Catholic Central is one of if not the most prestigious program in West Michigan with multiple Division 1 prospects coming out of the school nearly every season. Knowing how talented and explosive the CC offense always is, I'm excited to see Grayson develop and hopefully thrive alongside other top prospects. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GraysonFellows3/status/1706460558050914701","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GraysonFellows3/status/1706460558050914701 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5 Division Rankings </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My current top 5 Rankings in Divisions 1-5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>D1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
