North Dakota Preps

who will be the teams to beat next year out of the WDA and EDC?

heres my predictions as of now they could change easily.
WDA
1. Minot- a lot of players back, only lose Lundy and Nelson.
2. Century- top 2 pitchers back, handful of position players back-as of now they have some coach/player problems so that could maybe affect them.
3. St. Mary's-only one starter gone, Bohan, which will really hurt them.
4. Dickinson- they will have a decent pitching rotation and some good hitters.
5. Bismarck- they lose some solid players
6. Jamestown- not really sure
7. Mandan- lose some good seniors, infield should be good, will have some pitching issues.
8. Williston- lose a ton of seniors, Qvale, Kvernum, & Erikson are only upcoming Seniors.
9. Belcourt- last as usual
5-7 are all close

EDC:
I would say North, Red River, South, and West Fargo will fight for the top. Central wont be too far behind.

didnt central only lose 2 seniors?

Central lost Tim Gregoire (1st base) John Greicar (SS) Jake Landry (LF/P) Sam Wedin (RF) Nick Wright (P) and a couple Bench kids but still have Alex Kreis (2B/P), Danny Meyer (3B/P) who will more than likely play SS next year, Joel Riopelle (CF/P), and Alex Moe (C) back for starters...It should be interesting to see how they shape up...they have some good up and coming players from JV that will only be Freshmen and should be good in a few years...I think that GFRR will have a strong team next year though...They have their starting 3B Charlie Miller, SS Eric Melland, 2B Jeff Compton, CF Jarret Galbraith, LF Dan Jones, and Catcher Andy Sadler back for next season as well as some pretty deep pitching coming up...Loosing Spies and Sean Potter will be a tough blow though.

EDC Predictions:

1. Red River

2. Fargo North

3. Fargo South

4. Central

5. West Fargo

6. Devils Lake

7. Fargo Shanley

8. Wahpeton
