2016 Kankakee Kays Summer/7on7 plans
Richards, June 25
H-F, July 15
Did you know...that Kankakee's best ever IHSA football season came in 2008? Kankakee lost in the Class 5A state semifinal round to Wheaton St. Francis 21-20.
Top Impact Player for Kankakee in 2016? The Kays will look towards senior QB/ATH Malcolm White to lead the Kankakee offense this season. White could play multiple positions if needed.
Biggest Concern heading into 2016? Overall numbers and depth since the Kays have just 6 starters back (3 offense/3 defense) in 2016.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2016 Kankakee Kays? It's been a bit since the Kays have been in the state playoff field but the programs seems to be making strides under HC Omar Grant. If the Kays can reload in some key spots they have a chance to improve upon it's 3-6 record a year ago.
