2nd week of spring ball BC

Week 2 of spring ball

The 2nd week of spring ball has wrapped up and the chargers already have gone through 6 practices were both sides of the ball have looked good so far. Being a defensive tackle for the defense with the new line up and leader on the d unit for the chargers Eric Bolin the chargers look to have a top 10 defense this year in the NAIA. The team finished 12th in total defense last year and with Jarrod Mackovicka, Taylor Schumacher, and Calvin Christophersen gone the chargers look at their young core on defense to step up. Defensive Coordinator Kyle Langhoff feels the team has a lot to accomplish this year and it they have to prove in spring ball to see if the defense will work next year. The main group on defense that’s returning for the chargers is the Defensive Line led by Adnan Kaspovic, Steve Urquidez, Brady Summers, Jeremy Schindler, Stan Bonsu, Josh Bosquet, and other members of the group. Coached by Anthony Thomas the chargers d line looks to be the leader not only for the defense but for the hold team as well. Kasapovic who’s been with the chargers for 3 years knows this could be the year the team could go over .500 and do a little bit more than that. “I know we have a solid team this year on our side of the ball, and I know the offense with Lehi, Chase, and Pro can make a lot of strides and surprise people, but this upcoming season to me is way more than just going .500.” Head coach Tom Rethman says he sees his team showing a lot of improvement during the 2nd week of spring ball. “I like the tempo of practice the defense is a little ahead of the offense, but it has been good to see some of the players we are expecting to step into the major roles and continue to grow.”
