TRAER – A trio of talented Redhawk football players and an equally talented quartet of Redhawk volleyball players were recently named to the 2023 Times-Republican All-Area teams.

Kolt Knaack, a junior, was named as a quarterback selection alongside Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s Isaac Clark and GMG’s Slate Witte, both seniors.

Knaack’s teammates Josh Dostal and Gavin Rausch were also named to the team as wide receiver/tight end and linebacker, respectively.

Four members of North Tama’s volleyball program also received All-Area selections including sophomores Kruiz Ewoldt (outside hitter) and Addison Hochstelter (libero) who were both first team picks.

Redhawk senior Izzy Hallett was a second team selection as an outside hitter, while junior Zoey Rausch, a setter, received honorable mention.

Congratulations to these stellar student-athletes.
