My predictions for this year
1: New Town
2: Powers Lake
3: Mandaree
4: Kenmare
5: White Shield
6: Stanley
7: North Shore Plaza
8: Ray
It will be a battle of the top 3 for a trip to state but I believe New Town will have the edge once there guards get some experience.
New Towns first game is against Powers Lake so we will see only first game of year but good early test for both teams. Imo
What are other people's thoughts ?

I spent 5 minutes comparing the 2 lists figuring I was missing something.

They are well coached, play team basketball, & should be hungry (finished 3rd in Region 8 tourney the last two years). If White Shield can get their kids to play with discipline & believe in their ability -- they actually have the next best team. Mandaree can score but will have to play defense. New Town will have size but not sure if their guard play will be good enough when tourney time gets here.
1. Powers Lake
2. White Shield
3. New Town
4. Mandaree
5. Stanley
6. Kenmare
7. North Shore Plaza

Powers Lake is down three more due to injuries. One is out for sure but the other two should be back (as well Van Berkom) by mid January.

Quick question: Are these late season football injuries or early season bb injuries? That is a terrible string of bad luck. Hope they all get healthy and can make a late season run.
Also, seems Mandaree has a nice string of wins going. Are they surprising people in Region 8?
