Did you know...that Iroquois West won the Class 2A state football title in 2003. Unfortunately the Raiders have been back to the state playoffs just once (2006) since that state title run.
Top Impact Player for Iroquois West in 2016? The Raiders have a solid core of two way starters back in 2016. Senior QB/S Corey Schunke will be asked to help lead the Raiders offense improve from a season ago.
Biggest Concern heading into 2016? Can the Raiders defense find another gear and start slowing down opposing offense this fall? The Raiders were able to hang around most games in 2015 and having three defensive linemen back this fall should help.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2016 Iroquois West? The Raiders bring back a good number of players with experience from a season ago. One of the keys this fall will be getting off to a good early start before hitting conference play and facing the likes of Paxton Buckley-Loda and Momence.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for Auburn? 4-5/3-6
