How good do you think West Lyon will be this year? They replace a good chunk of their line.
I think they have a tough district. Hinton and western are the teams to beat for sure. Hinton is tough and well coached and western just gets better athletes than any school around.
also heard from an area coach the West Lyon boys haven't been working very hard this spring/summer. a lot of time until football season but expect West Lyon to have a down year.
My guess for this district would be
Western Christian
Hinton
West Lyon
Emmetsburg
Okoboji
Sibley Ocheyedan
Unity Christian
Alta Aurelia
Going back to the smaller playoff field will be leaving some good teams at home, the top 5 teams in this district return a bunch of talent. Western and Hinton however return the most off of really good teams, where as the other 3 had some struggles last year.
