Q&A with Grand View Christian quarterback Judah Lock
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
\u201cWe will take another step in the right direction! Our program is building it, our defense should get better this next season, a lot of guys that are hungry.\u201d

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
\u201cWoodward-Granger, they have a really nice group of 2026\u2019s and are solid across the field on both sides of the ball.\u201d

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
\u201cNodaway is not a great team, but Trenton Warner is a beast. I believe he has a great chance to be the HWT champion wrestler this season, and I also believe he may be headed to UNI. Kane Mahler-Moreno is a really good football player for W-G. Dudley from Ogden is also a really really good football player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q&A with Grandview Christian wide receiver Brayden Hoben
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
\u201cI feel we can keep building on the positive step forward we took this season. We lost a few seniors but have a good core group returning and some younger guys ready to step up and take on bigger roles.\u201d

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
\u201cWoodward Granger and South Hamilton have been our toughest games on the schedule over the last two years since moving up to 1A. Big physical athletic teams that look to continue to be challenging matchups.\u201d

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
\u201cNot sure on this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
