Impact Player for Forreston
Forreston and head coach Keynon Janicke welcomes back a veteran team in 2024 especially on the defensive side of the football with 8 senior starters back in the fold. Forreston senior LB Evan Boettner was named an honorable mention All conference performer in 2023 and will be asked to again provide leadership and production in leading the Cardinals defense this fall.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Forreston Cardinals
Forreston is coming off an 8-3 record in 2023 as the Cardinal posted a 6-2 record in the rugged NUIC. The Cardinals made the Class 1A state playoff field, defeated Ottawa Marquette and then lost to conference rival Lena Winslow in second round action to end the season. I look for the Cardinals to again be at the top of the NUIC (arguably the toughest top to bottom conference in the state?) and to again have a good chance at getting into and making a run in the Class 1A state playoff field in 2024.
