The Breakdown: Southwest Division

At-large: Kennedy (5-5), Empire League

Darkhorse: El Toro (7-3). The Chargers are battle-tested.

Nico Jackson is a main figure on offense with 839 rushing yards and Jesse Bueno is everywhere on both sides of the ball. A tough first round game against Villa Park awaits.
