High school football: These are the favorites, according to Section 1 coaches and captains

We made the rounds earlier this week at the first Section 1 Football Coaches Association Media Day, asking the coaches and captains who came to Mahopac High School to rank the top three teams in their respective classes. The voting was anonymous. Nobody was allowed to vote for their own team.

Here are the results based on three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote and one point for a third-place vote:

2. Carmel (26)
