Dassel-Cokato Boys Basketball Preview w/ Captain Judsen Whittaker

The 2025–26 Dassel-Cokato Chargers boys basketball team enters the new season with renewed energy, strong team culture, and a rising senior core led by captain Judsen Whittaker. Known for his relentless work ethic, defensive versatility, and leadership both on and off the court, Whittaker is poised to play a major role in the Chargers’ push up the Wright County Conference standings.

After gaining valuable varsity experience and finishing last season with strong momentum, Judsen returns as the emotional and strategic anchor of a roster filled with hard-working juniors, emerging talent, and a more physical lineup than years past. From offseason captain’s practices to developing younger players like Alec Anderson and Kaleb Kramer, Whittaker is helping shape a gritty, high-effort identity for DC basketball.

Fans can expect a faster pace, tighter defense, improved rebounding, and a deeper, more competitive rotation. With key conference matchups against GSL, Annandale, Litchfield, Hutchinson, and Howard Lake, the Chargers are aiming to turn close losses into signature wins and make a serious statement this winter.

This season preview highlights Judsen’s journey, the team’s goals, projected standouts, rivalries, and what Charger Nation can expect from a program focused on culture, accountability, and playing with high energy every night.
