- Cameron Jourdan, Staff writer

1. Sasakwa (9-3): With standout running back Thomas Rompf coming back to lead an experience­d group, Sasakwa has the experience and players to compete for a title.

2. Timberlake (9-4): There's tons of experience returning on both sides of the ball for Timberlake, which will use its dynamic offense to run away from opponents.

3. Tyrone (5-5): The Bobcats will look to use their speed and athleticis­m to control the pace of games and play stellar defensivel­y. 4. Buffalo (5-5): The Bison return seven starters on offense and look poised to make another deep run in the playoffs.

5. Medford (2-7): Medford will be stout defensivel­y with six starters returning. Drake McMillen leads the team at running back and linebacker. 6. Mt. View-Gotebo (7-3):

Staying healthy is the key for a Mt. View-Gotebo team that returns experience at skill positions on both sides of the ball. 7. Midway (9-2): Junior quarterbac­k Geral Washington is a threat in both the run and pass game, giving Midway's offense

an advantage any time it's on the field. 8. Waynoka (10-4): The Railroader­s lost a lot to graduation but return plenty of younger players ready to step into new roles trying to get back to the state title game.

Fox (3-6): With six starters returning on offense, including tight end Robert Davis, the Foxes are going to light up scoreboard­s all season.
