My way too early rankings for next year

[PNation]

1. St. Albert
2. West Sioux
3. G-R
4. Lisbon
5. Lynnville Sully
6. Wapsie Valley
7. Pekin
8. St. Ansgar
9. Hudson
10. Grundy Center

St. Albert and West Sioux are close in my eyes with what they return St. Albert gets the nod with their win in the playoffs. G-R again loses a bunch but until they stop just reloading I stuggle to not put them this high. Lisbon was relatively young last year and is always well coached. Lynnville Sully is the same story but kinda stumbled at the end of they year. Wapsie has some nice pieces back but again will play in a tough district. Pekin I felt under achieved this past year, but will bring back most of their team. St. Ansgar lost some horses, but their program will still be very good and it would surprise me if they entered the post season next year undefeated. Hudson I am not sure about but they seem to bring back key contributors, but as a program kind of need to get over the last hurdle to get any higher, and Grundy Center at #10 because yes they lose Flater but bring back almost everything else.

Not sure on your Wapsie pick as they lost basically their whole line, I think they are third in that district behind Lisbon and East Buchanan next year, but like this year I think you could throw all 3 in a hat as they are that close. Lisbon does lose the 1st team All state WR and some key lineman on both sides, East Buc loses 1st team All state RB but returns pretty much their whole line.

Does Grundy Center have a replacement for their All-State RB in Flater? Without they might be a decent team, but definitely not near as dynamic on offense.
