The Portage Trail Conference has shrunk to three teams going into 2024. Rootstown will be the team to beat and will be led by a group of four juniors. Rootstown has made some very positive strides in their first two years as a program and will continue to build on that success. Lake Center Christian will be rebuilding and St. Thomas Aquinas will need to add a few more players to be competitive this season.
