Selecting the Super Six — our preseason picks for the county's best in a particular sport — is never easy. The talent in this area is so rich that we're bound to leave off some deserving players.
It's going to be particularly tough this year in football because the Class of 2013 is the most loaded single class of football talent in Gwinnett history. Close to 20 rising senior football players already have offers or have made commitments to high-level BCS programs. That number will only rise between now and 2013 National Signing Day in February.
To get us started on paring down our Super Six Football list, here's a list of top contenders and Grayson's Robert Nkemdiche (the nation's top recruit and a Super Six lock).
