11.12	Season Preview: Independents Nobody plays for a state title in this group. The two best teams regardless of class can be found here. Both made the choice quite some time ago that put college preparation and player development before state titles.
11.11	Season Preview: Class 6A Has Class 6A become boring? Player movement dictates a new champion this year. Could this be a year for an Orlando team? Or, will it be another Miami area team? Maybe boring is the wrong word. It should be interesting to see who can come out on top.
11.09	Season Preview: Class 5A The "Amigos" are gone from Lake Howell, a fantastic four year run for them. So, there will be a new champion in this classification. Actually, it's been a few years since Dwyer won back to back championships. The "Clear" favorite shouldn't surprise many.
11.08	Season Preview: Class 4A Could we see the same two team in the finals again this year? Class 4A is always one of the most competitive classifications with some top notch programs. This could be a repeat year as it is going to be hard to knock off last year's champion.
11.07	Vanguard wing Freddie Riley has more schools interested.
11.07	Season Preview: Class 3A Unlike Class 1A and 2A, Class 3A has no really big changes, due to re-classification from the FHSAA. However, this class features three of the top players in the nation in the 2008, 2009, and 2010 class.
11.06	Season Preview: Class 2A Somebody isn't going back to Lakeland. Class 2A is absolutely loaded with top notch teams. State championship teams from two seperate classifications (1A and 3A) last year will battle in the same district.
11.05	Season Preview: Class 1A Changes in classification for several teams opens up 1A to some up-n-comers for this season. Keep in mind that this pre-season and our crystal ball is a little fogged up. So, some surprises await.
