Thoughts on area teams:
PGP - Entire backfield returning including 1000+ in rushing yards from Devon Johnson. Should see a good mix of run and pass from the Saukees this season. Defense will be the question as there are some holes to fill from last year and the Saukees struggled at time on the D last season. Prediction - 8-1 or 9-0 is not out of the question.
Pleasant Hill/Western - It's time for this group of upperclassman to step up and show everybody what all the hype is about. This is a very talented team with a tough WIVC schedule. They should be able to have a good run/pass balance that will make them successful offensively. Prediction - 6-3
Brown County - A team that returns a lot from a playoff squad last year. They may be able to take advantage of their pure athleticism in most games in the regular season. Don't be surprised if they run the table in the regular season and go a couple of rounds into the playoffs.
Illini West - Return some Very talented skill players from a State Championship squad. Offensive and Defensive line will be the question, but as we all know, someone will step up and fill those spots - Prediction - 9-0 or 8-1
West Central - It's been a rough couple of years for the Cougars on the football field. Is this the year they finally turn it around? They have plenty of athletes. It'll come down to staying healthy and getting some help up front - Prediction - 3-6 or 4-5
CSE - Another team with a bunch of talented skill players and questions in the line. If they can get blocking, look out for the Panthers - Prediction - 6-3
I think it's going to be a fun season of football in this part of Illinois. Let's hear your thoughts...
