Biggest Question facing Metamora this fall?
Can the Redbirds continue to build upon head coach Jared Grebner's spring season success? Metamora posted a 34-1 record this past spring on Grebner's first go around as head coach. The Redbirds graduated a strong senior class, yet the Redbirds also welcome back a very solid group of experienced starters who will be able to help keep Metamora at the top of the Mid Illini and beyond this fall.
Impact Player for Metamora:
Senior TE/LB TJ Reising is a multi-year starter and a key leader for the Redbirds who will be asked to again provide leadership and production on and off the field. Junior OL Ben Wallace is a name to watch this summer and fall. Wallace has terrific size and tools and will draw increased recruiting looks and attention.
Game to Watch this Fall? Week 5 vs Dunlap
The Eagles are always in the front of the pack in the Mid Illini these days along with the Redbirds and Washington. Metamora lost to Dunlap in the spring season and look for the Redbirds to get a good idea of just how good they are this fall after this huge Week 5 Mid Illini showdown.
