Divisional Breakdown

Division One- Division One will once again come down to Champlain Valley-Union and Burr & Burton. The schools face off in week one so we will know right out of the gate who could be the team to beat in this division. Middlebury and Hartford also figure to be in the mix. Mount Anthony could be the team no one is really talking about in this division enough.

Division Two- Bellows Falls is the toast of the division. They return RB Walker James, RB/DB Jesse Darrell and QB/DB Eli Allbee. North Country Union and Colchester are two programs that have the talent to make deep playoff runs in D2 as well. 

Division Three- Windsor should once again be the cream of the crop in D3. Greg Balch’s Yellowjackets went 11-0 en route to their second straight undefeated season and state title. They’ll be the favorites to three peat but Bellows Free Academy and Otter Valley will be in the conversation as well.
