The Audubon Wheelers football team is hoping some good depth can bring them back to their winning ways in 2023. The Wheelers played for a state championship in 2019, only suffered one loss in 2020, then went to the semifinals in 2021. From that success has come some big standards as you can imagine for Audubon football and that’s why they were disappointed with a 4-6 mark in 2022. Audubon head coach Sean Birks said that has made the team hungry this offseason.

Audubon had quite a bit of youth on the field last season. Coach Birks said the added experience from last season should pay off, starting with the quarterback Aaron Olsen.

Olsen threw for 641 yards and 8 touchdowns with 7 interceptions last season, while running for 1,159 yards and 23 scores. Coach Birks is excited about the talent that will surround him this season.

Coach Birks said the mental side of the game is where he expects a lot of growth for his squad.

The Wheelers open up at home against a familiar rival in the CAM Cougars on August 25th.
