Let’s get the early predictions out on the SOC. I will go first and take the Burg to win the SOC II. Any new coaches? Who are the teams to watch?

Burg is the only team to watch in SOC II

Wheelersburg will dominate in league play with these 3 battling out for second place Minford, Waverly, West.

Anyone with an opinion on SOC I?

Symmes Valley looks to return the most this year as they are the defending champions in SOC 1. Notre Dame will have young talent that will be forced to play quite a few freshman/sophomores after losing talented seniors.

who are the incoming freshman for ND ? I've lost track as I'm out of the loop .

Clay has a strong freshmen class coming in.

Clay has a superb group coming in . SV has a dynamite lefty joining them this spring as well . Difference maker for sure .

ND freshman: Glockner, Schaffer, and Whitman will probably all have to contribute. It's tough for freshman but they are very experienced in high level competition.

Those are not ND freshman girls...they are all in the 8th grade.

Maybe they are forgoing their 8th grade season and taking their talents to 9th grade?

They are very good and could probably do that. Stupid OHSAA!!!

Start of the season is a month away lets get your team reports in. Who's is going to make a run this year ( I know, the burg). Who will be a surprise.

I was talking to a burg parent yesterday. 6 of their starting 9 are verbally committed or signed to a college team. That is impressive for a local team.

I love the under dog, I love the not talked about and I encourage them to work hard and stay humble. East Tartans Ladies are on a come up.

In years past NB has struggled with numbers , all the SOC1 teams going to field a squad this year ? any with just 9 or 10 ?

Also The D4 district will be very strong this year . SV has a wealth of experience , Clay brings a loaded freshman class , and Leesburg Fairfield has a freshman that's going to make a big impact .

Updates after the first couple weeks ?

Wheelersburg is 5-0 (3-0 in SOC)

Minford is 5-2 (4-1 in SOC II)
