Conference Commentary
Baltic – Lost four of their best five players off a team that won a third of their games.
Beresford – A six game winner has to replace three of their top four and will do it with only four seniors on the roster.
Chester Area – The line-up of the Flyers last year was all sophomores and an 8th grader. They won just two but they will take a jump forward and teams that hammered them will be on their revenge list.
Flandreau – Fliers have just about everything back off a 12-win team including three all league players and one of the state’s elite bigs (Tash!).
Garretson – Pair of starters back including an all league player from a 3-win team
McCook Central/Montrose – Tough to know what to expect from MCM, they lost all five league honored players bringing back only junior Gavin Gordon from the main rotation (won 12 games last year).
Parker – Parker will compete for the crown with five of their top seven back including all league level players in Davin Fuller Davin Fuller 6'1" | SF Parker | 2022 State SD and Carter Robertson.
Sioux Valley – Expectations remain high with Oliver Vincent Oliver Vincent 6'1" | PG Sioux Valley | 2023 State SD an all league first teamer returning along with Kelton Vincent Kelton Vincent 6'0" | PG Sioux Valley | 2021 State SD and others.
