Several high school football programs around West Michigan will be replacing key players from last season.
As practice begins on Monday, we are taking a look at some of the top returners.
Hudsonville missed the playoffs last season after dropping five games by eight points or less, but with starting quarterback Trey Carr returning, the Eagles have high hopes for 2022.
Staying in the OK Red, Mason McKenzie is another returning quarterback after leading Caledonia to ten wins and a district championship last fall.
Tim Kloska is back to run the ball for West Catholic, which was 9-2 in 2021. Kloska committed to play football at the Air Force during the offseason, and will be a player to watch this season.

The schedule for the first week is as follows:
