The Eagles have more talent back than any team in the metro. Jr. QB Cole Kramer is a star in the making.

2016 Mr. Football winner Wade Sullivan is gone, but there’s beef up front and young talent behind them.

Losing 23 seniors will take a toll but don’t expect the defending 6A champion Eagles to fall very far.

Could this be the year the Raiders return to greatness?

Southpaw QB Connor Melton and WR Byron Bynum are one of the metro’s most potent combinations.

With Brad Davison graduated, the Crimson’s focus returns to defense, coach Matt Lombardi’s calling card.

Don’t expect the Hornets to be flashy, but they will be physical. That will be more than enough.

The Skippers will rely on a rugged defense, led by linebackers Ty Barron and James Van Horne.

The starting backfield is inexperienced, but the line, led by Jacob Smith and Ian Bass, is not. 

DT Zach Whaley has the size needed for the position (6-4, 275) but moves like he’s 60 pounds lighter.

5A: Elk River, Cooper

4A: Benilde-St. Margaret’s, Holy Angels

3A: St. Croix Lutheran

2A: Minneapolis North
