Great job BellevueBuckeye!!!

I take it there will be mandatory crossover games? Hopefully no crying like the SBC.

Difficult to believe back in 1980, Perrysburg and Willard were nearly same-sized schools

I think the NLL made a mistake by not naming their divisions, Northern Lakes and Great Lakes.

The Little Giants have crossover games with Perrysburg, Whitmer and Findlay.

[Deleted]

Agree. Thankfully, They named it Cardinal, and not Wolverine Division.

Pburg and Southview my early picks.
