Based on jr’s and soph’s who are the top teams for 2025

[flyerforlife]

I know ESL and Lena Winslow , and LWE will be in the hunt who else will be tops in 2025

 

[eireog]

I don’t know the entire breakdown of MC’s roster but the 2 freshman were impact players on this years championship team.

 

[jha618]

Idk about the rest of the roster but the sophomore qb from batavia looked good.

 

[MS4EVER]

MS 7 starters on defense return and 4 on offense.

 

[Nevada Dude]

STF has 19 returning starters from their semi-final team

 

[mc140]

Need to see how free agency plays out first.

 

[LHSTigers94]

STF has 19 returning starters from their semi-final team

5A favorite for sure

 

[80sRambler]

LA will be testing the validity of "LA just reloads" big time in 2025. 2024 was a senior laden team with many of the stars having been 2 year starters.

 

[USD24]

5A favorite for sure

Especially with Naz and JCA moving up to 6A

 

[greatgig13]

No idea where CG sits next year. Losing a lot of seniors, including QB and line.

 

[Cross Bones]

I know who better be.

 

[LHSTigers94]

6A will look a lot different next year. Should be fun with the additions to the playoff field.

You not lying

I don’t know the entire breakdown of MC’s roster but the 2 freshman were impact players on this years championship team.

MC has 4 OL back, 2 WRs, 3 DL (others who rotated in also), 2 LB, CB, and others who started/on the field a lot i.e. Breakey, Conjar, Madden Wilson.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen two freshmen play as big a role in the playoffs as those two did this year for MC.

. . . and another reason to make it 1 - 32 seeding.

9-0 or 8-1 season like always. They just reload. Great program.

 

[MS4EVER]

and this is why they are 8A favorites!

 

[DeanOfSelection]

and this is why they are 8A favorites!

My guess is top 3 in 8A are LWE, Maine S and MC.

 

[caravan8]

and this is why they are 8A favorites!

8A goes through LA until someone beats them consistently. After the way LA dog walked MC in week 9 this season I think Lynch might have to pull a Herb Brooks to get MC ready for LA. Especially with a new QB next season.

 

[doctor_d]

I know OP mentioned Lena, but they will be returning 8 starters on offense, 6 on defense, and likely returning with a ton of motivation and some ill intentions after the way their title game went.

 

[ODirty1]

Our jv team was really good. The young coaches prepared them very well.

 

[atrain97]

No idea where CG sits next year. Losing a lot of seniors, including QB and line.

The line will be fine, 2-3 starters back. QB will be tougher to replace, but Freshmen received a lot of playing time and is big, fast and talented. Defense is losing a lot. so much depends on FB's health.
PR will be tough next year with QB back.

I am excited to see Ware, the track kid.

I coached his dad... Momo legit

 

[GoBlers]

I’m confident Loyola will re-load and compete for 4 in a row next year. Probably won’t be perfect at the beginning of the season and have some growing pains, but they’ll coach them up. Hopefully, they play a tough OOC schedule, even if that means losing a game. Personally, I would love to play ESL every year. Proved to be beneficial this year.

Already has started, nice get by MC…

 

[mc140]

QB from the portal?

Should have went right across the sideline in the 7a title game and had a conversation with the Batavia qb

 

[SiuCubFan8]

QB from the portal?

New protection for whoever is at QB.

LW on a vengance mission against a ghost (will be multiplied up).

Mercy on the souls of the rest of 1A 😂

 

[FB1976]

Rochester returns many of the end of the season starters (13 I think) and has a phenomenal incoming Sophmore class. They will have a better season next year and should be state contenders again in 2026 and 27.

 

[crusader_of_90]

I'd like to take him and Dad to Mass and then breakfast. Number please?

 

[jha618]

New protection for whoever is at QB.

Win a championship on Saturday, get the #1 OL to transfer in on Monday. Not a bad couple of days for the folks on Dante.

Naw bro lol

 

[SiuCubFan8]

LWE, no coach in the state is better at getting backups playing time in blowout wins..at least that’s what we’ve been told.😉
