Outlook: The finish could mirror last year’s three-way tie for first as Evanston, Waukegan and New Trier look strong. Glenbrook South must replace 18 starters.
1993 state qualifiers: Glenbrook South (second round), Evanston (first round).
Quotable: Maine East coach Gabe Corey, whose team snapped a 27-game losing streak last season: “I’m trying to brainwash the heck out of them, to make them see they can overcome adversity.”
Players to watch:, David Christie (TB, 5-11, 170), Maine East; Neville Brown (LB, 5-10, 222), Jean Jourdain (RB, 6-0, 185), Marcus White (QB, 6-3, 190), Evanston; Joshua Kolar (OT/LB, 6-4, 219), New Trier; Frank Kriesant (DE, 6-0, 200), Aaron Schmidt (QB, 6-4, 175), Glenbrook South.
Key games: Evanston at Waukegan, Oct. 8; Evanston at New Trier, Oct. 22; New Trier at Waukegan, Sept. 24.
Predicted ’94 finish: Evanston, Waukegan, New Trier, Maine East, Glenbrook South, Niles West.
