Did you know...that former Yorkville head coach Bob Williams (1987-1990 and 1993-2001) is back as an assistant coach under Terry McCombes at Minooka this season?
Top Impact Player for Yorkville in 2017? Senior LB Chris Calloway (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) will be an impact player for the Foxes in 2017.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Foxes reload upfront on the offensive and defensive line? The Foxes graduated it's entire starting defensive line from a season ago and bring back just one starter on the offensive line in senior Josh Slavin.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Yorkville Foxes? With Morris leaving the NIll Big 12 after this season will Yorkville need to search for a new conference home? Regardless Yorkville welcomes back a decent amount of experienced starters for the 2017 season.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for Yorkville? 5-4/4-5
