I will put in a vote for St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida. You know nobody will be throwing on them. Their cornerbacks are arguably the top two college prospects in the country at that position. They have several other seniors that will play Division I football, too, and they were nearly the top team in the country last year when all these studs were just juniors.

I can't imagine any team being better than Aquinas this season, but that's why they play the games.

Aquinas does bring back some talent and they always are good but I think this is Brynes year. Last year they were having a great season and lost a game they should not have lost and I believe they will represent South Carolina this year and be the nation's best.

Look out for Oaks Christian aka "Hollywood High" with Nick Montana (Washington) and terrfic RB/LB Malcom Jones leading the way on offense. In addition OL Erick Kohler is a beast and the defense is in good hands with DE Cassius Marsh a ferocious playmaker who is constantly in the backfield.

Iona Prep in New York should be pretty good. All-State QB (Tyrae Woodson-Samuels) and RB (Jeff Mack) returning. Not sure if they're national-championship good, but that's a great start to a spread offense.

My opinion is they will not finish the season undefeated. St. Iggy will have a great season with one or at most two losses but I think they will have a hiccup at some point in the season.

I also think Malvern will have a down season and I think that Liberty will be the team to beat in the Keystone state. They return a ton of talent off a state championship team including the quarterback, which is always a key in high school. Liberty should win another title in PA.

While PA does not look as strong as some years, a few national polls have teams like Liberty (Bethlehem) and Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg) ranked pretty high in the pre-season. I kno pre-season rankings don't matter too much, but the point is that there should be some pretty good teams from the Keystone State.
