2016 Loyola Academy Summer/7on7 plans

will be at NU on June 11, along with local versus New Trier

Did you know...that Loyola Academy under head coach John Holocek has won 10 or more games now for 8 straight seasons?

Top Impact Player for Loyola Academy in 2016? Whoever wins the quarterback race between Tommy Herion and Quinn Boyle. The Ramblers always seem to reload on defense year in and year out, yet if Loyola wants to repeat this fall the offense will need to step up and replace some keys. The Ramblers offense is a no huddle shotgun spread which relies on the quarterback making correct reads and adjustments and whoever winds up being the quarterback will need to hit the ground running.

Biggest Concern heading into 2016? Take your pick...it's either the overall loss of offensive skill kids to graduation or replacing the entire defensive line.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2016 Loyola Academy Ramblers? Loyola has been easily one of the top programs in Illinois for the past several season now. loyola has been able to reload year in and year out better than anyone and that should continue. Loyola will no question need to fins answers at some key spots, yet the talent seems to always be on hand.
