(Neola, IA) — Tri Center stayed healthy last year on their way to a Class A championship but 2025 has been anything but. Now Head Coach Steve Peterson has to deal with an injury to Junior QB AJ Harder and he is not expected to play this Friday. Harder went down with a shoulder injury last week in a 56-28 loss to Treynor. Enter Cael Witt — the wide receiver does have some quarterback experience says Peterson
Peterson has confidence in Witt’s abilities and will find a way to put him in a position to make plays
Moving Witt from wideout to QB may hurt the passing game and force the Trojans to run the ball more but Peterson does not seem to think so
Peterson is hoping to get some players back from injury this week — he says there is a chance that TE/LB Jayden Johnson could return to the line up. Despite their 2-4 record, Tri Center could be the #3 seed in the district if they beat Missouri Valley this week and then finish with a win over Shenandoah.
