The loss of Wallace will definitely be felt but the talent pool is deep and the Cats should be able to adjust. I think they will hurt a little more on the defensive side of the ball but should still be able to score a bunch. With a healthy Noletti, Northwestern is going to be a load. He was really coming on after healing from his inhury last year and is blessed with alot of talent around him.

Dalton will definitely improve as they were very young last year but I still dont think they will have enough to contend for a championship. They did, however, do it in bball and nobody gave them a chance there.

I look for Smithville to be pretty good but they did lose a ton of talent. Both of the workhorse running backs, Tom Hilty and 2 of the top 5 linemen in the league for starters. My big question is what do they do at QB? Bates is a talented athlete but when people are keying on him, how will he hold up? Will the move him to try to utilize him more? It will be interesting to see what coach B comes up with.

Waynedale is a mystery to me and probably will remain that way since we know Beast will never give us any valuable information

I know Hillsdale is losing a ton but we'll see how Coach fills in the gaps. This is very intriguing to me. I ahve a lot of respect for Coach Williams and what he's done at Hillsdale. They'll be in the mix

Rittman and Chippewa..............nuff said

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that they have had an established youth football program for quite a few years. I would have thought that the youth program should have kept the numbers and the quality of the High School team up. But then I guess it could also do the opposite, and by the time the kids reach high school, they are tired of playing football.

The most interesting part is that Timmy has redrawn the map to include Berlin in Wayne County.

Blah, blah, blah, Norwayne is missing Wallace, blah, blah, blah Smithville has a new coach despite the drama, blah, blah, blah Dalton is getting new helmets, blah, blah, blah Northwestern kicks tail, and you can take that to the bank.
