I'd be shocked if Central didn't take the football crown. Union is the favorite for basketball from what they return.

In football Central lost 3 OL from last seasons team, they return everything else. RV lost some linemen and a WR but have some young up and comers that will fill in nicely and THE best RB around. Imo its between those two. New HC makes things very interesting at RV, I think Tiller will do a good job but year 1 is tough to predict.

In basketball id go with Union, they return 4 starters and unless im mistaken those are 4 dedicated basketball players. I think the seasons being squeezed together is going to make a big difference with a lot of teams. RV and Central for example, this should be the best season for both in football and I just dont see football focused players playing basketball (Adkins, Brickey, Reynolds, etc) but I could be wrong. On the other side of that Unions Bball players may not play football (not sure if they did anyway). Baseball may impact the turnout for football too at some schools.

Poor Lee, surely they will be better than last season.
