Top Impact Player for Riverside-Brookfield in 2017? Senior QB Hunter Hughes. Hughes, who was a top performer in 2016 for the Bulldogs will again be asked to lead a Bulldogs team with state playoff aspirations in 2017.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Bulldogs reload on the defensive line this summer? The ;lone returning starter back is senior Jimmy Mizura.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Riverisde-Brookfield Bulldogs?
R-B and head coach Brendan Curtin has done a very good job of building up the Bulldogs into a consistent winner over the past three seasons. I look for R-B to again challenge for the Metro Blue conference title and to again make it's fourth consecutive state playoff appearance in 2017.
