Lincoln Railer Football Senior Spotlight: Second Installment

 

[October 24, 2024]  The LCHS football team hosts its last game of the regular season on October 25 against Jacksonville. Since only teams with five wins or more are eligible to compete in the playoffs, the game is important in impacting the postseason aspirations of the 4-4 Railers. However, the game will also be Senior Night for the program.

To recognize their contributions to LCHS football, Lincoln Daily News is printing profiles of all 16 seniors involved with the Railer football program this year. Today is the first installment in the series; more profiles will be published Thursday and Friday to highlight all the senior players and managers who are part of the team.

Thank you to all the seniors involved in the program for their contributions this year. And thank you to the families of those seniors for helping support their seniors throughout the years as well as during this football season. Best of luck to all the seniors on their future endeavors.
