Mid Peninsula High School’s football program, known as the Wolverines, is set to make a comeback in the 2026 season after a year of inactivity.
The program was shuttered in 2025 when only about ten of the fifteen initially signed‑up players turned up for the first practice, forcing the school to forfeit the season.
A Determined Roster
This year the team fields twelve players, including five veterans and a group of freshmen eager to lay the foundation for a sustainable program.
The schedule calls for six games, giving the young squad ample opportunity to gain experience on the field.
Focus on Growth
Rather than chasing a winning record, the coaching staff emphasizes participation, teamwork and discipline as the core objectives for the Wolverines.
Players speak enthusiastically about the upcoming season; sophomore quarterback Clay Peterson expressed excitement about returning to competition and the program’s potential.
Freshman center Wesley Reynolds highlighted the group’s work ethic, noting that every practice is approached with roughly 110 percent effort.
The rebuilding effort is framed as a long‑term investment in student‑athlete development, aiming to create a model that can be sustained for future classes.
Community members and alumni are watching closely, hopeful that the renewed interest will translate into a lasting football culture at Mid Peninsula.
