(8-26-2025, 6:25PM): – After just three players with varsity experience and a 3-6 season in 2024, Concord High School comes into this season optimistic, and looks to “focus on the process”.

Head Coach Max Clark is returning for his 13th year with the Yellowjackets and his 17th on the staff.

Key returning players include senior QB Gavin Riske who was an all-state player with an outstanding 2024 campaign. Other impact players include Easton Woolworth (LB), Adam Miller (C), Christian Castro (G), Tyler Rundall (WR/LB), Landon Lynn (TE/DB), and Trenton Frazer (RB/DB).

Max Clark will handle the offensive playcalling duties and new defensive coordinator Clint Trippett joins the CHS staff this season. This will be Trippett’s first coaching job and was an all-state player for Albion College and Grand Valley State University.

Concord comes into this season with an all new coaching staff and more varsity experience within this roster. HC Clark says this year will be a big “coming out party” for lots of juniors and they also have 18 freshman players within the program.

Goals for the 2025 season include a winning record and making the playoffs. It will be quite the test as CHS had one of the toughest schedules in the state last year, and compete in a tough SCAA 8-Man Conference.

Concord opens the 2025 season at Litchfield.
