Who brings the most back in Division 1.
DCC returns 11 regional qualifiers, 10 state qualifiers and 7 state placers, more in every category than any other D1 program. Four of those placers are returning state champions: Gregory (126), Fuchs (150), Roche (175) and Krueger (190).
Hartland is next with 8 regional qualifiers, 6 state qualifiers and 4 placers, led by 113 state runner up Sensor. Rockford and Westland John Glenn also return 4 placers each. Rockford's four all finished in the top six, including state champs Compau (106) and Martin (120).
Grandville sits tied for second in returning state qualifiers with 6, and keep an eye on Lapeer, which quietly returns 285 state runner up Fuller, placer Millen and three more regional qualifiers. Davison brings back 3 placers, and Rochester Adams, Oxford, Clarkston, Grand Ledge and Romeo each return 2.
Two returning state champs whose teams don't crack the depth tiers: Meeuwsen of East Kentwood (215) and Woodberry of Cass Tech (113).
