Shamarion Prude’s move to fullback proves shrewd for Cary-Grove: McHenry County football notebook

Cary-Grove is no longer Shamarion Prude’s new school, but contributing to a playoff team is, in fact, something new for the linebacker-turned-fullback.And playing November football is something that never gets old for the Trojans.“Absolutely not,” coach Brad Seaburg said Saturday after his team beat King 43-14 in a Class 5A second-round playoff game at Eckersall Stadium on Chicago’s south side. “It’s a new team, new kids, new goals. They want to sustain the culture, sustain the tradition of the program. It’s their turn, and we’re just fortunate enough to be a part of it.”Prude feels fortunate to be in the position he is today. The senior transferred to C-G from Woodstock North after his freshman year and mainly played JV ball the past two seasons. This year, the 6-foot, 200-pounder has emerged as a key player for a team that will play a state-quarterfinal game Saturday for the fourth year in a row.The sixth-seeded Trojans (9-2) will host No. 18 St. Francis (7-5) at 1 p.m. at Al Bohrer
