After a 5-4 record in 2023, the Hillsboro Trojans have slowly crept their way back to winning after a tough go-around in 2022.
For senior Lincoln Wichert, he knows that it is now or never and wants to make a huge splash in his senior season.
“My biggest strengths are the leadership I bring on and off the field, elusive route running, deceptive speed, outside-of-frame catch ability and my ability to read the defense,” Wichert said.
Wichert is coming off his first season as a starter, where he accounted for 262 receiving yards on 25 receptions with three touchdowns. The senior was named to the Central Kansas League second team as a wide receiver and named as an honorable mention defensive back.
Now, the senior has even higher goals for himself and the team.
“My personal goals are to have a 500-yard, six-plus touchdown season,” Wichert said. “My team goals are to end with a winning record and make it to the sectional round of the playoffs.”
With no plans of playing at the next level, you can bet that Wichert will give his all in every play to help lead his Trojans to a deep playoff push.
