Maroa-Forsyth looking to maintain winning tradition

Maroa-Forsyth, a high school basketball team that has reached the state finals 10 times since 2006 under head coach Josh Jostes, is poised to maintain its winning tradition. Senior Caebrin Lee, known for his basketball prowess, will make his varsity football debut at wide receiver. Lee, who scored nearly 24 points per game last season, expressed his excitement about trying out football and aiming for a breakout season.

Jostes praised Lee's dedication and ability to pick up new skills quickly. The senior athlete missed the entirety of his junior year due to a spinal injury during his sophomore year of track. Meanwhile, quarterback Aiden Williams, a first-year starter, expressed his aspiration to be the go-to guy for his teammates, stating he wants to "move the ball around" and be a great teammate.

Jostes emphasized that success is not guaranteed by simply wearing the team's colors, but the hard work put in by the players throughout their summer has reaffirmed the team's commitment to going for a third-straight state championship title. The Trojans will open their pursuit against New Berlin with first-year head coach Robert Dunn.
