RED-NORTH

Outlook: Von Steuben took it on the chin last season, but may be handing out a few blows this year. Lincoln Park and Taft are formidable but there is no team that can run away from the pack.

Top five players: Byron Burt, Mather, F, Sr.; Deqwon Horne, Von Steuben, G, Sr.; Demetrius Faulkner, Von Steuben, G, Jr.; Chris Heaney, Lincoln Park, G, Sr.; Ramon Ajose, Lincoln Park, G, Sr.

Keep an eye on: Deandre Dailey, Von Steuben, G, Jr.

Did you know? Six of the schools in the Red-North will have new coaches.

Quote: “It was just time for a change.” – New Mather coach Tony Colston, who was at Steinmetz for the past six years.

Predicted finish: Von Steuben, Lincoln Park, Foreman, Taft, Mather, Lane, Prosser, Steinmetz, Schurz, Senn.
