They share a last name, a hunger for sacks, and a mission to dominate under the Friday night lights 💪. In this power-packed sibling spotlight, the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast sits down with Julien and Jude Kramer, the fearsome brothers behind Beckman Catholic's recent rise in Class 1A football.

Julien, last year’s DASP Defensive Player of the Year, led the entire area in sacks as a junior and continues to wreak havoc as a senior captain. Meanwhile, his younger brother Jude—just a sophomore—has exploded onto the scene as a key running back and one of the top pass rushers in the region after finishing third in sacks last year.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What it’s like playing football side-by-side as brothers

• Their earliest football memories

• Backyard rivalries and who wins the head-to-head matchups

• The energy and culture shift that’s fueled Beckman’s resurgence

• The electric atmosphere of their Game of the Week win over Cascade

• Role models, team goals, and what lies ahead after high school

Whether you're a fan of the Blazers or just love a great story of grit, brotherhood, and Friday night lights, this episode is a must-listen. 💚💛
