I'm not sure about favorite, but, I think Rock will be a contender. Depends on how the team develops. They started gelling this past season faster than I figured that they would. All along I figured it would be this year that that group of kids would start shining. This group came out through middle school as a pretty good group and were initially developed by a fine young coach by the last name of Bussell. He worked those kids up in middle school and got a lot of kids out to play ball. Rockcastle will be losing a few good players including Ansardi, but, it will be interesting to watch them this year. I give a lot of credit to Coach Bussell for getting things going on that lower level to the success they've had this past year. He doesn't coach now though because of dedication to his family life which I can respect and time constraints.
The team still lacks those big lineman that helped them to run the ball years ago though. Like I said, they will be interesting to watch.
