On this episode of the Charger Nation Podcast, host Jason Kasanezky sits down with assistant coach Isaac Nelson and youth coach Ryan Chatterton to recap the 2025 Dassel-Cokato Chargers football season and look ahead to the future of DC football at Bulldog Studios in Facility Enhancement, Inc. Cokato, MN.
The guys break down the heartbreaking section loss to Holy Family, talk through key moments of the game, and highlight standout performances on both sides of the ball – from the versatility of the senior class and a deep running back room averaging over four yards per carry, to a young offensive line finding its groove and a defense that kept attacking. They also dig into the impact of weight-room culture, multi-sport athletes, and how early varsity reps have shaped this senior group.
Then they zoom out to the rest of Minnesota high school football: recapping Holy Family vs. Jordan, the Minneapolis North matchup, a wild day at U.S. Bank Stadium with DGF, Waseca, Annandale, and more – plus full Prep Bowl predictions from 9-Man through 6A, including Morehead vs. Edina and Jackson County Central’s title push.
Finally, Ryan shares what he’s seeing in the eighth-grade and middle school pipeline, why 7-on-7 and offseason work matter, and how the next wave of Chargers is already grinding in the weight room, wrestling room, and gym.
If you’re a DC Chargers fan, parent, player, or just love Minnesota high school football, this episode is packed with insight on culture, player development, and what’s coming next in Dassel-Cokato.
