What are everyone's thoughts on the league? Still West Branch at the top until someone proves otherwise? WB will have to replace a lot of veteran players from last years team... They do return a few nice pieces in D1 recruit Gregory , QB/Athlete Thomas, QB Hirst... What will Alliance, Carrollton, Marlington, Salem and Minerva be bringing to the table?
 
 
I will repeat this: West Branch returns a first-team All-Ohio QB that passed and ran for a combined 2,800 yards and scored 44 touchdowns, a 6-7, 230-pound D1 tight end who just visited the University of Michigan, among other schools, several talented two-way linemen and a JV team moving up that went 10-0, pitched seven shutouts and outscored its opponents, 404-41. Plus, they have league foes Alliance, Carrollton and Marlington at home where the Warriors haven't lost a league game in the past five years. West Branch will be strong again.
 
This is the year the aviators fly back to the top of the conference . Young last year and got lots of experience. They’re the sleeper team this year. Mark my words
 
I'm interested to see how Carrollton progresses with another off-season for their coaching staff. I don't know what they have as far as players but I thought they were well-coached.
 
Will the Minerva Lions bring up the rear or can we expect them to fall in-between somewhere this year?
Minerva will again go winless in EBC play... they are no where near ready to win a league game yet. 10 years and counting on their futility. They havent won a HOME league game since 2014... Think about that!

I don't know, I think they could catch one of the bottom teams this year. They're not as inept as they have been in the past, but they'll still be a double digit underdog at the minimum

Let’s hope, hopefully some rumors aren’t true and a couple key athletes don’t quit.
