Last year, Grant High's Bulldogs went 9-0 during the regular season and Wauconda's Bulldogs made the playoffs for the first time in a long, long time.
This year, it's Waukegan's Bulldogs' turn.
The word in The Locker Room is that the team's offensive line is huge and the team will be able to pass the ball all over the field.
The three areas of concern are: 1) running back; 2) linebacking; 3) kicking.
To fix No. 3, Waukegan's coach should be working with the school's soccer coach NOW to find someone who can kick field goals and kick off into the end zone.
As for finding quality linebackers, that's why Waukegan will probably play a lot of 28-27 games this fall.. We our side having the 28, of course.\

JB you must bleed PURPLE! Weiss Field is Lake County's answer to Wrigley Field and it will be good to see them competitive as they were back in the days of the Suburban Leaugue. But huge in high school usually means SLOW. Without a quality back those lineman have to be perfect fundamentally and that won't happen. The CSL has too many well balanced teams that can take advantage of the Bulldogs weaknesses. 5-4 JB and I'm sorry to say an away playoff game.
