John Carroll running back Garrett Barnes (12) runs with the ball during a game between the Homewood Patriots and the John Carroll Cavaliers at Cavalier Stadium on Friday, Aug. 23, 2024 in Birmingham, Ala.
Monday marks four days until the John Carroll Catholic High School football team kicks off the 2025 season.
John Carroll quarterback Garrett Barnes will lead the Cavs onto the field Aug. 22, as they play at Homewood in the Battle of Lakeshore to begin the season.
Barnes is coming off an up-and-down first season as the John Carroll starting quarterback, and head coach Will Mara has had high praise over the summer about the senior signal-caller. He will attempt to help the Cavs rebound from a 3-7 campaign last fall.
Preparation is underway for this year's award-winning Under the Lights preseason magazine. Stay tuned to Homewood Star and to the Under the Lights social media channels to follow along, as the 2025 season approaches.
