Varsity Football

The 2022 version of the MICDS Football Rams entered the season in a brand new place. Due to the MSHSAA success multiplying factor, the MICDS Football program was placed in Class 5 for the first time in over 100 years of Rams football history. Having combined for an overall 19-2 record the previous two seasons as a Class 4 participant gave the Rams a head start into the season. Season highlights include a 45-3 win over John Burroughs for Homecoming, giving the Rams a six-year winning streak versus the Bombers and a 122 to 10 score differential the past three years. In the State Quarterfinals, a scrappy Cape Girardeau Central team traveled to O’Hara Stadium and beat an injury-decimated Rams team 10-14, giving the team a final season record of 11-2. Steven Hall ’23 leaves MICDS as the All-Time Leading Rusher and the All-Time Leading Scorer. Winston Moore ’23 is the top five career athlete in both categories and broke the single-season scoring record this past season with 190 points. Cortlin Dalton ’23 leaves MICDS among the all-time leaders in total tackles, and Cam Lester ’23 and his eight interceptions are among the best individual seasons in that category. The following Rams earned All-Conference First Team: Hall, Moore, Nate Schuckman ’23, and Davis Schukar ’24 represented the offense, and Dalton, Tyler Petersen ’23, Carter Enyard ’24, Lester, and Luke Allgeyer ’25 represented the defense. Second Team honors include Harrison Mandell ’23, Dorian Reddic ’23, William Carpenter ’24, Peyton Simon ’25, and Tyler Tschudy ’24. In addition, Marcus Coleman ’23, Peter Herzog ’23, Devyn Rodgers ’23, Brian Gould ’25, Adrian Ritchey ’25, and Miles Coleman ’26 were named Honorable Mention selections. Class 5 honors include Lester on All-State First Team, Hall, Dalton, Allgeyer, and Schuckman on Second Team, and Moore on Third Team.
