With the 2020 season, a lot of these young men were thrown a curveball no one could predict as some got to play and others did not have those opportunities. I wanted to give back to the city where I was born, by putting together a ” Preseason All-Madison Team”.
I have watched plenty of film from all of the football programs that call Madison home: the Madison East Purgolders, Madison La Follette Lancers (my dad & family’s alma mater), Madison West Regents, Madison Memorial Spartans, and the Madison Edgewood Crusaders to build this 2021 Preseason All-City team for the city of Madison. One thing I did of course take into consideration when looking at the film is not everyone had a 2020 season, so I looked at their 2019 film to make sure I did not miss anybody. I used my best eyes for those that did not have 2020 film to determine just where their potential will be at in the 2021 season, and if there’s one thing I know, those young men who did not have a 2020 season, are chomping at the bit to get practice and their season’s started in 2021 and their potential is uncharted territory for us as far as scouting as we enter the 2021 season. I hope you enjoy these teams as much as I enjoyed putting them together!

Fountain was the toughest decision I had to make between the first and second teams. Do not be surprised if this young man cracks the first team by the end of the 2021 fall season.
