A New Era of Optimism
The Blue Devils of Davenport Central High School finished the previous campaign with a solitary victory, a result that left the program yearning for a turnaround.
Head coach Alex Berg has staked his reputation on a modest but concrete target: finish above the .500 mark, which would mean at least four wins in a ten‑game schedule.
The roster blends a core of juniors and seniors with a handful of sophomores, while younger players have been thrust into defensive roles, adding fresh legs to the line.
What sets this group apart is the chemistry forged through off‑season transfers; many of the newcomers have become friends away from the field, a bond that translates into tighter on‑field coordination.
Senior Ricardo Bellamy, who anchors the defense, stresses that communication has become a daily habit, allowing the unit to react swiftly to opponents’ schemes.
Equally confident is senior TK Morrison, who speaks of collective effort and work ethic, declaring that this year is theirs to claim.
The season officially opens on the road against Dubuque Senior on Friday, September 28, 2026, a test that will gauge how quickly the newfound cohesion translates into wins.
