We are now a few weeks into the 2025-2026 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 757/Eastern region of the state.

*Please note that our staff is going off of projected returners, based off of last year's contributions, and any transfers/additions that we are aware of. We do not always have injury/transfer information, so players that may be out could potentially be included, if our staff is unaware of an injury/transfer out. There is nothing that has been communicated from coaches alluding to the makeup of their roster.*
