   How or why is danville ranked 9th? I see two teams in the honorable mention that should be there. Either mifflinburg or towanda should be ranked there. IMO

   i like your A picks josh. i might even move SCA down further since they are replacing all 5 skill positions on offense this year. My sleeper is Old Forge. They gave SCA all they could handle last year and actually led them by 11 points in the 2nd quarter. If Old Forge has a lot of kids returning I think they might come out of D2 again. They got a lot of speed. Riverside and Dunmore will not be a pushover either.

   Unequalled research done by Josh and Dave! It is an opinion and everybody has one. I would just say that these two put a ton of time into finding out who has what. All opinions can’t be the same and that is understood. Just want to say this is alot more than an educated guess! It’s High School Football and anything can happen but these guys are usually pretty close.

   Riverside # 2. Shh, be quiet. We didn’t want anyone to know the talent we have coming back.

   Yo guys, it’s one man’s opinion. He is certainly allowed.

   I think he’s got LaSalle a little high, or at least I hope he does. They play my team tonite ( North Penn).

   I’ll be there for that
