Monticello has another stud RB in the wings who will make guys look silly, and their QB will be very good, but losing Woody is a big deal when that offense was really clicking.I think MV and Northside are 1 & 2. MV should be pretty deep on defense this year. Offense still has the star QB and RB. Lost all their receivers, but they have competed in several 7 on 7s this summer so I think they should be fine. Northside dealt with a lot of injuries last year. They have Basham back, and several other key players should make a good run in the playoffs. If what Mike said about LB Lythgoe is true then that will hurt them a bit I believe. Heritage lost a few key players, but they have a good coach so you never know about them either. Monticello lost stub RB and their coach, it will be interesting to see how they rebound. I think Western Albermarle brings the most back, but like I said before speedy teams have gave them a hard time in the past few years. Other teams that will be in the mix, Brookville, liberty and Christansburg. Don't know much about them, but I know you can never overlook them.
Yes I understand what you are saying but the type of schedule they are used to playing with the drop down you cant help but put them in the top 5. Until they are dethroned in 3A that's how I see it.Phoebus is a tad bit too high. People are giving them a lot of respect off the name Phoebus, but they are in a serious decline currently. Best play Robbie Robinson just transferred to Dematha.
Lord Botetourt lost one of their RB's (Lythgoe) presumably for the season with a torn ACL.
I think JM should be on the list. IMO. But your list is fine.1. Magna Vista
2. Phoebus
3. Northside
4. Lord Botetourt
5. Western Albemarle
The only thing that gives me a little pause about Magna Vista is that they gave up a lot of points for a state championship team. I think it'll be hard to repeat if they give up nearly 20 points per game again this year.Magna Vista is like Lake Taylor and LC Bird. They are the hands down the number one pick, until somebody proves different.
