Great Lakes Conference (GLC) Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The GLC is made up primarily of Division II programs in Northeast Ohio. Last season only saw one District champion as Fairview made the run but fell in the District Finals. This season could be a rough year as we saw almost every team affected by graduation and loss of production. There are some names that could impress, but the conference may fail to produce a deep postseason team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(East Division)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><li><strong><em>Holy Name</em></strong>- Green Wave are one of the few teams that are returning their top guys with the return of <strong>Dorrian Pettway</strong> (Sr).</li><li><strong><em>Valley Forge</em></strong>- Fantastic season last year (17-5) but aren't really losing or returning much of the top end production.</li><li><strong><em>Parma</em></strong>- Entering the last season before the school closes at the end of the year.
