The Sterling Golden Warriors are gearing up for the 2026 high school football season, looking to build on a 6‑4 overall record and a 5‑2 mark in Western Big Six Conference play.
Defensive Focus
Head coach John Schlemmer is emphasizing the defense, especially stopping the run, while also taking advantage of the experience his returning players bring to high‑stakes games.
Seniors Quincy Maas and Brady Berlin say the team’s chemistry is a major factor, describing their bond as the foundation for a potent offense that features one of the best receiving corps in the last decade.
Season Opener
The Warriors open the campaign on August 21 with a home game against Metamora, a matchup that will test the cohesion and depth they have cultivated during the offseason.
