Highlights of 2024: The 2024 season was a testament to our team’s resilience and growth. We started the year 0-5, with heartbreaking losses, including two 1-point games and two other one-score battles. Despite the tough start, we never wavered.

We turned the season around with four straight wins, including a historic first-ever victory over Southern Columbia. Along the way, we secured huge wins against Milton, Central Columbia, and Midd-West, proving our ability to rise to the occasion.

Though the season didn’t end the way we wanted in the playoffs, the way we finished has ignited a fire in this program. The future is bright, and we are hungry to build on our momentum heading into next season.

Looking ahead to 2025: With only six graduates from last season, we feel great about the experienced core returning for 2025. Our entire offensive and defensive line—Xzavier Croll, Nate Criswell, Mason Schneck, Chace Aikey, Jack Whittaker, and Landon Tucker—will be back to anchor the trenches. QB Chad Martin returns to lead the offense, along with key playmakers Jackson Griffith, Landen Murray, Landon Moser, J.P. Marr, Jackson Marr, Cole Reibsome, and Kaiden Kmett.

Adding to this foundation, we’re excited about our incoming 8th-grade class of around 25 players, coming off a successful season of their own. Their energy and talent will help build on the momentum from last year and continue strengthening the culture we’re establishing at Mifflinburg.

The future is bright, and we’re hungry to take another step forward in 2025!
