Top Impact Player for Warrenburg-Latham in 2017? Senior QB/S Dionte Lewis. Lewis, who is one of 9 returning starters back this fall from the Cardinals 2016 quarterfinals team will be asked to lead the Cardinals attack this season.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? The overall conference strength. While Warrenburg-Latham brings back a ton of starters this fall, so does most of the Central Illinois Conference. Just getting into the state playoffs will again be a challenge for everyone including the Cardinals in the Illinois Central Conference in 2017.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Warrenburg-Latham Cardinals?
Definitely keep an eye on this team in Class 1A this fall. The Cardinals bring back a ton of experience and talent and this is a program that also has some much needed depth if required.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for the Warrensburg-Latham Cardinals? 7-2/6-3
