Columbus makes a big-time addition

The Columbus Cardinals are currently ranked second in the state for Class 3A, and they just got better.

The Cardinals have officially added the reigning Six-Man Football Player of the Year Grayson Rigdon to their roster.

Rigdon played for Strawn and Benjamin High School, leading both teams to three consecutive State Championships in 1A Division II. Rigdon’s latest feat saw him lead Benjamin to back-to-back State Championships including one in 2023 before making the decision to make the jump to 11-man football in his senior season at Columbus.
