MORGANTOWN – The 2025 Morgantown High School football season was nothing short of historical in many ways.
Culminating in the first state championship in two decades, the Mohigans produced a season that was magical from beginning to end, beginning with a dominant victory over Parkersburg in the opening week of the season and ending with a one-score triumph over perennial power Martinsburg in the Class AAAA state championship.
There for every moment on the field, and some off, was Garrett Cain, who founded Next Up Entertainment, to document the Mohigans’ campaign.
After the happenings of 2025, Cain, who is the nephew of MHS Athletic Director John Bowers, decided to showcase the Mohigans’ magical season via a documentary called “Just Us: A Morgantown Football Story”.
“I’ve always been involved with Morgantown High football in some fashion,” Cain said. “My uncle John was the head coach when MHS won its last football title in 2005, and I remember always being at games and being around the players and coaches all the time. My cousin Maddox (Bowers) was the starting quarterback here for a couple of seasons, and I always took videos of him and the team. Even when he left, I still wanted to be around for at least this season, and I’m glad I did.”
The first episode dropped on Wednesday, titled “The Arrival”. All episodes will be released and can be found on the Next Up Entertainment YouTube channel and other social media platforms. The remaining episodes will be released periodically throughout the summer.
Cain watched every single second of the MHS football season in 2025, either through his camera lens or with his own eyes. He says the moment he realized the team truly had the potential to make a run at the state championship, interestingly, came after a regular-season defeat to Martinsburg.
“There was a moment after that game in the locker room, and it will be shown in the documentary, where the coaches and players weren’t upset about the result or the way they played the game,” he said. “The players led the way, and all came together and realized how special a thing they had on the team, and they did what was necessary to right their wrongs and get better. You see a moment like that, and you know there’s something there that most teams don’t have.”
“I’m just thankful to the coaching staff and players for allowing me to come in and be a small part of it all,” Cain continued. “At the end of the day, it’s all about helping them get their names out there and showcasing the hard work they put in every day to be a successful program. I’m just a guy with a camera and a passion who loves Morgantown High School.”
