Beechwood
Coach: Noel Rash (36-6)
Last year: 14-1 (defeated Hazard 14-7 in Class 1A state final)
Players to watch: Senior RB/OLB Joe Colosimo; senior DB Corey Schuler; junior TE/DE Zac Larimore; senior QB Matt Rigdon; senior OL Jake Maricle.
Other key players: Senior DB Kody Klug; senior MLB Michael Porco; senior TE/FS Jacob Maus; junior OL/DL Josh Genal; junior QB/FS Michael Colosimo; junior OL/DL Jackson Adams.
Outlook: Returning five starters on each side of the ball, Beechwood will be the favorite again in 1A. Rigdon leads the offense after running for 464 yards and five touchdowns and passing for 869 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, and backfield partner Joe Colosimo ran for 417 yards on only 48 carries and scored two touchdowns. The defense allowed only 7.5 points per game and had five shutouts, with Klug intercepting a team-high five passes last season.
Bellevue
Coach: Dave Eckstein (96-75 overall, 26-19 at Bellevue)
Last year: 7-4 (lost 33-28 to Gallatin County in first round)
Players to watch: Senior RB/DB Ricky Buckler; senior FB/LB Travis Lyvers; senior WR/LB Alex Hegge; senior OL/DL Tad Dougherty; junior OL/DL Rick Allen.
Other key players: Senior OL/DL Marcus Reynolds; senior QB Richard Wills; senior OL/DL Opal Decker.
Outlook: Bellevue's strength will be at the skill positions, where the Tigers have good speed and depth. Buckler is one of the top running backs in Northern Kentucky. If the offensive line is able to hold its blocks and stay healthy, and if the defensive line shows improvement, Bellevue should be near the top of 1A in Northern Kentucky again.
Dayton
Coach: Zach Deaton
(10-12)
Last year: 2-9 (lost 49-0 to Frankfort in first round)
Players to watch: Senior WR/DB Connor Lewis; senior RB/DB Derreck Buchanan; senior QB/DB Patrick Schwierjohann; senior WR/DB Cody Turner.
Other key player: Senior OL/DL Christian LeWallen.
Outlook: After going 2-9, Dayton looks to rebound with one of the more experienced teams in 1A with eight offensive and nine defensive starters returning.
Walton-Verona
Coach: Jeff Barth (first season)
Last year: 4-6 (not eligible for playoffs)
Players to watch: Senior TE/DE Adam Burt; junior RB/LB Andrew Baumgartner; sophomore QB Nolan Daugherty; senior RB/LB Cory Taylor; senior WR/DB/K Luis
Rodriguez.
Other key players: Junior RB/LB Ronnie Nadicksbernd; junior WR/DB Trent Eschan; senior S Ryan Hardman; senior WR Cameron Reynolds; junior OL/DL Austin Ryan.
Outlook: Walton-Verona is coming off a 4-6 record and enters its first season of district play. Seven starters return on offense, including four linemen. There also are seven starters returning on defense, including three defensive backs, which Barth notes as one of the team's strengths.
Ludlow
Coach: Rick Hornsby (5-7)
Last year: 5-7 (lost 54-0 to Beechwood in second round)
Players to watch: Senior QB Zach Stegemoller; senior OL/DL Justin Carlotta; senior G/LB Drew Rice; senior DB Jacob Ashcraft; senior DB Garrett Hall.
Other key players: Senior C/DE Dylan Meyer; senior OL/LB Matt Stolt; senior WR/SS Jamey Deaton.
Outlook: Ludlow will have to work with players at key positions who have little or no varsity experience. Stegemoller gives the Panthers leadership offensively, and Hornsby does expect the defensive line and linebackers to be improved.
Bishop Brossart
Coach: Matt Reinhart
(0-10)
Last year: 0-10 (missed playoffs)
Players to watch: Senior FB/LB Chris Bowman; senior OL/DL Alex Crawford; junior WR/CB Conner Boesch; sophomore WR/S Spencer Brown; senior RB/LB Michael Whitford.
Other key players: Junior OL/LB Kyle Reinhart; junior WR/LB Colton Boesch.
Outlook: The Mustangs enter their third year of varsity play still looking for their first win. Brossart returns eight starters on offense and seven on defense, so it has some experience. Coach Reinhart expects to see improvement.
