I don't expect Murray to stay down for long either. They were very young this year. Holy Cross and NCC will have a lot returning, as well. I think it's fair to say, it'll be the same familiar faces next year, but, maybe even a higher quality set of contenders than this year and this year was pretty loaded.

 

Again, if I'm a 6-A or 5-A team and I have CAL, Danville, LCA, Mayfield, NCC, DeSales, Holy Cross, OB Catholic, I would be very cautious! All are extremely young.

I'm sure this has been covered at some point but is CAL's coach the guy who played QB at Louisville?

Yes

DeSales will be in the mix also. Lots of sophomores and two freshmen that played critical roles this year, including the QB, the leading receiver and one of the key running backs. Line will be much improved as well. I agree with the idea that 2-A will be an absolute BATTLE next year, with 5-6 teams having a legitimate shot to win it all.
