Did you know...that Plano has missed the IHSA state playoff field just once (2010) since 2004?

Top Impact Player for Plano in 2017? Both senior SB Mauricio Perez and senior DB Alex Chaves are the lone returning starters from a season ago for the Reapers. Both will be asked to provide leadership for a young team in 2017.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Youth and inexperience. The Reapers graduated a terrific Class of 2017 group. The senior class was a group that included several multi-year starters and long term impact players.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Plano Reapers? No question the Reapers will need to reload in a big way this season. However, Plano always has talent and head coach Brad Kunz and staff no question will get this team up to speed sooner rather than later.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for Plano? 5-4/4-5
