Why They’re Dangerous in 2025
Blazing Speed & Athleticism
Coach Sawyer confidently says, “Speed. We should be fast on both sides of the ball.” That contagious athleticism will define both offense and defense.
Offseason Focus
This summer’s focus has been strength and conditioning—players are pushing each other in the weight room, bringing unmatched energy to practice.
Red-Zone & Technical Precision
Still, the team is sharpening red-zone execution, and tightening up the offensive line and secondary, key to turning yardage into points.
Veteran Youth & Leadership
Despite only three seniors, they’ve emerged as vocal leaders, raising the bar for this young and driven squad.
Season Outlook & Key Matchups
The Teutons kick off their 2025 campaign on Friday, Sept. 5, at Hutchinson-Trinity Catholic, followed by marquee battles against Sterling (Week 3) and a crucial district opener versus Remington (Week 4).
These opening games are critical not just for wins—but for momentum, confidence, and playoff positioning.
The Inman Teutons enter 2025 with a potent combination of speed, experience, and burning hunger. Retaining nearly their full offensive and defensive output, led by standout seniors and an electric junior QB, this team is built to make waves.
With dedicated training, refined red zone execution, and bold leadership from their seniors, they’re primed to flip the script—and make a serious state championship push. Watch out, 1A District 7—Inman is coming.
