At this point, Altavista looks to be the clear favorites to repeat as state champs. They only lost 5 starters last year and their defense looks to be dominating, having 5 shutouts and only giving up 41 points in 9 games. After them I think you have Essex, Lunenburg, Parry McClure, Honaker and Haysi. Other than these teams does anybody else have a chance to win it all? Colonial Beach is tough but lacks depth. Can Washington and Lee recover from the Essex lost last week? What about Surry, Ft. chi swell and Redford? Thoughts?
