Millard (0-10) • Season preview
North Summit (4-7) • Season preview coming soon

The breakdown
The Rabbits return a ton of offensive starters, which should help any growing pains on defense. South Summit, last year’s Class 2A state runner-up, returns ample experience. Of note: The tough opponents for South Summit almost entirely will be encountered on the Wildcats’ home field.
The favorite
Delta • “I think the top teams in 2A are every bit as good as the ones we’ve been playing in 3A,” coach Russ Fowles says.
The dark horse
North Summit • “I want these kids to have the same memories we did. The championships were amazing, the relationships were unreal,” says coach Gary Crittenden.
