Clifton Central
Maroa Forsythe

Impact Player for Watseka
Senior LB/OL Tylor Duflinger. Duflinger is a returning two way full time starter for the Warriors and will be asked to again provide leadership on and off the field in 2020.

EDGY's Quick Take on the Watseka Warriors: The Warriors made the 2019 Class 2A state playoff field and lost in second round action to Knoxville to end the season. Look for an experienced Watseka team on both sides of the football this season. If the Warriors can reload a bit on the defensive front 7 they will have another good shot at challenging for the SVC conference title and another state playoff berth in 2020.
