<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Southwestern has some strong pedigree at the top with two perennial powerhouses leading the way, and then some teams with some interesting possibilities this upcoming season. Let's take a look and see how we think things may shake out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><li>Butler</li><li>Charlotte Catholic</li><li>Providence</li><li>Independence</li><li>Rocky River</li><li>East Mecklenburg</li><li>Garinger</li></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players To Watch </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler – Edge Peyton Scott, LB JJ Coleman, DB Juice Jones - Committed to Georgia State </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlotte Catholic – TE [player_tooltip player_id='115725' first='Jack' last='Larsen'] - Committed to Norte Dame, QB [player_tooltip player_id='144704' first='Sean' last='Boyle'] - Committed to Charlotte, OL Clint Barlow</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Providence – ATH [player_tooltip player_id='50901' first='Luke' last='Bailey'], LB Josh Brooks, OL [player_tooltip player_id='44985' first='Connor' last='Drake']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Independence – QB Justin Little, DL [player_tooltip player_id='132327' first='Josh' last='Iseah'], DB Quentin Reddish</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rocky River – TE Trevion Graham, LB Jamarion Anderson, ATH Antwione Norris</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>East Mecklenburg – TE Parker Storey, DB Torrence Casey, RB Nyron Paige</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garinger – DL Eric Bennett, ATH Lamarion Witherspoon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler and Charlotte Catholic are on a collision course to meet once again to decide the conference champion - Butler won a great game last season on Catholic's home field, and it figures to come down to these two once again. Providence and Independence are good enough to pull an upset on the right night though, and it will be interesting to see how they progress throughout the season and come playoff time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Projected Playoff Teams</strong>: Butler, Charlotte Catholic, Providence, Independence</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
