Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Redskins replace a handful of key graduation losses in the offensive/defensive line?

Names to watch: RB/LB Keagan Sobol - one of the top returning running backs to watch in 5A this season - and OL/DL Ryan Niewinski - a standout senior two-way starter.

Biggest holes to fill: Offensive and defensive line.

EDGY's Early Take: The Redskins welcome back 23 seniors from a 5A state quarterfinal team in 2014. If Morris can fill in a few key spots, it has the potential to make another deep run in 5A...if it can escape its annual tough conference slate.
