Bettendorf, North Scott, and Washington are the three best on the East side at this point and only Bettendorf has proved to me they could make a run for the Title against Dowling.
If this was the old format I would say Xavier is in this group also, but those days are gone and 3A will hate that.
Dowling, Waukee, Johnston, and SEP are the best in the West. I would put them in that order currently. I will throw SC West in if they can compete with Dowling, but to this point a win over Heelan looks good on paper and nothing else.
