Biggest holes to fill: Can Barrington find a replacement for standout graduated quarterback Johnny Davidson?
EDGY's early take: Barrington will indeed have to reload in a few spots, yet the talent level here remains impressive. Barrington welcomes back three starting offensive linemen along with seniors' Perkins (Navy), Holley (Navy) and wide receiver/tight end Josh Babicz.
