A 12-1 Record came with some impressive wins against teams like Maine-Endwell, Owego Free Academy, and Waverly in the regular season. Finishing the regular season undefeated meant a playoff trip for the Blue Devils. They took down General Brown and CLWB before reaching the Championship matchup against Bronxville. The Section 1 squad was too much to handle, and the Blue Devils fell short 42-25. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Prospect</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1639382"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a763b051c044"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fry is a talented prospect who is part of the Blue Devils squad. He has competed at multiple showcases and events and is a massive strong RB. I have him as a potential star on his way up. Fry with the offensive system ran at Chenango Forks is a true threat who should be feared in every game. I am curious to see how the Junior performs this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">X-Factors</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2240529"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a763b051c0a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paske is the signal caller for the Chenango Forks squad and despite the offensive system, he has the potential to make a difference this season. When the Blue Devils do throw the ball, he showcases elite accuracy and a solid arm paired with a good IQ. I like his skillset and he can easily be an X-Factor for a competing team this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1347260"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a7671cff33b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Truesdale is a talented LB who is part of the Chenango Forks squad. He also competed at camps and showcases this spring and looked elite. I like his skillset as a hard hitter playmaker who can stuff up lanes in the running game. He has good sped and a muscular build which can also see him playing both sides of the ball this upcoming season for the Blue Devils. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1789821"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a7671cff3418"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is an incoming transfer for the Blue Devils this season transferring from Chenango Valley. He can play across the field in my eyes, and I like his mainly as a TE, LB where I can see him getting a ton of reps this season. Joining a competing team, I expect him to help the Blue Devils win this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Names To Know</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Class</td><td>Position</td><td>Notes</td></tr><tr><td>Evan Slocum</td><td>2027</td><td>OL/DL</td><td>A talented two way player who showcases good strength and speed as a lineman.</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='2240530' first='Brady' last='Murphy']</td><td>2027</td><td>OL/DL</td><td>Another talented two way lineman who should open up the run game and create pressure on the QB. </td></tr><tr><td>Keith Hayes</td><td>2027</td><td>QB/ATH</td><td>A depth piece listed as a QB, should provide depth and skill set to the Blue Devils. </td></tr><tr><td>Landon Butenko</td><td>2027</td><td>ATH</td><td>Another talented ATH who can have an impact in multiple aspects.

Dunagan is a two-way player who competed as a DB, and a WR through the spring showcase and camp period. I see Dunagan as an underrated and key piece for this Blue Devil squad and he should be a player to fear this season given his skillset. Watch out for Dunagan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Losses</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH-Justin Sampson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TE-Tyler Bryce</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH-Tate Bender</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ATH-Andrew Bunker</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL/DL-Tylor Fink</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schedule</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/ny/binghamton/chenango-forks-blue-devils/football/schedule">https://www.maxpreps.com/ny/binghamton/chenango-forks-blue-devils/football/schedule</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2026 Outlook</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Blue Devils are once again expected to have a dominant season, but a tricky schedule looms ahead. Touch matchups against Owego Free Academy, and Maine-Endwell lead the way. The Blue Devils also face the defending Class D Champions Tioga. With a 12-1 Season last year, and a returning group of players on the roster, can Chenango Forks repeat the success they found in 2025? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
