The team has proven to be able to compete with anyone in the state.
Do not overlook Brophy as they will now enter the Open Division playoffs and attempt to continue upsetting higher-ranked teams in the state.
Hamilton has a rough patch
The Huskies have improved significantly from last season, where they went just 4-20 and could not compete with other in and out-of-state teams.

Hamilton ended the season losing five of its last six games. However, the losses were against some of the most elite teams in the state.
Considering the team’s strength of schedule and ability to stay afloat, they should be competing in the Open playoffs as well.
