23 seniors gives Saint Joe a lot to be excited about as the Huskies look to navigate a difficult regular season slate & a loaded sectional. Saint Joe was 6-5 last season. They open the year at home against Lakeland. They’ll host Marian in Week 4 in our Sports Michiana Game of the Week.

West Noble is 20-3 over the last two years, but has no postseason hardware. Veteran coach Monte Mawhorter hopes this is the year in Ligonier, thanks to seniors like Trey Shisler and Xavier Yates.

A painful semistate loss and the experience of coach Keith Kinder have put “fight” in Mishawaka for 2025. Ken Clemente and Lucas DeWilkins help take us into the weeds of what’s behind the team’s motivation. The Cavemen were 11-3 overall and finished 2nd in the Northern Lakes Conference with a 5-2 league record. Mishawaka opens the season hosting Marian August 22nd. We will broadcast Mishawaka at Penn in week 2 in the Sports Michiana Game of the Week.

Veteran coach Tom Wogomon takes over at Lakeland, hoping to boost the Lakers to the next level. It doesn’t hurt to have a pair of all-state candidates in Brayden Holbrook and Keyan Arroyo. The Lakers were 5-5 last season. They open the season at Saint Joseph on August 22nd.

A 5-6 record for Cory Stoner in his first year at Fairfield serves as a foundation. Now the idea is to build and the seniors say consistency is the key. The Falcons open the season by hosting Goshen.

Justin Bogunia wants to prove you can go home again. Returning at the end of May to Bremen, Bogunia discovered the “Long Green Line” has a mighty good line, which could be a difference maker for the Lions. Bremen was 7-5 last season. They open the season at Busco.

New Prairie has a new head coach in Ryan O’Shea, who comes over from Lakeland. For O’Shea, his first day of fall camp at New Prairie felt “like Christmas”. But playing on Thanksgiving is the goal for the Cougars! New Prairie was 9-4 last season and have reached regionals four straight seasons. The Cougars open the season at arch rival LaPorte.

Warsaw’s Class of ‘25 reached the 5A state finals and “set the standard”. With those players gone, a new group of Tigers has a daunting challenge before them…meeting that standard. Warsaw was 10-4 overall last season. The Tigers open the season at FW Snider. We will have Warsaw hosting Concord in week 5 in our Sports Michiana Game of the Week.
