(Harlan, IA) — Four losses in a season and a playoff appearance would be a solid season for most teams. At Harlan, it is a down year.
The Cyclones came off back-to-back state titles with a 6-4 season and a first round playoff exit. With some key seniors gone after last season, Head Coach Todd Bladt will see a lot of new faces in the line up but its too early to say how far they can go
At Quarterback, Harlan graduated Will Arkfeld (1,986 passing yards, 20 TD, 11 INT; 236 rushing yards) but Junior Gabe Arkfeld will take his place — Bladt says he is raw but talented
Bladt says there are a lot of other positions that are up for grabs during pre-season camp
Harlan opens their season on Friday, August 30th hosting rival Lewis Central in a non district game.
