Did You Know That...graduated Cary-Grove all state RB/LB Ty Pennington is a preferred walk-on at Arkansas this fall?

Top Impact Player for Cary-Grove in 2017? Junior QB/DB Quinn Priester. Priester is another multi-positional starter for the Trojans who could also be asked to play defense as well for the Trojans this fall. Priester is the perfect athlete to run the Cary-Grove ground hugging option offense this fall.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Trojans replace the graduated overall production from Ty Pennington? Now we all know that football is a team game, yet Pennington was an impact player for the Trojans for three seasons on the varsity level on both sides of the football. Pennington was also the clear cut team leader as well for the Trojans.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Cary-Grove Trojans?

Cary-Grove will again be in the hunt in the Fox Valley and beyond this fall. Cary-Grove will literally have a very strong and experienced offensive line which is huge upfront as well. If the Trojans can reload a bit on defense and find a few backs, they have a chance to challenge big time for the FVC crown.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for the Cary-Grove Trojans? 8-1/7-2
