Did you know...that Machesney Park Harlem has made the IHSA state football playoffs for 10 straight seasons? The Huskies under head coach Jim Morrow have also been state playoff bound in 12 of his 14 years at Harlem.
Keep an Eye on: Harlem has a handful of young skill position names to watch this fall. Junior WR Jaylon Benson (5-foot-9, 175 pounds) along with sophomore QB James Cooper Jr. (6-foot-0, 195 pounds) both return this fall with varsity experience along with being a year older. Look for the Huskies to rely on it's young and talented skills group[ this fall.
