2025 HS Football Previews – Royall Panthers
1 month
Royall Panthers
2024 Record: 5-5 (4-3 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Head Coach: Josh Board (2nd Year 5-5 Record)
Mike’s 2025 Projected Record 5-4 (4-3 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Players to Watch: RB/LB Jett Bender RB/LB Jason Johnson QB/DB Braxton Board OL/DL Kolten Morrisette OL/DE Lucas Peterson OL/DL Trenton Frye OL/LB Dylan Velazquez
Team Preview: Jackson Bender will be tough to replace for the Royall Panthers but they return his younger brother Jett Bender (83-372 5tds) from last year and hope he can fill his brothers’ shoes. Jason Johnson (44-221 1td) is also back in the Royall backfield. Braxton Board (1-1-0-3 0tds) will take over the reins at quarterback. Board is a strong athlete. Royall has one of the strongest offensive lines they’ve had in a while although they need to replace offensive linemen of the year Karter Olson. Kolten Morrisette, Lucas Peterson, and Dylan Velazquez all return to the offensive line. Defensively Jett Bender, and Lucas Peterson will attempt to lead the defense. Royall had an undefeated middle school team last year and the freshman class could make an instant impact including WR Bently Rozek who is about at 6-3 frosh. Royall’s biggest strength might be its coaching. Josh Board is the head coach but welcomes plenty of experience to his staff that boasts former football head coaches Kole Huth and Roland Lehman who comes over from Mauston. Royall should be in the mix this year in the Scenic Bluffs Conference. It will depend on how they replace Jackson Bender, Carter Uppena, and Karter Olson.
Key to Success: Being tough. Royall has some ability and some big strong looking kids but they have to play tough to open up holes for the running game. Royall will also need some young kids to mature fast.
Game to watch: Week 5 Friday September 19th home vs Hillsboro
This game was a classic last year as Royall blew a late lead on Hillsboro’s homecoming night. Royall might need to win this game to have a shot at the conference championship and to make a playoff spot.

2025 HS Football Previews – Necedah Cardinals
1 month
Necedah Cardinals
2024 Record: 0-9 (0-7 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Head Coach: Sebastian Smith (1st Year 0-0 Record)
Mike’s 2025 Projected Record 0-9 (0-7 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Players to Watch: Phillip Heintz Eli Horak Brady Cross Jaren Hansen Nevada Faulkner
Team Preview: The Necedah Cardinals have not won a game since 2021 and are trying to change that under first year head coach Sebastian Smith. Jaren Hansen is a big strong kid who can drag defenders for a couple yards in the running game. Phillip Heintz, Brad Cross, and Eli Horak are some strong athletes that should help Necedah. I think Necedah will continue to struggle this season but hopefully things are brighter on the horizon.
Key to Success: Growing the youth program. I will always say the key to having a successful High School program is to have a strong youth program. I think coach Smith needs to really help at the youth level and get young kids excited to play Necedah Cardinals Football.
Game to watch: Week 7 Friday October 3rd New Lisbon (Home)
This should be a good game and Necedah’s best chance to win a game possibly.

2025 HS Football Previews -Cashton Eagles
2 months
Cashton Eagles
2024 Record: 5-5 (4-3 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Head Coach: Jered Hemmersbach
Mike’s 2025 Projected Record 7-2 (5-2 Scenic Bluffs Conference)
Players to Watch: QB/LB Drew Butzler RB/LB Jack Christensen RB/LB Graham Hemmersbach RB/DB Landon Laufenberg RB/LB Owen Von Ruden K Connor Wilkinson OL/DL Mitchell Simonson TE Rory Mlsna
Team Preview: Cashton was a young team a season ago who had its ups and downs. With a year of experience under their belts theyre expected to have higher expectations this season. A big switch is last year’s QB Rory Mlsna switching from Quarterback to Tight End and Fullback Drew Butzler switching from FB to Quarterback. Butzler (2-2-0-49yards 0tds, 45-284 3tds) has a strong arm and should be a mobile QB as well. Cashton has a plethora of running backs with a balance of power and speed. Jack Christensen (159-984 13tds) is back to lead the backfield. Owen Von Ruden (26-111 0tds) is a solid fullback and Graham Hemmersbach (25-197 2tds) has a lot of speed at the wing back position. Landon Laufenberg could also see time at the wingback spot he had just 2catches but for 111yards both going for touchdowns last year. Mitchell Simonson and Kalen McCracken should anchor the O-line. Expect Cashton to have a stingy defense with a lot of speed and a strong line backing core. We will see how much Cashton has grown since last season but expect them to do big things this year in the conference.
Key to Success: Developing The Tight End Spot. Cashton returns a lot but lost both their tightends from last season. Mlsna moving to tight end should give them a boost with his size and strength. Cashton likes to run to the edges making those tightends have to earn their keeps in the blocking game.
Game to watch: Week 9 Friday October 17th at Royall
Royall got a big victory over Cashton last year. Cashton will look for revenge and could be playing for a conference championship in Week 9 of their season.
