St. Teresa #8

Yes, they lost 80 percent of their rushing offense and anyone who attempted a pass last year, but don't sleep on the Bulldogs.

St. Teresa's offensive and defensive lines look formidable with several big bodies in Sam House, Noah Bowers and Brady Moore up front. If they open up holes for C.J. Stuart like they did for Chris Isom last year, the running game should be in great shape.

As long as linebacker Jake Handley -- who's in the running for the conference's defensive player of
the year -- stays healthy, the Bulldogs are looking at another trip to the playoffs.
