6. West Delaware
7. Creston
8. Bishop Heelan
9. Decorah
10. Chariton

While I don't consider them near the top of this list one team that will see brighter days in 2015 than 2014 is Harlan. I could see them being capable of beating several of the teams listed here.

Decorah and Chariton do not belong at all. Decorah while having a great tradition has two of its weaker classes in a long time on varsity and play in a very good district. Chariton while having a couple of good players does not have enough pieces around them and will be lucky to make the playoffs as well.

Harlan will be better but still young and I would take 6 on the win column with possibly a 7

I'll give it a go with an early top 10 list:

1. Pella
2. Assumption
3. Xavier
4. West Delaware
5. Dallas Center-Grimes
6. Solon
7. Norwalk
8. Sergeant Bluff-Luton
9. Creston
10. Heelan

Just outside looking in; Webster City, Harlan, Gilbert, Waverly-Shell Rock, ...I'm sure I am missing other worthy teams, but that's all I got for now....

Definitely need to add Waverly to the mix. We have a very solid team and will be ready to make a deep run.

Wouldn't surprise me. Obviously lots of good athletes at W-SR as evidenced by success in basketball and baseball as well. Big game on 9/11 @ West Delaware. W-SR be able to take WD this year?

 

[IOU1]

Hard to say. Will be WDs size and Rousell (sp?) against WSRs speed. Both teams have holes to fill on either side of the ball.

 

[PNation]

Looking at D3 I think that West Del and WSR are probably a slight bit ahead of the rest of the district but I think Charles City, Independence, Decorah, and Vinton could all have really good teams, Crestwood should be improved as well they just have a lot of teams to climb over after an 0-9 season.

 

[go-hawks37]

Gonna be a two horse race with WSR and West Delaware.
