2020 Planned Team 7on7 or Team Summer Camp?
On Hold (IHSA suspension of summer contact days)
Few smaller 7 on 7 scheduled at our place
Impact Player for Sterling: Senior TE/DE Trevon Jordan. Jordan, a multi-sport athlete for Sterling is already verbally committed to NIU this early summer. Jordan will also be a multi-year starter and will be asked to provide senior leadership this fall for the Golden Warriors.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Sterling Golden Warriors: Sterling (10-1/7-0) was able to make quite an impact last fall in it's first season in the Western Big 6, posting a perfect 7-0 conference slate and winning the conference title. Sterling also made the 5A state playoff field and lost to St. Rita in second round action. Look for Sterling to reload with 14 returning starters back (8 on defense). Biggest question for Sterling? Who ends up taking the reins of the starting quarterback position this summer?
