The Raiders will need to replace some beef upfront, especially on the defensive line. Glenbard South will need to replace it's entire starting defensive line from a season ago while the offensive line is searching for three new starters this summer.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Glenbard South Raiders?

The Raiders and head coach Ryan Crissey no doubt have the makings of yet another state playoff caliber team this fall. Look for Glenbard South to rely on it's offense heavily right out of the gates. The schedule also looks to be back loaded so it's a good chance that the Raiders can get off to a good start this fall.
