2025 Schedule
| Season Outlook |
| The Cardinals will look to improve in Thomas’ 2nd year as Head Coach. With key starters returning on both sides of the ball, the Cardinals offense should be more explosive this season. Justin Williams who had 40+ catches and nearly 700 yards receiving last year, will lead the trio of Senior receivers. Connor Triano a versatile TE and sure handed slot receiver Devon Jackson will add experience to the outside. Combined, these three wide receivers for 80+ receptions and over 1,200 yards receiving. Williams was also a major impact player on the defensive side of the ball with 97 tackles and 5 INT’s. The Cardinals will be returning everyone in their secondary and will only be loosing a small handful of players upfront. Special teams should also be a weapon for the Cardinals this season with Junior punter and kicker Lucas Angst hoping to play a bigger role this season with his leg. With a good mix of younger talented players and solidified, experienced starters, the Cardinals should see an improvement in both play and record this year. |
