Biggest storyline: Can the Broncos keep rolling under first year head coach Mike Bukovsky?

Names to watch this season:  Senior DL Jalen Slater Senior QB Matt Morissey Senior QB Brad Norgle

Biggest holes to fill: The Broncos will need to find some new faces to fill in on the defensive line with just senior DE Jalen Slater the lone returning starter. 

EDGY's Early Take: Montini Catholic will be just fine under longtime assistant coach Mike Bukovsky, who takes over from retired Hall of Fame head coach Chris Andriano. While the 2017 Broncos might not have it's usual star power compared to other Montini teams, this could wind up being a deeper team this season compared to other Bronco teams of the recent past.
