Ranking the Contenders
The #1 Contender
Western Christian
Background: They are the defending champions for a reason
and have a deep history of success. This club is battled tested from a
brutal regular season schedule and knows what it takes to win in the playoffs.
This club is dangerous with their size and bench.
The Next
Five
Aplington-Parkersburg
Cascade
Dyersville-Beckman
IKM-Manning
New Hampton
Background: Beckman will benefit a great deal
after playing a winter of WaMac competition. IKM-Manning must prove this
postseason that they belong among this group, even with an undefeated record.
Five Others
Anamosa
Forest City
Monticello
Pella
Christian
Treynor
Background: Forest City is one of the hottest teams in
the state and has the high scoring guards needed to excel in the playoffs.
A sleeper to watch out for
Kuemper Catholic
Background:
Throw the record out the window. This team is young and will be more
mature by February and ready to play with a tough road during conference play.

Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn - 7 steals (1/13)
