Football Fanatic Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Just helping to bridge the gap, as we eagerly await the next football season. Here is an early look at some of the top players each team has returning. 5 Key Returning Players For Each Team (ordered by final standings) Reitz QB Ben Davies (c/o '25) LB/FB AJ Coates (c/o '26) DT Will Friday (c/o '26) DB/WR Xavier Burris (c/o '25) DB/WR Nehemiah Madison (c/o '25) Memorial QB/P Matthew Fisher (c/o '25) WR/RB/QB Luke Ellspermann (c/o '25) LB Alex Broshears (c/o '25) RB Dylen Kendrick (c/o '26) WR Simon Schulz (c/o '25) North RB/KR Jason Rucker (c/o '25) RB Avier Mitchell (c/o '25) OL Ben Brasher (c/o '25) OL Brady Reeves (c/o '25) WR James Mercer (c/o '25) Vincennes WR/QB/K Luke Lindsey (c/o '25) LB Will Hambrick (c/o '25) RB BB McCrary (c/o '25) LB Blake Green (c/o '25) DE/RB Mac McCormick (c/o '26) Jasper QB Max Bueltel (c/o '26) DB/WR Caden Erny (c/o '25) FB/LB Eliot Smith (c/o '26) TE/WR Luke Heichelbech (c/o '25) RB Ross Dawkins (c/o '26) Castle RB Max McCool (c/o '25) LB Gavin Leach (c/o '25) DE Benny Patterson (c/o '25) DT Ethan Herman (c/o '26) WR Jersey Wells (c/o '25) Bosse WR Tizhaun Tomlinson (c/o '25) RB Antonio Floyd Jr. (c/o '25) DE Darion Fellows Jr. (c/o '25) TE/DB Landon Lloyd (c/o '25) OL/DL Jadrion Griffin (c/o '25) Mater Dei QB Tate Mallory (c/o '26) RB Ethan Stofleth (c/o '25) WR/DB Nolan Schickel (c/o '26) OL/LB Nate McDurmon (c/o '25) LB Noah Simmons (c/o '25) Harrison QB/FS Deshawndre Brown (c/o '25) WR/DB Kordavion Reed (c/o '25) LB/FB Jalen Sutton (c/o '25) TE Brooks Thomas (c/o '25) WR/DB Xavier Brooks (c/o '25) Central QB Hunter Broshears (c/o '26) WR/DB Elijah Pendleton (c/o '26) RB Devon DeJarnette (c/o '26) WR/DB Nate Cano (c/o '25) WR Kenyon Peoples (c/o '25) Quote

tango Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 Interesting note... MD's Mike Goebel was named NFHS 2022-2023 Football Coach of the Year. Memorial's Angie Lensing received the same COY award for girls soccer. These are national awards, so its pretty impressive for Evansville's Catholic high schools to have 2 winners in the same year. 3 Quote

Two national awards are easy for Catholic schools. That's effectively 3.5 national awards at a public school. 2 Quote

Returning talent has rarely been an adequate barometer for the good folks in Paradise and how they will finish in the SIAC IMHO. <>< Edited January 29, 2024 by Stickfish Quote

I don't expect much more than usual unless certain changes are made. And replacing a weapon like Harris will be a much bigger challenge than some may think. I think their running game will be fine with McCool back as long as he stays healthy and their front 7 on defense should be really solid. The QB spot could be a wildcard as a new guy will step into the spotlight, so we will just have to see how he adjusts. 2 Quote

Those two are pretty darn good anchors to return on a defense. Hadn't heard much recruiting news (offers/commits) lately so that's good to hear. Quote
TigerFan20 Posted January 30, 2024 Author Posted January 30, 2024 $16 million repairs are heading towards to the Reitz Bowl and Enlow Field for remediation Quote

The only thing I saw in a newspaper blurb was there was an issue with the concrete coatings that were applied a couple of years ago. I hope the Enlow turf is getting replaced as it has been 15 seasons. I suspect it will be because the turf at Reitz and Central was replaced in recent years. Did EVSC ever do anything about the lighting at Bowl? I was out of town for our game at the Bowl this year.. I wish it were possible to restore the interior areas of Enlow accessible from the top of the home grandstand. They have been gated off for decades. Quote

New turf for Enlow,Castle, Boonville, paint for Enlow and Reitz. I’m willing to bet Enlow gets done last. No home games for Bosse or Memorial first half of the season. Similar to a few years ago. I hate that. 1 1 Quote

Similar to a few years ago. I hate that. I imagine the rationale might be that the EVSC would lose more in gate receipts if Reitz was forced to host home games away from the Bowl versus the loss when Bosse hosts away from Enlow. Big difference in number of fans between those 2 schools. It kinda stinks for Memorial, but we don't really have any say (and shouldn't because we are just tenants). Our 2024 schedule is similar to 2020 (the last Enlow project) in that we only have 1 home game in the first 5 weeks anyway so it won't be much of an issue. Quote

Football Fanatic Posted February 6, 2024 Posted February 6, 2024 I also saw for Reitz - Hayden Summers committed to Ball State and Roland Vera Jr. committed to Kentucky Wesleyan. Two of the top receivers in their school history should shine at the next level regardless what position they play. Quote
