Mason is our go to guy.  When we get Mason involved in the game it is always a good outcome.  Mason is electric with the ball in his hands and runs outstanding routes.  Mason has one of the quickest first steps I have seen.  He catches virtually everything that is thrown his way.  Defensively he has great instincts for getting to the ball and can close ground on running backs and wide receivers anywhere on the field.   He has a nose for the ball and is dangerous anytime he is able to create a turnover. He hits like a middle backer and closes windows in the secondary quicker than the QB can see they are there. – Coach Max Hodgen

Cameron’s stats are crazy if you look at yards per carry, TD’s per carry, kick and punt returns, and led us in interceptions to.  He had 2 separate games that he ran for a TD, returned a kickoff for a TD, and had an interception return for a TD.  2 separate games he did that in. – Coach Dan Aaker

Chance is a terrific talent, a very versatile and explosive player. He was a threat to score every time he touched the football, and he was our team leader all season long both on and off the field. His semifinal game at Harding Co, 31-442 yards and 7 TDs, was maybe the best individual game I've ever witnessed in my 31 years of coaching. – Coach Paul Raasch
