Conference Commentary
Belle Fourche – The Broncs won a dozen last year, return a pair of starters
Custer – The top talent is back from a squad that won 16 games last season
Douglas – Patriots have their top four players back and should be improved
Hill City – Rangers played some youth a year ago, could be a few games better
Hot Springs – Had just one league win last season, rebuilding still
Lead Deadwood – Lost their top couple players from a six win team
Red Cloud – With three of their top four players back from a 16-6 team they are the favorite for some but they haven’t beaten St. Thomas More in six years. Is this the year?
St Thomas More – One starter back so some type of “regression” will be there, but how much really? The program still has talent and they need to be knocked off their spot at this point. Return one starter, two reserves from last year.
Spearfish – Only lost three games to league teams last year (8 of 9 wins were vs BHC teams) but lost five top seven to graduation
Sturgis Brown – Most of the starters are gone from a five win team
