Names to Watch: OL Drew Walega is a senior starter, who has size (6-foot-6, 265 pounds) and experience and will draw more recruiting looks this fall. LB Mike Tiernan is a senior captain, who has game along with a 33 ACT test score.
Biggest holes to fill: Who can step up and fill some key openings, in particular at quarterback, this summer?
EDGY's Early Take: The Mustangs will have some experience back, however St. Rita is in search of some key play makers in particular in the offensive skills department. Expect a state playoff caliber level team again in 2015.
