Parker Ward steps up to enhance Petoskey Northmen offense

Summary

Petoskey junior Parker Ward aims to fill a critical role in the Northmen's offense for the 2026 season. After primarily playing cornerback last year and catching four passes for 75 yards, he looks to take on more significant responsibilities alongside returning quarterback Lukas Nemec. The Northmen lost leading receiver Luke Pike to running back, creating openings for offensive playmakers. Ward feels prepared, expressing confidence stemming from on-field experiences and summer training with teammates.
