Griswold Football is Motivated for upcoming season

August 16th, 2024 by Asa Lucas

The start of the 2024 football season is less than two weeks away for the Griswold Tigers and they’re ready to move on from their (1-8) campaign a year ago. One of the biggest strengths for this year’s Tigers team will be the amount of depth they bring back since they had no players graduate last year. Second year head coach Seth Lembke is excited with the plethora of experience his team will have.

The leadership coach Lembke has seen from his seniors has been one positive take away from summer workouts and practice.

Griswold’s offense will be assisted by senior quarterback Bode Wyman who threw for over 1200 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. Next to him in the back field will be senior Zane Johnson with 5 touchdowns last season and sophomore Owen Johnson who picked up 334 yards rushing in 2023.

Defensively Griswold will be looking to tackling leader (46.5) senior Wyatt Petersen and sack leader (4) sophomore Owen Johnson for help with a defense that was allowing 54.5 points per game. Coach Lembke is positive with the talent that his team has stored.

Coach Lembke was candid about the recent struggle that Griswold football has had in the last decade with winning football games. Still, he believes in the capability of the 2024 Tigers team to change that.
