We are once again compiling #TheSeason recaps.
We will sweep through each district, one at a time, until all 100 teams are completed. Our next district to review was 2A-District 1 and next random selection in that district was Pace. Records are as compiled, with some adjustments — where possible — made for post-season traditional starters.
