Since this is a HS forum I'll talk about the Luke first. Why isn't he transferring to South instead? From an objective standpoint he would have a far better shot at another title there. However, I can see the point of going to North. South is a more dense school of talent, and it's more difficult to 'shine' there than at North. I do see North doing well next year, with or without Johnson, but they'll be on the line of whether they can get to State. They'll likely be facing off against GPR and WF for that 4th spot whereas South should be battling with Central for first. There's likely a little backstory as to why he's going to North instead though, I'm sure, or something about where they got a nice home.
As for the Force, I do see it creating a problem that Blais is gone after one year. They really sold him for the Force, and without him they kind of lose that. It shouldn't matter though, I'm sure they'll do well next year either way, but Blais set the bar remarkably high.
