Lowell’s football tradition is no secret, and first-year head coach Casey McKim said that history shapes expectations. With state championships and multiple sectional titles in the last three decades, the Red Devils enter 2025 eager to honor that legacy.
“Lowell has been the most successful program in northern Indiana over the past 30 years,” McKim said. “The cupboard is not bare at all. There’s a lot to build from, and I’m excited.”
McKim, who arrived from New Prairie, said energy has been the team’s biggest change. “Kids are willing to do whatever is necessary,” he said. “Stacking those days of effort creates progress.”
Kolwinski, a senior leader, said that responsibility weighs on him in the best way. “I know I’m the guy people look toward,” he said. “My demeanor and attitude matter. I want to be the best for the guys around me.”
Schneider added that he drives himself to mirror his brother’s work ethic. “He was one of the hardest workers I know,” he said. “I try to live up to that, but I also bring energy by keeping teammates up.”
