Conference Commentary
Castlewood: The senior group is solid, should be capable of tough battles regularly.
Clark/Willow Lake: Programs with the level of coaching and talent like this don’t drop far but there are a ton of bodies to replace. Stone Burke will bridge the gap.
De Smet: The next two years have a chance to be really special as De Smet’s 18-19 year included a number of big contributions from underclassmen who are now all a year older.
Deuel: Winless in the league a year ago and that was with many seniors playing.
Flandreau: There is more to replace here than some think. That said, Tash Lunday is ready to take the torch and fly with it.
Hamlin: The line-up will have a couple fresh faces but not a load of production returning plus several new spots up for grabs.
Sioux Valley: It’s going to be a very skilled, potent line-up. Much of last year’s rotation will return and it will be a group with something to prove.
