I like St. Frances at No. 1

Sounds like they are loaded at every position.

From the linked article:

"Why them: To get a full grasp of how good St. Frances Academy is, read this intro paragraph to a January article in the Washington Post LINK: "This year, the St. Frances Academy Panthers almost didn't have a season. No one in their private-school league would play them. They are just that good." Check out the article for in-depth reasons that may or may not factor in teams boycotting SFA, but all of them go back to one thing: The Panthers don't just win. They dominate.

Last season, SFA allowed six points in three games. They shut out their next five opponents, plus got a forfeit win. In the championship game, the Panthers won 43-14. They return eight of the top 15 players in Maryland, most notably five-star defensive end Chris Braswell. It's hard to see the team slipping much from last year, as it only graduated two players rated four-stars by 247Sports.

In fact, all around the field are studs. SFA has two four-star cornerbacks, a four-star safety, a four-star running back, a linebacker corps with two four-stars and a three-star, and a trio of three-star seniors on the offensive line. With most of the Panthers now seniors, they will be expected to win every game they play — if they can find opponents."
