Impact Player for Aurora Christian:
Senior OL/DL Braden Hunter (6-foot-5, 280 pounds) is a two way starter and an impact player on both sides of the line for the Eagles. Hunter will again be asked to provide a ton of reps and will basically never leave the field in 2022 for Aurora Christian.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Aurora Christian Eagles:
The Eagles (6-4) made the 2021 IHSA Class 1A state playoff field and lost to power Lena Winslow to end the 2021 season. Look for Aurora Christian to again compete for the Metro Suburban Red conference crown along with getting back into the Class 1A state playoff field this fall. If the IHSA decides to allow a true 1-32 seeding this fall (it could be on hold for the 2022 season per the latest rumblings from IHSA) the Eagles would no question benefit from playing a more balanced playoff slate in my opinion.
