School: St. Charles North

Head coach: Robert Pomaczak

Assistant coaches: Dan Meyo (assistant head coach), Brian Flynn (offensive coordinator), Rick Magsamen (defensive coordinator), Tom Poulin (special teams), Jeff Petersen and Joe Nemetz.

How they fared in 2015: 7-3 (4-2) Upstate 8 River Conference. St. Charles North made the Class 7A state playoff field and lost to Benet Academy in opening-round action.

Biggest storyline in 2016: Is this the year that the North Stars win the Upstate 8 River conference?

Names to watch this season: WR/TE Griffin Hammer, OT Isaac Hawn

Biggest holes to fill: Can the North Stars find some answers in the defensive backfield after graduation losses from this past spring?

EDGY's early take: St. Charles North, with 13 starters returning, has continued to take positive steps under Pomaczak. North has the makings of doing some big things this fall, however playing both Batavia and Geneva on the road in Weeks 8 and 9 is an enormous task to say the least.
