Schedules are out

What's everyone notice about some early matchups?

Audubon @ Exira/EHK stood out to me.

That was one that stood out to me. Only knock I will have on it is, its Audubon's first game in the class. Tough game for them right out of the gates having get matched up with one of the better teams in the last 5 years with a lot returning in Exira-EHK.

The one to me that really stuck out is Coon Rapids-Bayard @ Newell Fonda in week 1. That should be a heck of game I would think. Even though both teams lose a fair amount of kids, they are extremely well coached and very very physical.

Based on Quikstats, Coon doesn't appear to lose much. NF does, but returns their leading tackler. Also, both of these games should be fun to watch!
Glidden Ralston @ GTRA
Lenox vs FM
 
Tri-county & English Valley under 20 miles apart, both 1 win teams last year and don't play each other? Instead match TC up with Lone Tree. Lone Tree's will have about as many seniors as TC will returning players.

English Valley going to Melcher (also 1 win) is ok, 5 win Twin Cedars is not bad but Tri-county makes more sense.

Mormon trail with 6 players returning playing 1 or 2 loss Moravia? I think they both sides wouldn't have minded driving a little farther for a better game.

Audubon, 8-2 last year and coming down a class, looks like a good matchup.

Don Bosco & 2 win Iowa Valley? AGWSR would have been better instead of sending them to 2 win Dunkerton, Just swap those. IV & Dunk, AG & DB.

Edit: Opps DB & AGWSR play in district, DB & Lone Tree would be a good game.

AGWSR vs COLO should also be pretty good. One of the leading rushers in 8 man, Garret Tiarks is back for COLO, and AGWSR is dropping down from class A.

Northwood Kennsett vs WBM looks good as well. I am not sure what either team has coming back, but both teams have been strong the last 2 years.

Is it me, or is Week 1 loaded with more big games than in years past?
 
How about Midland and Don Bosco week 1? A rematch from last year where the game was canceled right after halftime. There is a lot of animosity between these two teams, at least from Don Bosco's players point of view there is. I can tell you that this is going to be a very good game and Don Bosco is hyped for another chance to play Midland since they were unable to finish the game because of the weather. Their was a lot of talking coming from the Midland side and that was not only from the players. Midland's head coach even said to Coach Yoder that they have "bigger fish to fry" in HLV. All in all this game is going to be interesting to say the least!
