My rankings are as follows
1. Pearl Cohn - big win against the Burros in Week 0. Although the the Burros are noticably not the same as in the past years. Pearls athleticism is beyond most metro schools and I expect the firebirds to have a great season.
2. Cane Ridge - returns a lot of top talent here in Metro and finished with a great first year under a new HC. I expect the Ravens to soar this year in the district.
3. Hillsboro - even though they are down, Clayton is still arguably the best coach in Metro. The offense however seems to have gone down tremendously this year, any big changes over there?
4. Overton - while Overton may possess some talent, Bleacher is right, they unfortunately have not been able to get past the first or second round in recent years. I don't see that much changing, even if they have a high win season.
5. Stratford - Under Fitzgerald, I expect the talent level to increase each year and will subsequently result in more wins. It's just a matter of time until this all plays out, but the Spartans are on the rise.
