Share

CSNChicago.com is your top destination on the road to the 2015 high school football season. CSN preps contributor “Edgy” Tim O’Halloran will take a look at 100 teams in 100 days, counting down to the opening night kickoff on Aug. 28.

School: Leo

Head coach: Mike Holmes

How they fared in 2014: 4-5 (1-3) Chicago Catholic League White Conference); The Lions failed to make the IHSA state playoff field.

Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Lions win the CCL White and beyond?

Names to watch: LB Leroy Henry (senior leader on defense has big-time college potential) and OL/DL Chris Winters (newcomer has size [6-foot-6, 255 pounds] and college-level tools).

Biggest holes to fill: The Lions' non-conference/crossover schedule is brutal and includes Nazareth Academy, Ottawa, Bishop McNamara and Mount Carmel.

EDGY's Early Take: The Lions welcome back 13 starters (five offense, eight defense) and if they can survive some of those crossover games, they can be a dangerous team if they make the state playoff field.
