Rantoul 7 on 7
Mahomet 7 on 7
Impact Player for Rantoul: Senior DT Ben Hudson. Hudson was an all conference player for the Eagles in 2019 and will lead a more veteran defensive line this coming season. I also fully expect Hudson to also play both ways this coming season for Rantoul.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Rantoul Eagles: The Eagles posted a 0-9 record in 2019, yet this is a school that has overcome it's share of tragedies inside the school and the football program over the past two seasons with sudden deaths of two players. The Eagles and head coach Tom Hess is hoping that his experience back on both sides of the football will make a big different this coming season.
