Blue – Coopersville
Coopersville finished 3rd in the league last season, and they have something West Catholic and Unity Cristian doesn’t; a returning QB. Even without Tim Allen, the Bronco offense could make strides with another offseason for the coaching staff and QB Colton Bosch to prepare. It’s also notable that West Catholic and Unity Chrisitan both had a massive 2022 class, so they’ll be replacing a lot.
Silver – Belding
Having placed 5th in the league last season, you might wonder why they’re even a contender. Well, Belding still broke even at 5-5, with 3 of their losses being by one possession.
White – Byron Center
The Bulldogs sent out an extremely young team last season but still won 6-straight to begin the year. They still finished 3rd in the White, and with a ton of returning talent, I’m confident they’ll show out this season.
Gold – South Christian
A severely underrated team in 2021, South Chrisitan is a consistently good program that will be good in 2022.
