We are now a few weeks into the 2024-2025 high school year and it is way too early to predict how the high school season will shake out, but we are going to give it a shot. Here is a glimpse into the Top 10 of the West/Southwest region of the state.

*Please note that our staff is going off of projected returners, players that we anticipate to be potential contributors, and any transfers/additions that we are aware of. There is nothing that has been communicated from coaches alluding to the makeup of their roster.*
