Metro rivals become friends at Coe

Dalton Kuehl, Terrance Hall and Trevor Noble put their arms around each other and smiled like old friends Wednesday instead of snarling at each other like enemies.

They'll always be J-Hawks, Cougars and Lions, but now the former Metro football stars are united as freshmen at Coe College and all on the same team.

The Kohawks boast 15 Metro graduates on their roster with players from Jefferson, Kennedy, Linn-Mar, Xavier, Prairie and Marion (but none from Washington this year).

"I never knew I'd be friends with these guys, but I like them," laughed Noble, a wide receiver from Linn-Mar.

"It's kind of cool, getting to play with someone you've always gone against," said Kuehl, an offensive tackle from Jefferson. "We kind of hated Kennedy, and it's kind of weird having Drew (Heitland) right down the hall from me now. But it's fun."
