BENJAMIN HUNNIUS is known for his leadership and old-school toughness at EHS & UIndy. He’s the player who makes the big hit and rallies his teammates to overcome any situation. Ben is a player/person that every coach wants on his team. Ben, you make us all PROUD TO BE WILDCATS!
HAPPY B-DAY COACH SUMNER!Coach is a leader who puts his family first, loves his community and is the heartbeat of EUREKA FOOTBALL. We appreciate your dedication, sacrifice and the love you show our sons every day. Nothing but respect for this 365-year-round coach & his family!

Wildcat CARTER DAVIS is our program’s 1st QB to play D1 football. He is loyal, tough, and loved by his teammates. Carter is a dual-threat QB who loves to burn defenders deep and/or will lower his pads to extend a series. WILDCAT NATION loves our homegrown Eureka boy!

JOSH BAKER is aggressive, fearless, and one of the strongest humans to ever walk the halls of EHS (370 CLEAN PR). Baker started on varsity during all 4 years at EHS. Although talented, Josh out-worked everyone and refused anything less from his teammates. We’re proud of you BAKE!
Lineman JUSTIN WATSON is the perfect representation of EUREKA FOOTBALL. He’s strong, athletic, dominant in the trenches, but more importantly, is intelligent, humble, and lives for family. TRUMAN STATE hit gold when they added Watson to their offensive line.

Congratulations to JUSTIN SELBERT (2023) for receiving STUDENT OF THE MONTH! Justin is a leader-by-example who maximizes every opportunity in the classroom and on the field (4.4 GPA / 33 ACT). He is one of many reasons our 2022 OFFENSIVE LINE is considered the best in the state!
This is why I love EUREKA FOOTBALL. Most of us grew up dreaming of wearing EUREKA on our chests, representing our community just like the warriors before us. The Swingle brothers (Drew and Collin) now represent our program, traditions and dreams of fighting for the purple/gold!
