SHIPPENVILLE, Pa. – Tradition rules the day in the inaugural Allegheny Grille of Foxburg D9Sports.com Preseason Rankings (Aug. 23) of the 2017 season.
In his sixth year as the head coach at Kane, Todd Silfies has built the Wolves into a perennial District 9 powerhouse with Kane making five straight D9 title games (three in 2A and two in 1A) and winning titles in each of the past three seasons (two in 1A and last year in 2A). The Wolves are loaded again this season with seven starters back on both sides of the football including three offensive linemen. That is a big reason they are ranked No. 1 to start the season.
Clearfield comes in at No. 2 followed by Clarion, Ridgway and Karns City rounding out the Top Five.
There is one Top 10 matchup in Week Zero, as No. 6 DuBois travels to No. 2 Clearfield.
