The 2024-25 high school year and all of the sports seasons that go along with it is quickly approaching.
So as they close in, it's time to start getting ready to watch all of the Rockford-area stars. History tells us there will be plenty.
To give you an idea of just how many, we have compiled a list of some of the star athletes who could be key to their team's importance in the coming seasons. While this is not all of the sports stars we have in the area — and we will be adding to this list as the year goes on — it is a good place to start.
