2018 West Aurora Blackhawks Summer/7on7 plans
Wheaton South/Red Grange and hosting a 7on7 tournament on July 13th
Did you know...West Aurora has now made the IHSA State Football playoffs for the past three seasons (2015/2016/2017), a first in school history. West Aurora last made back to back state playoff appearances in 1983/1984.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2018 West Aurora Blackhawks? West Aurora and head coach Nate Eimer have been on a recent roll and look to haver the makings of another state title contending playoff team this fall. West Aurora welcomes back a ton of talent and experience and have a very good chance at potentially running the table in the regular season.
Keep an Eye on: West Aurora has several standout names who are attracting college recruiting attention. Sophomore DT Denver Warren already has several major Power 5 offers. Junior QB Will Tammaru along with senior RB JaQuan Buchanan and senior WR Moshe Rogers are just a few of several talented Blackhawks to watch this coming season
