Another key open spot in Pella’s lineup coming into this season is running back after losing Brett Bogaard to graduation. Coach Jay Mckinstrey says with Bogaard gone they lost a lot of speed and overall athleticism at the running back position, however he notes there are several kids stepping up to the call this year that are progressing well and very capable of running the football including Dekkar Lynch and Spencer Boeyink. Both Lynch and Boeyink did carry the ball some last season and returned punts and kicks so they are no strangers to running the football and both have good speed and abilities. Pella opens their season Friday at Newton and you can hear the game live on 92.1 FM KRLS starting with the pregame coverage at 7pm
