Did you know...that Streator's 3-6 record last season was it's best since 2008? Second year head coach Brian Hassett has a wealth of experience after leading Prairie Central for 15 seasons before taking over at Streator.

Top Impact Player for Streator in 2016? Junior QB John Beckendorf saw some playing time in 2015 and if Beckendorf continues to progress the Bulldogs have enough weapons to make some noise this fall.

Biggest Concern heading into 2016? Overall size upfront along with overall numbers and depth.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2016 Streator Bulldogs? The Bulldogs made nice progress in head coach Brian Hassett's first season and can that momentum carry into this fall? The positives are an experienced team back for 2016. The negative? Guidinbg through a loaded Interstate 8 Large division which includes the likes of Coal City, Plano and Manteno.

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