Interesting picks in Region 3, but I don’t see Shiloh, Linton and Strasburg-Zeeland all missing the playoffs. Kidder County has a lot of kids back, and so does South Border, but South Border lost its two best players in Rueb and Pinke. Napoleon also lost some key players, but should be in the hunt for playoff spot. Didn’t Central McLean lose 8 or 9 seniors from last year? In Class B, that is a lot of players to lose from one year to the next. Linton, Shiloh and Strasburg were essentially cleaned out from last year, and I don’t know what Shiloh has coming up. That has happened to Linton many times in the past, but they always seem to put a competitive team together. Strasburg lost 7 seniors—all of whom were key players for them the last 3 years. They will definitely struggle early, but they have some good athletes, and should be okay by the end of the season. Should be some good games within Region 3 during the season, but I think it will be one of the weaker regions overall in the east.
