SALT FORK, Ill. (WCIA) - Salt Fork football is gearing up for game one of the Les Siefert era.

Siefert enters his first year as the Storm's head coach, but has been on the staff for nearly 20 years.

"Everything [has] changed around here," Salt Fork senior running back Ian Church said. "Everything's gotten a lot better, everything's a lot more strict."

"Our kids are just hard workers, are excited about the season," Siefert said. "We're ready to hit somebody else. We're tired of hitting each other."

Conditioning within the program has taken a step up ahead of the 2025 season.

"We really haven't been pushing in the weight room that much the past couple of years," Church said. "But this year, like there's a lot of weight room. Like it was put up very high on the leaderboard."
