The Maxwell family has a special legacy within the East Central football program

The East Central High School football program is a way of life for the Maxwell family. "They're just great individuals," East Central coach Jake Meiners said. "I love every single one of them. And they're definitely a special part of East Central football." It's why this season carries extra significance for senior outside linebacker Dylan Maxwell and his father, Randy Maxwell, a longtime assistant coach who was a member of the 1993 state runner-up team.
