Share

CSNChicago.com is your top destination on the road to the 2015 high school football season. CSN preps contributor “Edgy” Tim O’Halloran will take a look at 100 teams in 100 days, counting down to the opening night kickoff on Aug. 28.

School: St. Rita

Head coach: Todd Kuska

How they fared in 2014: 7-5 (1-3) Chicago Catholic League Blue Conference; The Mustangs made the 7A state playoff field and beat Plainfield East before losing to eventual state champions Providence Catholic in second round action.

Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Mustangs reload in 2015?

Names to Watch: OL Drew Walega is a senior starter, who has size (6-foot-6, 265 pounds) and experience and will draw more recruiting looks this fall. LB Mike Tiernan is a senior captain, who has game along with a 33 ACT test score.

Biggest holes to fill: Who can step up and fill  some key openings, in particular at quarterback, this summer?

EDGY's Early Take: The Mustangs will have some experience back, however St. Rita is in search of some key play makers in particular in the offensive skills department. Expect a state playoff caliber level team again in 2015.
