This should be an intriguing conference. But I think Draughn and Mountain Heritage are the clear cut favorites for the top of the conference. I believe Daylin Pritchard can have a breakout season becoming the player of the year. I like the size of Mountain Heritage and the chemistry they have formed together over the years. Teams like Madison, Mitchell, Avery and Owen have some great talent and could surprise some of the other teams.
Projected Standouts:
Daylin Pritchard (Draughn)
Zaydin Pritchard (Draughn)
Lucas Rector (Draughn)
Brayden Schutt (Draughn)
