Thanks to Clubber Lang for one of my favorite lines from the “Rocky” series.

Wilson coach Doug Dahms was spoiled a bit when his football team returned to training camp last this summer.
Eight starters from last year’s defensive unit were back in the saddle for Dahms and his Bulldogs.

Welcome back to another season of Reinhart’s Rankings … my weekly top-five poll in L-L League football.
I wanted to do a preseason poll, but I flat ran out of time before all the Week 1 games. Sorry.
