| Section | Top Teams | Notes |
| 1 | North Rockland, Suffern, Arlington, Scarsdale, Carmel
| S1-A appears set for its best battle in years due to Arlington's major graduation losses.
|
| 2 | Shenendehowa,
Guilderland, Saratoga, Shaker, Niskayuna, Ballston Spa, Queensbury, Bethlehem,
| Another very tight year in the S2-A with four teams residing among Class A's top 8 teams. Reigning champ Shen may have a slight edge.
|
| 3 | Fayetteville-Manlius, Liverpool, Cicero-North Syracuse, Baldwinsville, West Genesee
| FM is an overwhelming favorite but with Liverpool still up among A's top 15 teams.
|
| 4 | Ithaca, Corning, Elmira Express, Horseheads | Ithaca returns everyone while Corning loses three of its top 5, so the S4-A could tilt toward the Little Red.
|
| 5 | Penfield, McQuaid, Irondequoit, Fairport, Brighton
| Penfield is the reigning champ and appears set for another great fight with McQuaid and the rest of S5-A..
|
| 6 | Frontier, Orchard Park, Lockport | Both reigning champ Frontier and Orchard Park have most of their top 6 back, so S6-A appears set for a bug showdown.
|
| 7 | No representatives |
|
| 8 | Syosset, Port Washington
| Syosset and a deeper Port Washington are pretty even in preseason. |
| 9 | Warwick Valley, Washingtonville, Monroe-Woodbury
| Reigning champ Warwick Valley has a big edge in S9-A with most of last year's squad back.. |
| 10 | No representatives |
|
| 11 | Smithtown, Northport, Sachem East, Eastport-South Manor, Commack
| S11-A loses 22 of its top 29 finishers to graduation, and Smithtown may have a little more back than Northport.
