Top Impact Player for Hinsdale South in 2017? Senior QB Justin Kolzow. Kolzow will be asked to lead the Hornets passing attack this fall and Kolzow has good size and has drawn recruiting looks this summer and fall.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Hornets reload upfront on the offensive and defensive lines?

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Hinsdale South Hornets?

Hinsdale South had a slight down year in 2016 missing out on the state playoffs and not posting a 9 win season for the first time since 2013. Look for Hinsdale South to be back in the thick of things in both the West Suburban Gold along with getting back into the IHSA state playoff field.
