Q&A with Humboldt wide receiver Corey Dettmann

“After football, I played basketball. I will play baseball in the summer. Currently, I am playing golf. For workouts we have weekly lifting sessions and running sessions.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?

“Webster City, Algona, and Clear Lake will definitely be good games.”
