TROY – Coming off its third straight 10-win season, Troy has been picked to finish second in the Sun Belt East Division in a vote by the league’s head coaches, the Sun Belt announced Thursday. The Trojans posted a 7-1 league record last season and tied for first in the division.
Defending league champion Appalachian State received seven of the 10 first place votes and was picked to win both the East Division and the overall league title. Louisiana, which won the West last season with a 5-3 mark, was picked to repeat as the West representative in the Sun Belt Championship Game.
