Future Bright For Young Football Squad

Flashing promise for the program’s future, a youthful Central football team rallied for a 6-4 record.

There were just 12 seniors on the roster, Central’s smallest senior class since 1994. Yet there were numerous young standouts, including record-setting sophomore wide receiver Sam Markham, who broke the season mark for receptions with 69 for 980 yards. He’s already fourth in career receptions (121) and eighth in career yards (1,630).

Eight players were named to the all-Iowa Conference team. Markham, sophomore defensive lineman Corbin Blythe, junior defensive back Zach Matter and junior kicker Aaron Marcellus were each first-team picks.
