Continue ReadingYesterday, the Coldwater Cardinals traveled to Grand Ledge to take on the Comets. Honestly, this game was extremely one-sided as Grand Ledge came out the blocks fast and never let up, leading to a 34-7 Grand Ledge Victory. Considering the score, this match provided plenty of offensive fireworks. Here are a few offensive standouts!
I was surprised to see Shawn Foster Shawn Foster 6’1″ | 165 lbs | WR Grand Ledge | 2023 State MI at QB throughout the majority of the game, but all in all he performed well.
During warmups, he threw plenty of good, accurate balls and looked comfortable.rnOnce the game started, he immediately looked uncomfortable, hesitant, and even made a turnover-worthy throw on the first drive.
Then, he got comfortable and really got into a groove. There was an option play that hit big, then a few nice completions, and Grand Ledge quickly scored and the offense was clicking the entire game.
I was impressed with the versatility Foster brought to the game. If protection broke down, Foster was able to escape while still weighing his options downfield. He threw a few impressive balls and his QB game reminded me a lot of Reqez Nance Reqez Nance 5’10” | 180 lbs | QB West Bloomfield | 2024 State MI of West Bloomfield.
Mason Stocker

Stocker was subbed in during various points of the game, not just in garbage time.
I thought Stocker performed well! Maybe not as dual-threat as Foster, but Stocker still came in and played a good pro-style game. He has good fundamentals and was able to command the offense.
I’m curious to see how Stocker is utilized at the QB position in the future. If Stocker can improve throughout the season, I see massive potential with him at QB while Foster plays his usual Slot position.
Teddy Williams Teddy Williams 6’6″ | 235 lbs | TE Grand Ledge | 2023 State MI is a prospect I’ve always known about but never actually seen in person. He’s everything I expected out of a DII Tight End. First and foremost, Teddy is a good blocker and uses his size to his advantage. He also had a great TD catch in the end zone where he used his physicality to win a 50/50 ball.

I was heavily impressed by Konieczny’s performance as he was target #1 all night and made plays with ease.rnA big body WR/TE, Konieczny fits extremely well in the already big Grand Ledge offense. He was able to get space against a poor secondary and when needed, used his size to win. He had a great 55-yard TD (shown in the tweet above) and a near leaping endzone grab.
Colleges should keep their eye on Konieczny throughout this season. He’s a big body with great size, and nice hands.

Coffing was the only bright spot I saw on the Coldwater offense. This kid played his heart out and took a beating with a ton of carries. When he had any time to throw the ball, it looked good. I’m hoping the offense as a whole gets in a better groove to better suit Coffing’s strengths.
