I don't really think that Pike Central will be worse than last season even though they lose 3 lineman, the bulk of the skill players are returning, plus some of the sophomore lineman hold much more promise than those departing the team. I'll take this as my suprise team this year, but they probably won't do anything spectacular. But you never know for the first time in about 3-4 years the field is much more even throughout the district. No more Jones, Compton, Howard gives teams like Valley and Central a little more opportunity to do something within the district.
