So, as part of my “way too early” coverage, I wanted to highlight some of the top 1-2 punches you schools expect to see in 2025. In my “Dynamic Duos” series I will be featuring some of the best tandems in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is part four of our new “Dynamic Duos” series:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='402140' first='Brenden' last='Ruth'] </em></strong>(2026 - S) &amp; <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1086182' first='Wyatt' last='Liebentritt'] </em></strong>(2027 - S)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although the Sky Hawks will see a great 2025 class depart for graduation, there are still several great pieces in place for their title defense next season. One position that looks to be a strength is the secondary, namely at safety where Skutt Catholic return two elite players who can limit big plays over top. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='402140' first='Brenden' last='Ruth'] had a solid first season with Skutt after transferring from Seward, recording 28 tackles on the year. Liebentritt had a breakout year as a sophomore with 40 tackles, two TFLs, and an interception.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23236161/678d74a5b404acd8a0dd2e45' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e8cfa8306ef"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19542040/674921a06e40c524fcb79c74' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e8cfa83072a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='533088' first='Seth' last='Kraegel']</em></strong> (2026 - WR) &amp; <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='487619' first='Carson' last='Hermann']</em></strong> (2026 - WR)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Griffins were a team that I picked in the preseason to take a huge step forward and they more than delivered on that. I think they'll continue that positive trend with another big year, which will be aided by keeping their two leading receivers last season in juniors [player_tooltip player_id='533088' first='Seth' last='Kraegel'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1815944' first='Carson' last='Herrmann']. Seth paced Gretna East with 35 receptions for 741 yards and eight receiving touchdowns, with 8 tackles, a TFL, and an interception on defense. Carson actually had the most receptions on the team with 37 catches for 422 yards and six receiving touchdowns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18269504/67360d9dfe54bea501a386f2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e8cfa83074f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18143806/6736bb3d364a9f3dc096ef43' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e8cfa83076d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1085162' first='Will' last='Manning'] </em></strong>(2027 - LB) &amp; <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='644078' first='Colton' last='Tucker']</em></strong> (2027 - LB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is scary duo that is set to punish opposing offenses for the next couple of years.
