for the north i would have to say WLC, their JV qb was pretty much unstoppable running the ball all season and could be a factor on the varsity team. dont know much about the other teams there.

for the south, i would say that canton and glenn are the obvious choices but i wouldnt count plymouth out either.

in the west, i would pick brighton over any of the others right now. the incoming jv team finished undefeated and although they didnt blow people out of the water score wise, they were a very fundamentally sound team and made very few mistakes. add in the fact that a few of the better players (sophomores) were up on varsity for at least half of the season and saw quite a bit of playing time, it could be a turn around year for the bulldogs.

in the central, it will be a very interesting season for these teams. none really stand out as great teams with outstanding players in my mind. stevenson will be tough as usual, but I was not impressed by the underclassmen coming up. Do they have another Austin White hiding in the cupboard? Novi, i think, will have another down year. I personally dont think that the coach used the talent that was there correctly, and now that he is gone, what will a new coach do? are they hiring from within, or are they searching from outside the district? Novi's JV team had a great season but can they compete at the varsity level? i believe there were something like 6 sophomores starting on the novi varsity team this season, and none really made that much of an impact in my mind. with the season that northville had this year, i would assume that most will be picking them as the early season favorites, or at least one of the top two teams. their jv team battled all season and never gave up in a game, but again how will they compete on the varsity level? south lyon is another one that could suprise some. they started alot of juniors this year and moved up a couple of sophomores who saw significant playing time in every game. they have some talent, it will all come down to how the talent is put to use. SLE is in for yet another dismal year, but i can see them getting over the hump and winning more than 1 or 2 games next season. dont know if they will have enough to come out of the basement yet, but they are moving their way up. Salem, what is there to say? not much talent there other than the sophomore running back who was moved up to varsity half way thru the season, but will there be enough other talent there to surround and protect him? only time will tell

just my 2 cents worth, there are still alot of questions that need to be answered (coaching wise) in the central conference before things will become a little more clearer. the main ones are the novi situation, and will the stevenson coach stay again this season? I only ask the stevenson question because of what happened last off season with him resigning and then coming back.

according to rumors on mlive, they are hiring from within, the D cord has both kelopoureys and osbornes blessings

according to the roster novi had more than 3 sophomores playing up on varsity. i know they had 2 that started on D and one on offense, but there were some others listed on the roster that were on the sideline every friday night
