School: Maine West Warriors

Head coach: Jason Kradman

Assistant coaches: Steve Piha, Mike Smith, Mike O'Brill, Russ Swenson, Dan Wilson, Matt Boswell, Tony Manicke 

How they fared in 2015: 3-6 (1-4) Central Suburban South. Maine West failed to qualify for the IHSA football playoffs.

Biggest storyline in 2016: Can the Warriors find some answers on both sides of the football, especially in the offensive skills department?

Names to watch this season: RB/ATH Marteen Robinson, DL Mike Milewski

Biggest holes to fill: The Warriors welcome back just three starters on defense.

EDGY's early take: Maine West posted a 3-6 record last season, its best record since 2003 (3-6). If the Warriors can fill in at a few key spots they have a chance to match or even surpass its 2015 record this fall.
