We are still working on the schedule. I believe we are competing in one summer scrimmage.
Impact Player for Crete Monee
Crete Monee and head coach John Konecki once again has a pretty loaded roster for 2024 and the Warriors have several top names to watch over the next few seasons. Crete-Monee sophomore DB Jayden Marshall (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) is a speedy, twitchy athlete who is already holding a handful of FBS offers this spring and who's recruiting stock will just continue to rise. Marshall has track sprinters speed, impressive overall football skills and plays with spewed along with a high football IQ.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for the Warriors? Keep an eye on Crete-Monee 2026 WR D'Arion Yarbrough along with sophomore WR Dorian Patterson and both are tall, lanky athletes who no question have a ton of upside.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Crete Monee Warriors
Crete Monee had a very young team in 2023 and several key underclassmen names gained valuable varsity experience that should pay off starting this fall for the Warriors. Crete Monee welcomes back 15 returning starters (9 offense 6 defense) including having talent and experience at several key positions. Crete Monee always plays a loaded non conference slate and will again get tested pretty much right out of the gates in 2024.
The biggest question for the Warriors heading into 2024?
Can Crete Monee develop enough overall depth and build up the programs numbers to make a deep post-season run this fall? Crete Monee under John Konecki has simply been one of the winningest programs in the South suburbs and also one of the top Class 6A programs state wide. The rise of Southland rival Kankakee has no question made things a bit more interesting for the Warriors but this remains a top tier program that I feel will have a punchers chance at contending for a possible state title again this coming season.
