9. Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.)
2010 finish: 12-1, Class AAA runner-up
2011 record: 0-1
Head coach: Steve Devlin
Despite starting the season 0-1, it's clear that Archbishop Wood is one of the top programs in Pennsylvania. Steve Devlin's squad dropped a 20-17 decision to perennial AAAA power Pittsburgh Central Catholic, but proved that it should be the favorite in AAA this year. With Desmon Peoples and Colin Thompson, Archbishop Wood is likely the top team in Eastern Pennsylvania this season, a designation that usually belongs to the likes of La Salle, St. Joseph's Prep or North Penn.
