I wouldn't mind getting some knowledgable opinions from others.
Middle/East
Brentwood Academy- Obviously going to be one of the favorites. A lot of that will be dependent on Schoenwald. Oatsvall is one of the best players BA has ever had. Tough loss mentally for BA. With so much skill returning and a decent line they should be tough to beat. They always seem to get some surprising transfers as well (Sirmon).
Ensworth- Wow do they have a lot returning. I've heard they have a QB and a lineman that were ineligible this year that are very good. You would think King and Clifton are all they need. If they could put King at receiver with Malloy, wow that's scary. I think they will be competing with BA for the middle region.
MBA - They will obviously have a good o-line and well coached defense. They always have a good o-line and a well coached defense. I'm not a big believer in Allen at QB. He seems average at best. Without Ty they are going to need more than average IMO. Will they have the skill players to compete for first? Euverard will definitely have them in it.
McCallie- Who replaces Riddle? Potter is an outstanding offensive mind but it seems they never finish. I believe there running back was a senior as well right? We all know they will put up points. I believe their defense will continue to be a sieve. Hard to win consistently when you have to score as many points as they do.
Baylor - Another extremely well coached team. If they could ever find a QB they would be so much better. You would think with their ability to pull kids from all over they could find one this off-season. I'm not knowledgable enough but maybe they have an up and comer? I've heard they have had some good freshman teams the past couple of years.
Sorry Father Ryan and PJP2. Maybe 2018?
West
Then land of the unknowns. It seemed like Briarcrest was much improved under their new coach. He was new right? Will this improvement continue? MUS went undefeated and then lost to an average Baylor team? Was MUS young? What was the deal there? Don't get me started on CBHS. How does a school with that many boys not consistently push for the championship each year? Blows my mind. Sorry St. Benedict. Football obviously isn't very important to you. I'm obviously not that knowledgable about the west. Any insight Memphis guys?
