The LHSAA permits high school football teams to hold spring training football practices starting April 27. During this time, coaches and players hope to answer key questions that could impact their fortunes in the 2015 season. Here are 3 key questions St. Charles must answer in the spring. <\/p>\n
How will St. Charles replace graduated leaders Austin Weber and Erron Lewis? <\/p>\n
The Comets in 2014 had possibly one of the most productive offense in coach Frank Monica's 14 years at the helm. <\/p>\n
Erron Lewis earned River Parish Player of the Week in September 2014 after he rushed for 150 yards and four touchdowns in a 49-14 win over East Jefferson - just one highlight of Lewis' high school career. <\/p>\n
Quarterback Austin Weber had about 2,000 all-purpose yards in the 2014 season - that alone leaves some big shoes to fill. <\/p>\n

\"He's a different type of quarterback than Austin -- he's a pocket guy but he can run a little bit,\" Monica said. \"We've got a couple of possibilities --Justin Loupe at running back, hopefully he can fill that spot.\" <\/p>\n
The Comets have advanced deeper and deeper into the playoffs the past two years - can they continue the streak while rebuilding? <\/p>\n
St. Charles doesn't have an easy district schedule -- and the playoff bracket isn't any easier. <\/p>\n
