Yorktown’s moving down. (From Class A.) Rye’s moving up. (From Class C.) John Jay and Somers are still there. The result: A class that is as stacked as Section 1 has ever seen. Who do you think is the team to beat in Class B?

Manhasset regularly churns out as many college-bound players as any program in the country.

It’s early. Very early. And there are plenty of contenders.
