Football Names Starting Quarterback

08/31/2010 - 3:45 PM

St. Cloud State head football coach Scott Underwood has announced his starting quarterback for SCSU’s season opener will be redshirt freshman Philip Klaphake. The Princeton, Minnesota native was in a close battle with sophomore Brad Meade but it was Klaphake who got the job.
 

The 6’1” 188-pounder holds the Princeton High School record for passing yards and was a two time All-State Honorable Mention. The versatile Klaphake also lettered in basketball, baseball and track in his high school career.
 

The Huskies are looking for someone to fill the shoes of departed quarterback Mitch Watkins. In the 2009 season, Watkins passed for 1,623 yards and 17 touchdowns while throwing just five interceptions.
 

Klaphake and the Huskies open up their 2010 season this Saturday, September 4th at Augustana. Kickoff is set for 1 o’clock. Make sure to keep up with all of the latest Husky sports news by following KVSC Sports on twitter at twitter.com/kvscsports.
 

Men's Hockey Uniform Numbers Revealed

Despite the departure of Ryan Lasch,  St. Cloud State will still have a #19 taking the ice this season. That #19 won’t be the All-Time leading scorer in team history, but will instead be Drew LeBlanc. The junior forward will switch from his customary #29 and is joined by sophomore defensemanTaylor Johnson as the only two returning Huskies to switch uniform numbers. Johnson will wear #4 this season after wearing #24 in his first season. Both players are returning to the numbers they wore in juniors, as LeBlanc wore #19 for Chicago and Johnson #4 for Green Bay.

Numbers were also assigned to new players joining the SCSU roster this season. Kevin Gravel, a defenseman drafted by the Los Angeles Kings this summer, will wear #7, previously worn by Garrett Raboin.

Forward Cody Thorson will wear #8, forward Bryce Johnson #15, defensman Brandon Burrell #20, forward Cam Reid #23, and forward Nic Dowd #26.

Forward Mitch MacMillan, who was added late to St. Cloud’s roster was not listed at this time on the document on the St. Cloud State website.
 

St. Cloud to Consider Cutting Football Program

08/22/2010 - 1:00 PM

The St. Cloud State football team is hard at work getting ready for their opening game on September 4 at Augustana, but a great deal of uncertainly surrounds the program. This less than a week after it was announced St. Cloud State University is considering cutting the football program due to budget concerns.

Three proposals to help St. Cloud State eliminate a $500,000 budget shortfall for the 2011 school year were discussed and two of them involved the cutting of the football team. Football, like all SCSU sports besides Men’s Hockey, loses money and Athletic Director Dr. Morris Kurtz was quoted as saying, “Everything is on the table.”

The Huskies play in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, which requires charter members to have a football team. St. Cloud State has requested for a waiver of this requirement as they look into the potential of cutting the football program.

The third proposal put forth would not eliminate football, but instead cut eight other SCSU sports.

KVSC will continue to follow this breaking story as it develops as well as speak with head coach Scott Underwood about the upcoming season and the future of the program as the season nears.
