This year's Avon football team was built for a run with all the seniors it had at key positions. Now, where do the Eagles go next year?

They will have to replace their quarterback, running back, receivers, key linemen, among others. We could in fact see a team that better resembles the one we saw in three playoff games: a stout defense that can move the ball just enough to win games. Offensively, fullback Zak Wearsch could become a key feature back, and the defense looks like it has potential: especially up front.

In the West Shore Conference, Midview would be my early pick, but you have to wonder if this gives the Eagles' program momentum with the way Avon is growing.
