Mike Says: The Eagles will rely on QB Eiland a lot this year. They do not bring back much from last years team. Look for them to go 7-3 or 6-4 in the regular season and come in 3rd or 4th in the district.

Chris Says: Canton's good season came to a sudden end when Gilmer drubbed them in the playoffs last season. The Eagles bring back an average amount of veterans so earning a playoff spot in District 15-3A shouldn't be a big problem, but anytime you play District 16-3A in the opening round of the playoffs, you are probably going home early. Look for the Eagles to win 6 games before calling it a season.
