Geneva football faces uncertainty heading into 2026 season

Summary

Geneva football enters the 2026 season under head coach Don Shymske with several key positions in question after losing notable players from last year's 9-3 team. The departure of Ashtabula County Player of the Year Bryce Peet and other key contributors leaves Shymske restructuring his roster. With only five starters returning, he aims to integrate new players into the existing run-oriented Wing-T offense. Senior linemen Jacob Clemens and Braden Stark will be crucial, alongside returning senior linebackers Owen Davis and Brody Hamm on defense. As the season approaches, the team's goal remains a return to the playoffs and continued development of winning habits.
