Nansemond Suffolk is the team to knock off Greenbriar this year. However, nothing is certain, from what I have heard a few Atlantic Shores players transferred there this year and once again aide in the re-loading process, but, Lavelle has built a very legit and credible program.
Apart from the few named earlier, Norfolk Academy has a solid pitcher returning in John Beasley, but with the teams lack of experience It will be tough for him to do well. Also, Cape Henry returns an all-conference catcher who hits well, but I can't remember his name right now.
If I had to pick the teams now they would go:
1)Greenbriar Christian (always the team to beat, unsure who their pitching ace will be)
2)Nansemond Suffolk (returns a number of starters and good hitters)
3/4)Norfolk Collegiate (very well coached but questionnable pitching depth)
3/4)Bishop Sullivan Catholic (returns top position players *RHP,SS,2B* but lacks depth)
5)Norfolk Academy (young and shaky but well coached)
6)Hampton Roads Academy (anchored by G. Sarrett, RHP going to W&M)
7)Cape Henry Collegaite (depleted but history of success)
8)Norfolk Christian
9)Walsingham Academy
10)Peninsula Catholic
The All-Conference catcher at Cape Henry is probably Tyler Faubert...excellent hitter based on what I saw last summer
