1. Lebanon Blue Devil- 17-3 last 2 years with a district championship
- Head Coach, OC, and DC return
- Sr. & Jr. Class undefeated Freshmen Teams
- Some new/old additions
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Can they win without the 2023 class. Lebanon always has skill and good hard hitting defenses. Really good coaching staff returns with a lot of experience. Last 2 years produced a lot of memories for BDP.
2. MJ Bears- Until Perry Leaves, they will always be in top 2
- Return HC, OC, and DC (I think)
- Good Back field in QB and 2 Backs Returning
- Much of the Defense returns (Front 7)
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Like Lebanon, do they have enough returning to finish in top of district. Graduated a very good 2023 class. A good returning coaching staff returns and the winningest program in Wilson County past 15 years.
3. Green Hill- 16-4 last 2 years with a district championship
- HC and knowledgeable staff
- Some good skill positions
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Again, the 2023 class in Wilson County was special. Can they fill the vacancies left by the previous class. Coach Crouch gained some knowledgeable coaches to go with his up-beat personality.
4. Gallatin- New Coaching Staff
- Always Athletic, but can they put together some wins
- Favorable Schedule (non district)
Key: Can the new coaching staff take arguably the most talented line-up and make something of it. G-town should be returning a ton of talent. Question is can they find that winning spirit.
5. Warren County- Some new coaches
- several returning starters and reserves
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Is a new OC and a number of returning starters enough to prop WC into the top 4 spots for the play-offs.
6. Cookeville- 2nd year staff
- several returning starters and reserves
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Can the current staff and what should be a number of returning players take them to the next level. There is a buzz on the plateau that they can reach the play-offs.
7. Wilson Central- New Staff
- Strong line returning and QB experience
- Favorable Schedule (non-district)
Key: Can the new staff put together enough wins with several missing pieces?
