Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Blazing Trojans develop its young starters in time to make the playoffs?

Names to watch: Senior quarterback/defensive back Cornell Washington has experience and is a leader. Running back/defensive back Bruce Busch is another two-way starter who will be asked to help lead this team in 2015.

Biggest holes to fill: Bloom graduated a terrific senior class this past spring, a group that helped lead the program's turnaround.

EDGY's early take: While Bloom graduated a ton from a season ago, they still have enough talent in-house to compete for a state playoff spot this fall.
