Impact Player for Forreston:
Forreston is always loaded with impressive running backs who run hard. can and will run over opposing defenders and this position group also knows where the weight room is as well as the track. Senior TB Kaleb Sanders was one of the Cardinals top rushers in 2022 and with the graduation loss of RB Johnny Kobler I expect Kaleb Sanders to be the lead back in an always deep and balanced Forreston backfield in 2023.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Forreston Cardinals:
Forreston and head coach Keynon Janicke had an up and down 2022 season as the Cardinals posted a 5-4 regular season record, including two late regular season losses to Fulton (Week 7) and eventual Class 1A state champion Lena Winslow (Week 9). The Cardinals however got things in gear in the post-season and made it to the Class 1A quarterfinal round. Forreston made the 2022 Class 1A state playoff field and defeated St. bede, Hope Academy and Dakota before losing to NUIC rival Lena Winslow to end the 2022 season.
The biggest question I see for Forreston in 2023? Can the Cardinals reload and close the gap between themselves and you know who at the top of the NUIC conference as well as being the top dog in Class 1A? Forreston welcomes back an impressive 14 returning starters including 8 starters back on defense. I can see Forreston again being at the very top of the conference race and could go 9-0/8-1 this coming regular season.
