It's been a long summer, but fear not Cardinal fans, this is the last week with no Cardinal Athletics!
We are off and running next week as @WheelingU_FB and @WheelingRugby kick-off the 2025-2026 athletic season #GoCards
Kavan was a valued member of our program for over a year. A talented young man who worked hard, was a good student, never had a discipline issue off the field. Quiet, determined, tough physically & mentally. Solid in all phases. We are hoping and praying for the best outcome.

RicoKnows Hidden Gem Alert:
2025 WR Dre Saunders (@SheLuvDre20)
6'0, 160lbs, NAIA/DIV3 Caliber
I've reviewed 2025 WR Dre Saunders from Union Local High School in Belmont Ohio. The young man looks like a Division III or NAIA offense's dream. His routes are clean, but limited by his HS scheme. The young man wins with the ball in his hands. His competitive drive shines through the tape. He ranks No. 8 on my hidden gem list among WRs, but that's because our WRs this year have been elite.
