Prairie State football preview

PRAIRIE STATE

Outlook: All eyes will be on Morgan Park to see how new coach Jeremy Gold fares after the forced departure of veteran coach Lexie Spurlock. Robeson should make things interesting in its first year in the Prairie State and Hubbard is always strong.

TE Mikhail Dubose, Hubbard 6-4 230 Sr.

OG Mario Jones, Hubbard 6-3 270 Sr.
