In this powerful episode, Kolton sits down with Noah Dzierwa, Michael Gonzales, and Cade Limes, the three senior varsity football captains who led their team to the state Final Four during one of the most uncertain seasons in high school sports history - the COVID season. With mostly empty stands, constant schedule changes, safety protocols, and the pressure of representing their school in unprecedented circumstances, these captains carried far more than playbooks and practice plans on their shoulders.

Our conversation goes beyond wins and losses and honoring the five year anniversary of the 2020 season. The captains reflect on how leadership evolved when traditions disappeared, how team culture was built while physically distanced, and what it took to keep morale high when the future of the season was never guaranteed. They share behind-the-scenes stories from quarantines, canceled games, and last-minute adjustments, as well as the mindset that pushed them to persevere all the way to the Final Four.

This episode highlights resilience, accountability, and brotherhood—showing how these young leaders rose to the moment and turned adversity into one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, student, or fan, this is a conversation about leadership under pressure and the lasting impact of a season that will never be forgotten.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrated it, and we also hope you have a great New Year.
