1. Bishop Sullivan Catholic (Virginia Beach)2016 record: 7-3
Head coach: Chris Scott
The Crusaders return a ton of talent from a 7-3 team looking to make a big impact this season.
Rising senior quarterback
Tyler Desue is back to lead the offense after throwing for 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns. His 57 percent completion percentage was impressive and DeSue will have senior
Armani Chatman to throw to this season.
Senior guard
Zachary Bevins is a big body up front at guard and Bishop Sullivan will need that beef in the trenches as they try to replace 1,500 yard rusher Khalan Laborn. Rising junior
Jake Low could step into that every-down back role.
Defensively, the Crusaders will be stout led by inside linebacker
Teradja Mitchell and defensive end
Dante Burke.
Quarterback Tyler Desue will lead Bishop Sullivan again in 2017.

Head coach: Kyle Simmons
The two-time 6A champions must find a way to replace a ton of offense.
Rising sophomore
Noah Kim looks to take over the quarterback spot for Rehman Johnson (2,000 yards and 31 TDs). A duo of juniors in
Eugene Asante and
Sean Goodman look to replace Nathanael Chung (754 yards) and
Gavin Kiley will be at wide receiver in place of graduated Sean Eckert (40 catches, 963 yards and 17 TDs).

Head coach: Loren Johnson
The back-to-back 5A champs have had to reload each of the past two seasons and 2017 will be no different.
D'onte Waller looks to step in at quarterback in place of Juwan Carter. There is plenty of size up front for the Springers, including junior tackle
Xavier Gaines (6-5, 305), guard
Justin Carey (6-2, 295) and
D'angelo Williams (6-2, 295).

Head coach: Steve Magenbauer
With only four starters on each side of the ball, the Spartans' learning curve will be sharp.
The Spartans return to 2017 as defending 5A champs with an experienced secondary led by
Luke Owen, who also will lead Salem at running back. Owen will be able to run behind junior lineman
Da'jon Cardwell (6-1, 238).
Rising junior quarterback
Jack Gladden will have senior wide receiver
Viante Tucker to target.
