The Big Friday Kickoff Podcast wraps up its 2026 preseason region previews with a look at a loaded Double-A Private classification.
Sports Director Emily Cochran and Robert Ristaneo go school-by-school through St. Michael, UMS-Wright, St. Paul’s, McGill-Toolen, Faith Academy, Glenwood, Montgomery Catholic and Houston Academy. They break down the teams and players to watch, McGill-Toolen’s quarterback battle between seniors Bo Miller and Davis Fisher, and a unique schedule that could leave some programs spending more than 20 hours on the road this fall.
With championship tradition throughout the classification and no clear-cut easy path to the post season, Emily and Robert make their picks for the teams to watch in Year One of Double-A Private.
