Poland will look to repeat as Northeast 8 Conference champions in 2023 and return a strong group of seniors in order to try to do so. Lakeview and Hubbard appear to be the top contenders to try to dethrone Poland. The NE8 will have a good amount of parity in 2023 and one new impact player could tip the scales for one of those teams or any of the other four teams.
