More About Coach Krauel

In 2005, the Rattlers won their first ever state playoff game and Krauel was named 1st-Team All-Region. He spent the next four years at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. In his tenure there, Robert was a part of two Northwest Conference championship teams and made trips to both the Sweet Sixteen ('09) and Elite 8 ('06) rounds of the NCAA Division III National Tournament.
