Top Impact Player for Sandburg in 2017? Senior OL Alex Lunak. Lunak is a multi-year starter for the Eagles and will lead an experienced offense this season for Sandburg.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Eagles find some help on the defensive line? The Sandburg defense welcomes back 7 returning starters but just one linemen returns in senior Moe Jumah.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Sandburg Eagles?
Sandburg and then first year head coach Scott Peters just missed getting to 5 wins last fall and that could change this season. The Eagles welcome back 12 starters (5 offense 7 defense) yet the schedule also ramps up this season and includes Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way East and H-F plus a tough Week 1 opener at Lyons Township.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for the Sandburg Eagles? 5-4/4-5
