tough to say, know one knows what teams will be in what divisions ie.(AA,A,A1), curious to see who will try to sandbag in order to get some hardware. I think at the "A" level, most of the teams will be pretty even.

Looking at the latest prospective team list, I'm surprised to see some of the Bantam teams that have put themselves in the "A1" category. I hope some of these teams are being honest with the league as to what levels they think they should be playing. Bloomington is usually a strong "A" team, Centerville had a good "A" team last season. Hmm.

With the pre-season tournament the divisions will be sized roughly the same. You have to think of teams in terms of relative strength, the labels no real meaning beyond that.
Two cents opinion guess on the relative strength of teams based solely on prior years results\player make-up, etc...i will probably be close on some and way off on others when the dust settles after the pre-season placement tournament..but here goes:
Top 7
1 - Cincy AA 2 - Indy Gold 3 - Dayton Bombers 4 - Ft Wayne AA 5 - Dayton Hawks 6 - Louisville AA 7 - Cincy A
Next 7
8 - Indy Silver 9 - Evansville 10 - Findlay (1) 11 - Columbus, IN 12 - Butler County 13 - No. Ky 14 - Sylvania
Next 7
15 - Dayton Knights 16 - Bloomington 17 - Findlay (2) 18 - Centerville 19 - Athens 20 - Indy Bronze 21 - Ft Wayne A
I am not familiar with so many of these teams. I think the top 3 three are: 1. Dayton Bluehawks 2. Louisville Stallions 3. CCHY We haven't played Lexington in more than 5 years, so I don't know much about one of the teams nearest to us.
Beyond that I'd say it's a real toss up. Our tryouts aren't scheduled yet in our town and won't happen until after Labor day. We have a lot of kids splitting off to high school sports at this age.
