Top Impact Player for Maine West in 2017? Senior TE Matt Kentgen. Kentgen is a good sized kid (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) with impressive ball skills. Kentgen also has the overall frame and length to add more weight and size at the college level. I fully expect Kentgen to add several fall recruiting looks.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Warriors reload on the offensive side of the football in 2017?
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Maine West Warriors?
Maine West has made visible improvement over the past few seasons under head coach Jason Kradman including adding more overall numbers to the program. The Warriors are getting closer and closer of getting to a 5 win season and this program will again challenge getting into the IHSA state playoffs in 2017. The excitement level within the Warriors football program has never been higher.
