Hey Sportshound, know you're not from the east so I'll help ya out.

Orson, Sorenson, Hooey and Stellrecht are the better players for South this year. Along with Buchholz, anything South does this year will develop from these 5 players. Benson had better keep them happy, in line, and playing to win. Otherwise, they're in trouble.
In the Past South has had a large number of players that were returning.
As above, they'll only have 5 players returning that have had any significant varsity time.
Orson is the one that played as a Soph. on the Bruins.
He's skilled and will be South's best player.
Hooey at Def. thought He might go NAHL? But also saw him play FBall against Bismarck. He is a solid player. did well last yr for F south.
He's playing High School. Very offensive minded, doesn't focus much on defense. They'll have to develop some of these defense and quick or else Buchholz (who is probably the best tender in the state easily) out to dry. No matter how good he is, without quality defense playing back he'll get slaughtered.
out West-with Departure of Schmidt from Minot to bobcats and Romanick to Force in Jr's the West has little to lean on. the Roberts kid(Mandan) is playing Jr's somewhere also. And that was Mandans player(I thought)...
The west got drained of a lot of talent, especially in Schmidt and Romanick. It'll be tough recoveries for both teams. I think Romanick left because last year was their big shot and they couldn't pull through after they beat Central and South got knocked out, but I have no clue.
Kusler--hasn't gotten any better in my eyes, and the couple of others in Williston/ minot, but slim pickings.
Don't think any of these teams have a shot coming out of the West. The WDA will yet again be their state tournament and they'll get picked off as a bye round in the quarters.
Well the East will be the king of the hill again. Bismarck had there Opportunity last yr. to get things back to the West. now I think a Long wait.
the East has had the Youth Championships these past few yrs at Bantams and Pee Wees, and those are the next come up.
Pretty much.
But Fargo has a New High School being built and that will slow things for the Three schools there(I think).
This will only effect Fargo South, who is already in the hurt bag this year. They are gonna have to rebuild a lot. However, as far as South goes, improving their record on last years will be hard, but getting a better place at state should be easy. Grand Forks will likely dominate the next few years.
Scoring Title--East player: Ladoucer is the Fav. Orson next.
I think Orson will take it. Central has the best team but no huge stand outs, Ladouceur will be on the 3rd or 4th best team in the state, whereas Orson will be in a happy 2nd place as the leader. Knowing his family and grades, he'll have the best resume even though Ladouceur has a great point lineup from past years. Orson will have to overcome that, but shouldn't be difficult if South stacks their first line.
