Top Impact Player for Elmwood Park in 2017? Junior RB Luciano Martino. Martino, who was part of a young skills group in 2016 for the Tigers will be asked to help carry the load in the Elmwood Park running game this fall.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Tigers reload upfront in the offensive line?

The Tigers and head coach Dylan mack welcomes back a strong group of starters this season. If the Tigers can find some replacements upfront this fall this team could challenge for a state playoff spot.
