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.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for the Riverside-Brookfield Bulldogs? 7-2/6-3
