The Lincoln Cardinals are coming off a 6-3 season of a year ago. On paper, Lincoln could be very good.  A good freshmen class will have to fill some roles. 
 
Cardinals head coach Brad Drehle has been working the boys hard in the weight room this summer and it could prove to be the big difference in how they perform on the field.
 
Their biggest question mark will be whether the injury plagued Connor Lynde can reach his form from last year.

They have four seniors and seven freshmen headed up by Rebekah Helland. The 15 or so girls were busy this summer with camp, league play and fundraisers.

Freshman Class Could Play Big Part In Success For Lincoln Football Season

Every four years it would seem that Lincoln High School has an exceptional class of athletic freshmen. There are exceptions but 14-year old kids normally cannot compete on the same level as 17-18-year old young men. However, Class 1 schools, more or less, have to play their freshmen in order to put their best teams on the field.
 
Lincoln has an odd case this season as they only have one junior for varsity football and basketball in Xavier Smith.
