The following Watford City Wolves were recognized for their efforts and achievements during the 2025 football season.
All-State 1st Team: Thaydan Arnold.
All-State 2nd Team: Rhylie Ledahl-Berger.
All-Region 1st Team: Thaydan Arnold, Trysten DeVries, Rhylie Ledahl-Berger, Brandon Spacher.
All-Region Honorable Mention: Harper Moberg, Konnor Winter.
“Thaydan had a tremendous year for us,” stated Watford City Head Coach, Jim Dooley. “And he’s really just had an outstanding career at WCHS. He was our leader on the offensive line and gave us an opportunity to do things at his position (Center) that are not common- such as pulling to lead, pulling to trap, he even threw a pass on an extra point. Thaydan was the glue that held the offense together; he will be missed.”
It is difficult to quantify an individual offensive lineman’s impact statistically, but the team success tells a large part of the story. Watford City rushed the ball for a total for 3,015 yards and 33 TDs as a team this season. Defensively, Arnold was a part of 36 tackles, had 3 TFLs, and a sack.
“Rhylie had an outstanding year as well,” continued Coach Dooley. “His 1,304 yards and 6.7 average were among the best in all of AA football. Rhylie ran hard- he got us the tough yards, and he got us some big plays.” Rhylie rushed the football 194 times this year and recorded 16 touchdowns. He also caught 4 passes for 35 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Ledahl-Berger had 13 solo tackles and 15 assisted tackles.
