About this Article

The off-season decision by Cary-Grove coach Brad Seaburg to move senior Kyle Norberg from linebacker to fullback seems like a no-brainer in retrospect. After Norberg, a 6-foot-2, 211-pound Mack truck of a ballcarrier, led the Trojans to a second-place finish in Class 6A — a performance for which he has been named the honorary captain of the 2012 Daily Herald all-area team in the Fox Valley — it's easy to look back and say "the experiment," as Seaburg sometimes called the position switch, was a choice arrived at easily. Any such retelling qualifies as revisionist history.
