High school football: With momentum, athletes and a key coaching addition, Two Rivers ready to ‘change the narrative’

Senior defensive lineman Max Mogelson gets annoyed when Two Rivers’ run to the Class 5A, Section 3 final last fall is described by others as “crazy.”To be fair, it was. The Warriors won all of one game during the regular season, only to reel off consecutive fourth-quarter rallies in two playoff victories — the latter featuring a pair of touchdowns in the final 70 seconds of the section semifinal to erase Bloomington Kennedy’s 11-point advantage. Two Rivers scored a combined 55 points in their first two section games after scoring 52 points total in eight regular-season games.That is crazy.But the playoff success is what Mogelson, a University of Nevada Las Vegas commit, assumes as the standard for the program.“We’re not expecting to come out here and win a couple of games,” Mogelson said. “We’re not expecting to go on a ‘crazy’ playoff run, because that’s what we expect.”It has not looked like the expectation over the past decade. The Warriors made it to the state tournament in 2013...
