Outlook: The Ravens, who won state titles in 2018 and 2019, are in position for their third in program history. Not only is Alonso undefeated, but it also is ranked first in the class, the state and the nation according to MaxPreps. Since holding on for a 19-18 win against Riverview in the season opener, the Ravens have won every game by eight points or more. The offense, led by quarterback Mieke Rowe and receiver Makenna Sturgis, is capable of putting up big numbers. And the defense can be dominant, as evidenced by the 92 points it has allowed all season. The Hawks have won five state titles, the last coming in 2016.
