coach hills and his players are ready for the season!
Coach Alan Hills always looks forward to a new football season. Here's a look at his thoughts coming into game one this week with C-I. "It's always exciting to get a new season underway and watch the team come together. We have good and balanced numbers 9-12 which is huge not only for depth, but from a program standpoint as well. The guys have been working hard through our two a day practices and our upper classmen have shown great leadership and have been really hungry to take the next steps as players."

Arguably the best running back in Aitkin Gobbler history is heading to Marshall to play for the Mustangs of Southwest Minnesota State University. The senior committed to SMSU over the weekend. He rushed for nearly 4,000 yards in his career and scored 54 touchdowns. HIs plans for his freshman year, "I'm probably going to redshirt." Gobbler coach Alan Hills was happy for Williams, "I'm really proud and very happy for him. He's worked extremely hard to get where he is as a player. The NSIC is one of the top, if not the best D-II conference in the country and he's going to get an opportunity to show what he can do. Jacob's been a huge part of our program the past four years and I'm excited to watch his continued success on the field." Meanwhile the unbeaten wrestler continues his season on the mat Tuesday night.
