Southwestern: The Warriors lose a very-talented 13-player senior class that brought the program its first-ever regional title. However, the program is going through a lot of changes with the firing of asst. coaches, so it will be interesting to see how things pan out.

Pulaski County: The Maroons will have a better season in 2012. They will be led by RB Tyler Goins, who did well in his first season playing high school football. With a talented freshman class on the squad, things look bright for Johnny Hines.

Madison Southern: The Eagles are my pick to win the district in 2012. They have the offensive weapons to get the job done. With the addition of former SW defensive coordinator Jim Girdler, look for that to give the Eagles an inside edge to win the district.

Lincoln County: Mike Settles and the Patriots lose their go-to player in RB Deon Shannon.

South Laurel: The Cardinals will be much better this season, led by QB Tyler Pemberton. He had an impressive season last fall, but expect him to be even better in 2012. The future looks bright for him at the QB position.

North Laurel: I don't really know much about the Jaguars, but after only 3 wins last fall, the only way to go is up.
