A Promising Outlook for 2026
The Oakfield-Alabama/Elba football program finished the 2025 campaign with a disappointing 1-8 record, but the experience gained from a young roster and a series of injuries has set the stage for a turnaround.
Seniors Brayden Jachimowicz and Brady Werth will anchor the squad, each bringing a strong presence at wide receiver and defensive secondary respectively.
Sophomore quarterback Carson Shetler returns with varsity experience, adding a layer of stability to the offense.
Two sophomore running backs, Alex Ohlson and Jayden Blew, are expected to make an impact after scoring multiple touchdowns as freshmen.
Coach Tyler Winter emphasizes collaborative practices and a cognitive approach, aiming to sharpen the team's strategic thinking on the field.
The 2026 schedule features pivotal matchups against Canisteo-Greenwood and the defending Class D champion Avon, providing early tests for the revamped roster.
With a focus on teamwork and continued development, the team hopes to improve on last season's record and contend for a playoff berth.
