First off, congrats to MUS. Heartbreaking loss for MBA after the comeback season. Fitz will be hard to replace. There's no questioning that. However, while it was seemingly a senior heavy team, with more than 22 seniors, not all of them started. MBA will return several starters from both sides of the ball. I believe at least 3 full time starters on defense and at least 2 full time starters on offense. This does not include several others who have significant playing experience.

MUS could be a powerhouse, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The last two years they've been led by probably the best quarterback in the state, who they're losing, and they're losing most of their team this year. Let's see if they can reload next year, and then judge. Ensworth is very good, and will be a monster next year for most teams. The especially heavy right side of their offensive line (Crenshaw + Richardson) will probably give nightmares to most coaches. Not to mention that they also play defense. Both weigh over 300 lbs. Also, they never seem to lack athletes. Father Ryan, while they had one of their best seasons in a long time, will probably remain Father Ryan. I haven't seen anything on CBHS, so I won't comment on them. Although, I do know that they have a beast of a kid playing linebacker for them. BA and MBA are not on any sort of decline. MBA got pretty close to winning 2 of the last 3 state championships. Keep that in mind the next time that you post. You can't expect to win every year. Also remember that they started a lot of juniors and sophomores on this year's team. BA, while they haven't won in a few years, is probably the fastest, most athletic team in the division. With King, Caro, and Tate, they were probably the fastest team this year. And I believe 2 if not all 3 of them are returning next year (not sure if Tate is a jr or sr). I'd take BA over any of your up-and-coming powerhouses (MUS, FRHS, CBHS) next year. I'm going to guess you're somehow biased toward one of the teams that you mentioned earlier. Because if you took an honest look at the teams around D-II this year, you'd realize that things are probably going to stay the same for quite some time.
