Biggest storyline: Can the Tigers find success in the newly created DuKane conference in 2018?

Names to watch this season: DE Isaiah Dietzman-Brown and OL Billy Winfrey

Biggest holes to fill: The Tigers will need to replace 10 graduated starters on the offensive side of the football. 

EDGY's Early Take: Hall of Fame Wheaton South head coach Ron Muhitch’s Tigers will be young in 2018. They will try to turn their recent fate around in the new Dukane Conference. Look for the Tigers’ defense (especially up front on the line) to be an early strength. The younger offense will continue to develop this fall. Getting off to a good early start in their two non-conference games (Metea Valley and Lockport) is an absolute key for the Red Grange Tigers in 2018.
