Novi(+)This all comes down to the QB. Whoever wins the job, be it Hartland, Enright, or Mohr, better step up. The skill positions are talented, the incoming juniors are big and will provide strong depth in the trenches, and the defense will be spectacular. The stars are aligned for a huge season, and if the QB can make plays and move the chains this is a team that will be competing deep into November. However, if the QB situation turns into a mess, teams will bogg down on the running game and force Novi's defense to will games. Novi's defensive depth is untested and injuries to stars like Mims, Jabbori, or Pitcher could really hurt. I'm a homer though and believe that Hartland will ultimately win the job and lead Novi to a successful season.

Stevenson(=)AW is coming back and that itself means Stevenson won't get any worse. However, they do have to replace their QB and lot's of other positions as well. With Gabel back on the sidelines they will definetly be contenders, but like Novi a QB needs to emerge and be serviceable, hand the ball off to AW, and move the chains on 3rd and long.

Northville(+)The class of 2010 is supposedly very, very good, having dominant freshman and JV campaigns and leading Northville to a much improved season last year. I expect Northville to be improved again, but they won't be getting much help from a weak class of 2011. Novi's class of '11 dominated Northville's each of the past two seasons and that will be the difference between the two teams.

Should be an interesting 3-team race.

South Lyon(-)Baskin was that team, and now he is gone. With the opening of SLE, don't expect SL to become consistently good again, unless a major population boom or something of that sort takes place.

South Lyon East(+)Everyone is back on that team, which could be good or bad depending on how one looks at the situation, but the continuitiy should help the young team out. SLE could be better than SL this year, and certainly has the potential to beat Salem.

Salem(-)I have never understood how a school with 2000 kids, in the same district as Canton and Plymouth could have such a consistenly poor football program. But that is simply the case, and it's being nice. Parling is gone, and he was like what Baskin was to SL. Not much else to say, other than I've heard some good things about Ed Merhi.
