I think it will be West Stokes conference to lose. Mount Airy will be a great test. I just feel Lowman has MA's number. East Surry should finish third. They are making strides in the right direction, but there are just too many athletes on the other two teams.
One issue with West is the loss of their best lineman. Coach Whitt will have to replace him in the trenches, but he should be able to coach up a newbie to be ready.
North Surry should be competitive, but they seem to choke under pressure. Coach Smith is going into his third year and we should see strides in the right direction for the Greyhounds.
Surry Central and Forbush should be interesting with new coaches. Surry Central brings in the former head coach from North Stokes. Forbush has hired Logan Holder, son of Kelly. Both have been around football for quite a while, just too many questions to know how they will fare.
