TBA CPL Playoffs

Biggest storyline: Can the Sun Warriors win the Illini Land of Lincoln conference and make a deeper run in the IHSA state playoffs?

Names to watch this season: Senior QB Quincy Patterson, junior WR Keeshawn Chambers, senior WR/DB Messiah Travis

Biggest holes to fill: The Sun Warriors have a ton of talent on board this season but will need to develop some depth this season.

EDGY's Early Take: Solorio features one of the top quarterbacks in the nation in Patterson (Virginia Tech commit) and the Sun Warriors have lots of weapons to feature this fall. Definitely keep an eye on this team as a nice IHSA state playoff sleeper pick in 2017.
