2023-24 Class AAAAA Predictions

<!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Dorman dominance of Class AAAAA resumed in 2022-23 as they won their 5th State Championship, but their first since 2020 to go along with 7 Straight Region Titles. Lexington has the consensus Top Player in the State, [player_tooltip player_id='986184' first='Cameron' last='Scott'], as well as two other very highly-recruited players in [player_tooltip player_id='1332455' first='Kaleb' last='Evans'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1336428' first='Jaxon' last='Prunty']. Other teams such as Byrnes, TL Hanna, Goose Creek, and Summerville are extremely talented and will likely have something to say come February.
