I'm a catholic league guy through and through but I'm interested in what I'm seeing outta CPS athletes. How good can this years Simeon team be? I see a lot of D1 talent on the offense but can defense match?

What about Solorio? Obvious stud QB and few other D1 guys. How many good teams could we see out the CPS this year?

Both will be state playoff teams in 2017. Simeon is loaded big time especially in the skills but line play? Graduated it's entire starting OL I believe from a year ago. Solorio has one of the Top QB's in the nation in Quincy Patterson and also has some strong skills back...I still wouldn't overlook Phillips FYI

I kinda figured Phillips was a no brainer, especially if they end up 3A. Didn't solorio get a top ATH from St. Laurence as well? Wondering how these teams will be defensively

Solorio lost 2 major playmakers to graduation in Robert Chayka (WR/DB) and Justin Members (RB/LB) which will hurt QB Quincy Patterson a bit forcing him to shoulder more of the load. The trio of Chayka/Members/Patterson accounted for somewhere in the range of 90% or more of Solorio's offense. If the Sun Warriors can get some production out of someone other than Patterson then they have a favorable schedule and should be state playoff qualifiers.

Simeon is led by returning ATH Jayshon Jackson who can be a one man show. If Simeon can get some consistent QB play allowing Jackson to stay at WR then the Wolverines offense will have some major big play potential. A major question mark however is Simeon having to replace their entire O-Line due to graduation. Known for have massive replacements in the pipeline. I'm guessing they may be ok. Defensively the Wolverines have relied on aggressive, attacking athletes which they tend to have in abundance. Week 2 vs Cass Tech Detroit will go a long way in determining how successful Simeon will be this year.
