Did you know...that Maine South has won 75 consecutive Central Suburban South conference games?

Top Impact Player for Maine South in 2016? While the Hawks have a big time name in Michigan State verbal commit Kevin Jarvis, I would have to call senior QB Nick Leongas as a big time key for Maine South.

Biggest Concern heading into 2016? Can QB Nick Leongas get the Hawks offense clicking again in 2016? The quarterback position in the Maine South no huddle shotgun spread is extremely vital.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2016 Maine South Hawks? It's pretty hard to ever pick against Maine South these days especially within the Central Suburban South conference. If the Hawks can get it's offense up to speed AND survive one of the toughest first three games in the state, the Hawks will be just fine. Did I mention how tough those first three games are?
