Class 6A hands down looks even much improved and heck even better than I expected. With again the addition of Peoria and the Multiplied Catholic Hoarde (kidding) 6A, especially near the top of the poll is no joke in 2017.

My Class 6A Preseason Top 10 poll
1. Prairie Ridge
2. Peoria
3. SHG
4. Montini
5. Nazareth Academy
6. Cary-Grove
7. Lemont
8. Vernon Hills
9. Richards
10. Crete-Monee
Others to consider?
Danville- the Vikes have talent back but longtime HC BJ Luke retired so
Providence Catholic- again...they have talent back and could this be a nice bounce back season perhaps?
Shepard- do not sleep on the Astros in 2017
TF South- the Rebels will have a new but very familiar HC in Bob Padjen..and the other fractional has strong talent back.
Lakes- only question is can the Eagles soar without Luke Mertens in 2017?
Bloomington- the Purple Raiders bring 17-18 starters back.
Boylan- why? Because they are Boylan that's why.
St. Laurence- graduated a ton but they still have some speed in Burbank this fall.
First to fall/makes me a bit nervous?
Prairie Ridge-mainly because they are one injury away from not being so good.
Vernon Hills- heck we all faded the Cougars in 2016 so...again not a ton back and honestly just not sure right now to be honest. Also lost 3 games in the regular season in 2016 before making it's post-season run so...
Crete-Monee- regular season non conference schedule is no joke.
