Impact Player for the Hoopston Area/Armstrong Potomac Cornjerkers
The Cornjerkers welcome back a handful of key starters this summer with varsity experience. Keep an eye on HAAP senior RB/DB Ayden Larkin who will be asked to again provide both leadership and production in all three phases of the game this coming season.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Hoopston Area/Armstrong Potomac Cornjerkers
Hoopston Area/Armstrong Potomac and second year head coach Carrick MacDonald is looking to improve upon the Cornjerkers 2-7 season in 2023. HAAP is one of the state's oldest football playing schools going back to the 1897 season. Needless to say, HAAP has retained one of the most unique nicknames in the State of Illinois with Cornjerkers.
The biggest question for the Cornjerkers in 2024?
Can the Cornjerkers reload and replace 15 graduated starters from the 2023 season and continue to win games this fall? The program is excited about it's up and coming underclassmen classes and hopefully some key names from that group emerge this summer and help this program build up the program even higher this fall.
Preseason Ranking? None for now.
