The WPIAL boys season is here but just before the action begins — here’s my best attempt at preseason rankings (top five in each classification, plus other contenders and one sleeper team to watch).
I think it makes sense to have all previous WPIAL champions listed at number one at the beginning of the season, as it is other team’s responsibilities to dethrone them.
Look for the rankings to be posted every other week through the regular season.
