After the 2018 season, Madison Memorial quarterback Jason Ceniti went all in with his throwing, weightlifting and film study.

Ceniti attended winter football developmental and summer showcase camps and decided against playing prep baseball this spring, focused on building his craft for his senior season this fall.
“I thought if I want to be the best player for my team, the best man for my team, I have to keep doing this (work), so I set aside baseball,” Ceniti said.
The accomplishments for Ceniti and the Spartans were considerable last year in football coach Michael Harris’ first season.
Madison Memorial shared the Big Eight Conference championship with Sun Prairie and Ceniti was a first-team all-conference selection at quarterback, with Sun Prairie’s Richie Gilles.
Highlight reel moments included dramatic come-from-behind victories over Sun Prairie and Middleton. Ceniti threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, including the winner, against Sun Prairie and delivered a “Hail Mary” touchdown pass to Dryden Schaefer on the final play against Middleton.
“I won’t ever forget those two games, man,” said Ceniti, WisSports.net’s second-ranked senior quarterback in the state entering this season. “Those will go down forever. … Those two games, we were down multiple times. It just showed how we work and how we never give up, no matter what the stakes are.”
But a first-round playoff exit against Sussex Hamilton left the 6-foot-1, 195-pound Ceniti and his returning teammates wanting more.
“We have a lot of great guys returning,” Ceniti said. “We are really excited for this year. We have put in a lot of work. And all that hard work that we are putting in now will pay off this season. I’m really excited to see how it works.”
A rematch between the conference co-champions kicks off this season when Madison Memorial and host Sun Prairie play at 7 p.m. Friday at Ashley Field.
“It’s going to be awesome,” Ceniti said. “Week one. Their place. Under the lights. It will be electric. I can’t imagine a better stage.”
Ceniti will direct an offense that includes running backs Kam Marshall, who is WisSports.net’s seventh-ranked senior running back, and Kabaris Vasser and receiving targets Max Hoeser, LeKwan Lewis and Garret Bergum.
Harris described his roster as “raw,” faced with a lot of work to do.
