fall. She finished 59th at state last fall as an individual in Class 2A. also returning as letterwinners for the Titan girls include team captain Michaela Graffunder (junior) and Tabitha Fergason (senior).

“We have three veteran girls returning, which will be key to the leadership aspect,” said coach Knapp. “Our girls team will gain quality newcomers from our sophomore and freshmen classes, which will make our girl’s team instantly much more competitive than in recent years. I expect our girls to vie for the conference title with Pocahontas Area and also have a chance to qualify for

newcomers for the Titan girls include sophomore Sarah Van Hulzen as well as freshmen Sydney Batz, Abby Clark, Katelyn Decker, Naia Goodman, Megan Hardy and Vanessa Squier.

“We have a great group of kids on both teams who possess runner’s mentality and great work ethics,” said Knapp. “If we have a weakness on the boy’s team, it would be we need to avoid complacency. We can’t rely on the past to get us where we want to be. On the girl’s team, we have some experience but need

inexperienced underclassmen to step forward instantly for us to compete at the level we want to be at.”

Key dates for the Titans cross country team include the SCC’s home meet Oct. 8 in Lake City for the South Central Calhoun Invitational at 4:30 p.m., the TLC meet at Pocahontas Oct. 19 at 9 a.m. and the Class 2A regional meet a site to be determined.
