Yes, I am from Hackett and I am bias. However, after the team camps and the way the boys look I'm highly confident in having them in my top 10. The rest of the teams are pretty set in my opinion, besides Earle and Mccrory. Mccrory is supposed to lose quite a bit, so we'll see on them. If Hackett comes out in the early weeks and drags around I will remove them from my top 10, but I think we will be pretty good.

I think you can justify hackett at #10...I mean at least they played football last year? just fielding a team gets you ranked in the top 20 bu some folks, if you play in that big boy conference down south

They should have a strong QB coming that should be a 9th grader this season, are they moving him up to lead the senior team?

Really think people are over looking the hermits. Especially hootens they have Hampton in the top 20 and didn't even have a team last year smh but has the hermits ranked above them in conference play. Hermits have everybody returning except 3 players from last year and has some move in's.Spring ball they had 17 players out and more was to come. Can't forget IMO they have the best player in 2A in Monta Thomas and he has some weapons around him. This group of SR played against JC  when they were 9th graders for the conference championship.

This looks solid, but Rison will struggle to make it here . Bearden may be too high or low depending on line play. They have a large underclass line in waiting, but Sr's always get first look. They will have the best QB & LB core in the 8 as well. Next year will be the year of the Bear!

without them and Marvell and Clarendon could you imagine what Sartins record would be.

[Backwoods Bart]

Best QB in the 8 will be Thomas.

Thomas's running #'s may back you up, but I guess I see him as the best RB, purposed as QB. Berry is a better pocket QB, IMO. Thomas is good!

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Lol, not even top 3

I could be wrong but I don't see how earle doesn't finish top 10. Cross County, epc, Or someone from the 3 will be top 10 surely.

some view this as a beginning the season, not where they'll finish. Heard a lot of praise andhype of Earle last year for 10 weeks....then the bulldogs crash and burn in the first round....without doing ny homework I'd probably have them around #5 in the preseason...

which reminds me..I'll count this up monday evening...maybe(depends on getting off work and in-laws bbq)

Hermitage, Carlisle or Mcrory won't be top 10 in my opinion. These polls are just biased speculation. The real poll will come after week one, and who pans out and who doesn't.

McCrory still has the glow of bringing home the hardware last year

Agreed, but they should have to be beaten out of the top ten on the field. Until then, they are top 10, IMO. they deserve that as well as any defending champion.

Earle will have as much talent as any team in the state, as usual. It will all boil down to whether they can keep some of the players interested in football as the season passes.

I was talking with their coach last season and he said that his biggest problem was always late in the season. Once it started nearing basketball season they all lost interest in football and started gearing up for basketball.

It's probably always going to be a basketball town, but it's a shame to see them miss so many opportunities in football. They have the talent every year to compete for championships if they can keep the kids bought in.

I can't blame them for the basketball thing....state champs last year, and I hear from Non-Earle fans that they have the talent to win 2 or 3 more in a row

[Hornet4ever]

McCrory was excellent last season. I experienced it first hand when Hackett went there, then I watched them in the state game put Rison down 28-6 in the first half which impressed me. I think this season will be wide open. Guess we will see, if I had to choose a favorite for state right now I would probably pick Danville. As much as I hate to say that.

That's true, but they actually have the talent at that school to win state in both sports if they wanted to. Or at least last years team did.

So what happened round 1?

[2aball]

So what happened round 1?

From what their coach told me, lots of mysterious injuries the past few weeks of the season that miraculously healed up as soon as football was over and basketball had began. He said he has that problem every year. Some of his players just check out as the weather starts turning colder and basketball gets nearer. It's hard to win when some of your team is ready for it to be over.

[Pit Bull]

It should be interesting for coach this season tho he has a good weight room program and his core group aren't BBallers.

[bdubyab60]

You know where Im from.

1.Danville- Solid team moving down from 3A
2.England- Pretty good squad returning
3.Hector- Do they still got the Gaines kid- if so he will carry them again
4.Harmony Grove- don't know much about them but some scores form last year and they should be tough
5.Mt. Ida- Solid playoff team last year, not sure what all they lost off that team.
6.Rison- Lost a ton off this team but het its Rison
7.Des Arc- Eagles just seem to keep rolling. should be favored in the 6 I would think.
8.Earle- A ton of talent, can they keep them motivated. They need to move up the linebacker from 9th grade. BEAST.
9.Mccrory- No Campell no Rogo. CAn they replace these playmakers
10.Cross County- Lost a pretty big crew but they have a decent program going. But this spot is always a revolving door.

Gaines does indeed return for one more go round at Hector
