Impact Player for Burlington Central Senior OL/DL Jake Borman. Borman, who played on both sides of the football inn 2019 will again be asked to pull double duty in 2020. TheRockets will need Borman especially on defense going against several of the super heavyweight power run programs in the FVC in 2020.

EDGY's Quick Take on the Burlington Central Rockets: The Rockets (3-6) and second year head coach Brian Melvin will look to make more improvements from 2019, the programs first season in the rugged Fox Valley Conference. If the Rockets can get a big season from senior QB/DB Mark Ganziano on the offensive side of the football along with finding a way to slow down the generally run heavy offenses in the FVC, then game on. Getting out of the gates well early in 2020 is an absolute key with a back loaded regular season schedule awaiting Burlington Central.
