The Metro Conference is a competitive league with teams surrounding the city of Akron. Cloverleaf, now under first year head coach Dan Brodnik, has dominated the league the last few years, but they are going to face some tough competition as the league continues to see a rise in talent. Streetsboro returns a lot of talent from last year’s squad and may be the favorite to win the conference this year. Springfield will also be looking to compete for a league title, but will have to do so without District qualifier Cami Leporis, who graduated after last season. Woodridge, Field, and Norton will fill out the league standings as each of those programs are still developing their homegrown talent.
