2025 Outlook: With the vast majority of impact players returning in 2025 a return to high expectations is upon us. There is a tremendous amount of competition in each position group with all competing for play time in the season. A number of key contributors are also returning after missing last season with injury.
We look forward to heavy competition in District IV AA as the past number state championships have been achieved by that division with a long sequence of state titles from Southern Columbia and last years championship being earned by Troy.
