Top 5 Fort Wayne Area High School Football Games of 2026

Brice and DC are already thinking about the fall. On this episode of the Sideline Sports Show, the guys jump the calendar forward to the 2026 high school football season.

The two went back and forth on which matchups have the right mix of rivalry history, playoff implications, and roster talent to make for exciting matchups. Expect plenty of disagreement, but a shared excitement for what's shaping up to be a loaded slate.

DC was on the ground at the prospect camp hosted at the University of Saint Francis, and he came back with several notes. He breaks down which underclassmen stood out, who's trending up heading into the season, and what the camp setting revealed that you can't always see on Friday nights.

This ties directly into DC's 2028 Top Prospect List, published last week. He walks through how that camp performance reshuffled — or reinforced — where some of those names landed on the list, and which players are putting themselves on the radar early in their high school careers.
