2022 Team 7on7 or Team Summer Camp?
Going to a 7 on 7 in Monticello and Mahomet, and we do our own, in house Summer Camp for two weeks in July.
Impact Player for Champaign Centennial:
Senior RB/LB Brandon Harvey (6-foot-0, 205 pounds) is a multi-positional multi-year varsity starter for Centennial. Harvey has been an impact player for the past few seasons and will again be asked to provide production and leadership on both sides of the football in 2022.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Champaign Centennial Chargers:
The Chargers (6-5) made the 2021 Class 6A state playoff field, defeated Kenwood in opening round action then lost to eventual Washington in second round action. The Chargers and head coach Kyle Jackson will look towards a strong core of returning starters back (11 starters 5 offense 6 defense) while also looking towards a strong underclassmen group to hopefully fill in some holes at a few key positions (QB/WR/LB) this summer. The Big Twelve was a pretty wide open race in 2021, and I can see this Centennial team again being a state playoff level qualifier with a shot at making a run at the top tier of the conference this fall.
