Did you know...that Metea Valley will be playing just it's 9th season of varsity football in 2018? The Mustangs have made the IHSA state playoff field just once back in 2014.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2018 Metea Valley Mustangs? The Mustangs remain in the reshuffled DuPage Valley conference and will again face a stacked regular schedule slate. However, the Mustangs welcome back 11 returning starters including 7 back on defense and will be more prepared for the rugged road this fall.

Keep an Eye on: Metea Valley senior WR/SS/OLB Julian Wlodarczyk. Wloddarczyk is already verbally committed to North Dakota State and will be asked to play on both sides of the football this fall.

EDGYTM's Way Too Early Regular Season record prediction for the Metea Valley Mustangs? 3-6/2-7
