GTRA Titans football is relying unity for success

The 7-1 GTRA Titans football program is preparing for a competitive matchup against the 6-2 CAM Cougars this Friday night. The Titans last game a week ago turned into a 66-20 rout of the North Iowa Bison.

44-point victories are a good reminder for GTRA head coach Todd Hough of how much improvement his team has seen in the last year.

A large part of the Titans success is the equal distribution on offense. Starting quarterback Kasey Hough has been sharp in the pocket with a 73.8 completion percentage and over 23 touchdowns. Those 23 touchdowns have been distributed to seven different receivers.

Coach Hough has also liked the disruption his defensive has caused on opposing offensive lines. That has allowed linebackers Caleb Swedin and Landen Dietrich to cause havoc on offenses. Both linebackers combine for 74 tackles and six tackles for a loss.

Even with a tested defense, the Titans are not overlooking the running attack of CAM. The Cougars have rushed for over 1800 yards and average 6.4 yards a carry. A large part due to senior Makade Paulsen and his 985 rushing yards.

The bus ride for CAM will be over two hours on Friday and coach Hough thinks that will only play a small part in the game.

KJANTV will be broadcasting the game with the pregame slated to start at 6:30 p.m.
