Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Bulldogs continue their strong run in the south suburbs and beyond?
News
Names to watch: OL Joe Carpenter (senior is a leader for the Bulldogs) and LB Anthony Quinn (junior is an impact player for the Bulldogs speedy defense).
Biggest holes to fill: The Bulldogs graduated standout All State quarterback Muhammad Hasan-Rogers (Illinois State) who was a four-year starter for Richards.
EDGY's Early Take: While some of the headliners are gone, this is still a very solid team and program that will again challenge in 6A this fall.
