I think Class A football in the Eastern half of the state could have some excellent defenses. Quite a few teams are returning key players in the trenches. Larimore should be very big, as usual, and though they lost some good skill players, the guys up front can more than make up for it. Those Hofer kids are massive. How Larimore's skill positions turn out is what will decide how they match up with teams like Carrington and PRFL. PRFL returns most of their linemen on both sides of the ball, along with all 4 kids who started at LB last year (and all 4 of them are very good), so I think PRFL be very good up front, as well. Rugby lost some key pieces but I have a hard time believing they won't be competitive. I don't know anything about Harvey, but of course they have a long football tradition so it's great to see them playing Eastern ball again. I wouldn't overlook Langdon just yet. They were young last year and have a pretty good quarterback, from what I understand. No idea about Lakota/Adams. They had a lot of kids out last year so they could definitely be competitive, as well. Region 2 should be very tough. Region 1 will no doubt field quite a few good teams as well. There will be plenty of good football.
I don't know anything about the Western half of the state but towns like Hazen and Killdeer will probably field good teams, as usual.
