School: Morris Redskins

Head coach: Alan Thorson

Assistant coaches: John Courter, John Wodzkiak, Bill Lauer, Keith Anderson, Greg Larsen, Matt Seidel, Danny Hoffman, Derek Johnston, Brian Kasher, Jon Lanning, Justin Zink, Ryan Clauson, John Lyle, Tyler Hartley

How they fared in 2015: 4-5 (0-4) Northern Illinois Big 12 East. Morris failed to qualify for the 2015 IHSA state football playoff field.

Biggest storyline in 2016: Can Morris reload and get back to it's winning ways this fall?

Names to watch this season: RB/LB Keagan Sobol, DB/RB Michael Feeney, OL/DL Nathan Korte

Biggest holes to fill: The Redskins bring back just one starter on the defensive line and one starter at linebacker this fall.

EDGY's early take: It's not very often that Morris is home come state playoff time. Look for the Redskins offense to be an early strength and if the Redskins can survive a tough early and late schedule they will be back in the state playoff field in 2016.
