The 2013 SDSSAA football season kicks off Thursday, with a pair of games slated for the James Jerome Sports Complex. However, because the highly-anticipated "Pascal Pre-Season Predictions" are not scheduled for release until next Tuesday (September 17th), appearing both in the Northern Life and SudburySports.com on that day, it seemed only fair to show my hand in advance.

Following is the projected order of finish of the eight teams that form the High School Senior Football League this year, along with their projected final regular season records:

1st Place - St Charles College Cardinals (7-0)

2nd Place - Lo-Ellen Park Knights (6-1)

3rd Place - Collège Notre-Dame Alouettes (5-2)

4th Place - Lively Hawks (4-3)

5th Place - Confederation Chargers (3-4)

6th Place - St Benedict Bears (2-5)

7th Place - Lockerby Vikings (1-6)

8th Place - Lasalle Lancers (0-7)

For the detailed rationale that paved the way to these "all in good fun" predictions, be sure to read on Tuesday.
