Biggest storyline: Can the Mustangs make some noise in the DVC in 2017?

Names to watch this season:  Senior OT Bryce Effner (Penn State) Senior LB Ryan Malone

Biggest holes to fill: The Mustangs will need to reload at a few key spots this summer including quarterback and on the defensive line. 

EDGY's Early Take: Metea Valley will look towards it's offense and especially four returning starters on the offensive line which includes Penn State verbal commit Bryce Effner (6-foot-5, 290 pounds). Look for the Mustangs to come out and battle all comers in the DuPage Valley Conference.
