Join host Jason Kasanezky on this episode of the Charger Nation Podcast as he sits down with Judsen Whittaker and Isaac Clark, two standout Varsity golfers at Dassel-Cokato High School. The conversation takes listeners through the full journey of the 2025 season — from the highs of competitive matches to the challenges that tested their resilience along the way.

Judd and Isaac reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the moments that stood out most during the year, and the ways their team has continued to grow together both on and off the course. Looking ahead, they share what excites them most about the upcoming 2026 season, including their personal goals and expectations for the team.

The episode also gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the players prepare for competition. Judd and Isaac walk through their preseason practice routines, talk about the dedication it takes to keep their game sharp, and explain how they adapt when Minnesota’s unpredictable early spring weather makes training difficult.

Whether you’re a Charger sports fan, a golfer, or someone who enjoys stories of perseverance and growth, this conversation captures the spirit of high school athletics and the pride of representing Dassel-Cokato on the course.

In this episode of the Charger Nation Podcast, we sit down with Dassel-Cokato Head Volleyball Coach Sharon Anderson. Coach Anderson shares her coaching philosophy, the importance of balancing athletics with family life, and what it means to lead a program full of dedicated student-athletes. We dive into the culture of DC volleyball, the growth of the program, and the broader impact of sports on young women in our community.
