Did you know...that head coach Gene Nudo s n the Arena League Hall of Fame?
Top Impact Player for Fenwick in 2017? Senior wide receiver Mike O'Laughlin is a standout two sport athlete (football/basketball) who has verbally committed to West Virginia for football. .
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Friars defense carry the offense early this season? Fenwick will welcome back just two starters on offense in senior OL Austin Glazier and WR Mike O'Laughlin while the defense welcomes back 7 starters.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Fenwick Friars? The Friars no question had maybe one of the toughest off-season outside of any team not named Lake Zurich. How well can Fenwick bounce back from it's controversial season a year ago? Regardless, head coach Gene Nudo and staff has the Friars heading in the right direction and this team will again challenge for a state title.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for Fenwick? 7-2/6-3
