Oakes football coach Greg Dobitz is optimistic about the team's prospects for making a return to the Class A playoffs. Sophomore running back Andrew Rosendahl is a key player in this effort, having shown significant improvement over his first season.

With a roster size of 35 to 38 players, Dobitz is confident in the team's ability to compete and hopes to make the postseason once again. The season kicks off against Class A State Champion Langdon on August 21.
