I know first practice is still something like 9 or 10 weeks away, but anyone have thoughts on the upcoming season?
Regina brings a 3-peat team back in 1A but lost a fair number of seniors. Greene County looks to be returning their powerful 1-2 punch from last year. Waterloo Columbus' leading goal scorer return for his senior season, with a strong sophomore in the supporting spot. Sioux Center returns a good number of State Tournament experienced players. West Liberty returns 8 of the 11 who played in at least 12 of their 13 games last season.
Lewis Central, Defending 2A Champions, look to be returning a bunch of talented seniors this year. Xavier return much of their Runner-up roster and is a program that always seems to have more in the pipeline. Gilbert has graduated much of their state semifinal squad - what do they have coming up? Hudson looks to have been hit pretty hard by graduation as well.
Waukee, Defending 3A Champs return a senior leading goal scorer and a sophomore who accounted for 11 goals and 4 assists last year as a Freshman. CR Wash lost a big chunk of their goal scoring experience from last year. Bettendorf, PV, West and Valley all look to be returning strong upper classmen. Will one of them challenge for a title this year?
Here's your chance to make your predictions BEFORE the polls are released!
