By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Last year: 3-6 overall New Vandercook Lake High School football Coach Caleb Baird is looking to build a foundation for years to come at VCL. He is hoping a “young coaching staff” can help turn things around for the Jayhawks. Baird is the fourth head football coach in the last four years for the Jayhawks. He is a 2012 graduate of Vandercook Lake, was an intern for football and basketball at Eastern Michigan University, and served as an assistant coach under Jake Greer at VCL last season. Baird said the 2022 Jayhawks will use the motto demand more - on and off the football field. “Family has always been important to me,” Baird said. “In life we have to hold our family just as accountable as we hold ourselves, hence the motto demand more from yourself, your team, and your coaches.” Key returnees for the Jayhawks include Even Crum (lineman), Zachary Green (lineman), Kyle Cavins (wide receiver/running back), and Marissa Dahn (lineman). …

Key football players for Concord High School include, from left, Logan Lamb, Brian Helms, Abe Reiniche, head Coach Max Clark, Masen Smith, and Ja’Vion Taylor.   Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Last year: 3-6 overall Concord High School head football Coach Max Clark said 8-man football is built on speed. That will do just fine for the Yellow Jacket team in 2022. Concord participated in the Tri-River 8-Man Football League last year, posting a 3-6 record. Clark said the Yellow Jackets spent most of the season learning how to adjust defensively. “The game is a lot faster and speed makes a big difference,” Clark said during the JTV Media Days. “We want to provide the young men of Concord a great football experience.” Clark said the school moved from 11-man football last year to 8-man football due to declining enrollment. Concord expects graduation classes of 50 or less for a number of years.  Key returnees for Concord include all-conference receiver Mekhi Wingfield, Anthony Evans (quarterback/defensive back), Logan Lamb (linebacker/running back), Ja’Vion Taylor (defensive back/running back), Collin Thompson (running back/end), Rollen Smith (lineman), Abe Reiniche (lineman), Masen Smith (lineman), Brian Helms (lineman), and Lewis Fritz…
