On this episode of the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast, Everybody’s Favorite Coach — Coach Maneman — is joined by Noah Krapfl of the Wahlert Catholic Golden Eagles, one of the most exciting two-sport athletes in the area.
Noah helped lead Wahlert to a state football championship in 2024, then turned heads on the baseball diamond by helping the Golden Eagles reach the state championship game. What made his story even more remarkable was that he came seemingly out of nowhere in baseball to earn All-State honors.
This fall, he picked up right where he left off — earning Defensive Player of the Week in Week 1 after racking up two interceptions and a sack in a huge win over Western Dubuque.
In this episode, we cover:
🏈 Noah’s role in Wahlert’s state title run on the football field
⚾ His breakout baseball season and rise to All-State status
💪 What it meant to start this season as Defensive Player of the Week
🔥 Balancing two sports while competing at a championship level
🙌 Noah’s goals for the rest of 2025 and his message to Golden Eagle fans
