HIGH ISLAND CARDINALS

2019 Record: 4-4 Overall; 1-2 District

3rd Place in District 12-1A-I

 

After 8 years in the 6 man ranks, the High Island Cardinals will again test the waters of the 11 man game.  Coach Matt Miracle does do some with a loaded senior class which will make sure that there is plenty in the cupboard this season.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Matt Miracle

Assistant Coaches: Aaron Kuehler (Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers/Wide Receivers), Mike Previte (Running Backs/Defensive Line), Ron Dupree (Quarterbacks/Defensive Line), John Carlisle (Offensive Line/Defensive line)

 

OFFENSE

High Island will bring another slot Y into the 11 man game.  Sophomore quarterback Jordan Grubbs will lead the Cardinal attack but look for sophomore Blake Walker to also get action behind center.  The Cardinal rushing attack should be potent as senior halfbacks Julian Blume and Joey Lester, junior tailback Dade Brindley and senior fullback Brandon Isaacks will be in the backfield.  Look for sophomores A.J. Lowe and Quinten Malinchalk to also see time in the High Island backfield.  Walker and sophomore Jesse Palmer will line up at tight end and senior Kyle Hall will line up out wide to pace the Cardinal passing attack.  Seniors Zenn Taylor and Junior Stewart will lead an offensive line which will also get contributions from senior lineman Ben Borden, juniors Jon-Michael Samonte and Donovan Thrash, sophomores Konnor Andress and Canyon Revia and freshman Caden Parea.

 

DEFENSE

The Cardinal 3-3 stack will make its appearance in the 11 man game.  Up front, Taylor and Thrash, from their defensive line spots, will pace a defensive line which get contributions from Parea, Samonte and Revia at nose  guard, as well as Andress at defensive end.  Blume. Borden, Lester, Isaacks and Malinchalk will be the main cogs at linebacker with Palmer and Walker also seeing time there.  Brindley and Grubbs, from their safety positions, will lead the Cardinal secondary.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Hall will do the place kicking for High Island with Grubbs doing the punting.  Brindley will be the primary returner.
