The obvious very early pick is Mt. Pleasant. They have a pretty decent system in place and seem to reload and be consistent. With that said there has been some chirping that coach John's is looking to hang up the whistle at least being a HC.
West Stanly graduated a lot of their skill and talent. They will return a very good RB, but wouldn't surprise to see them take a step back.
Forest Hills always seems to have skill guys, but lately they just don't have the line to get it done.
Anson has talent and size all over the place, they just never seem to reach their potential or be consistent.
Not sure of the status of CATA.
So I think Montgomery can make some noise, just because of the whole new structure and getting use to all that shaking out I would think Mt. takes the conference again.
