Biggest Question facing Eisenhower this fall?


Can the Cardinals take it's game to the next level this fall? Eisenhower and head coach Sheamus Murphy has the program headed in the right direction, including posting a very solid 4-2 record this past spring. The Cardinals also welcome back an experience team for the fall season including 13 starters (7 on offense) and will feature some real firepower. Eisenhower beat the likes of Richards this past spring (a huge program win) and can they do it again this fall including getting past Shepard? Getting into the state playoff field this fall for the second straight year is very realistic for this team.

Impact Player for Eisenhower: Junior QB/DB Nashon Johnson. Johnson has been a key over the past year plus for the Cardinals. Johnson is a speedy, athletic dual threat signal caller with a strong and accurate arm who is also a dangerous runner as well.

EDGY's Quick Take on the Eisenhower Cardinals: Eisenhower no question is an on the rise program to watch this fall. Coming off a 4-2 spring season, a brand new renovated home field with turf this program has a real shot at winning the South Suburban Red conference along with gaining a state playoff berth this fall. If the Cardinals can reload a bit on the offensive line and in the secondary along with build up a bit of depth, they can be a pretty dangerous team to watch this fall.

Game to Watch this Fall? Week 5 at Shepard
