I honestly do not really know.
Kindred will be good. They lost quite a bit but they have a very good Junior class that can fill some roles. They really needed a QB and they have the kid from Thompson that moved into town so that filled the one big week area. Running backs will be led by Swenson who could be one of the best running backs in the state and they have refilled the line led by Sunram.
MPCG is a wild card for me. Coming from 9 man to playing 11 man... you never know.
CC lost quite a bit and I know they have some key seniors back but I just don't know if they will compete in the trenches.
HCV.... Lost quite a bit including the coaching staff and maybe some of the culture that has been part of the winning program. They have plenty of kids but I don't know about the size and line play.
Lisbon... They are always tough because they throw a bunch of wrestlers on the field and they are tough kids they will stand with anyone. I don't know if the talent pool is deep enough.
NC... I just don't see it. They have had problems getting kids to come out for the program. Maybe that changed and they will surprise me.

Ellendale
I spoke with a Parent at Baseball this summer and they said they should be really good with talent but the size would be there only problem. I honestly do not know.
Also normally lots of Oak Grove fans on here. What is the deal with no program? I heard from a few friends in small towns that told me that OG is trying to set up independent games with them. Just curious if they can not get kids to come out? Do they just not have the culture to get kids to play football?
And do they just not want to play because they get beat all the time?? I know in todays culture it is ok to do that but I just don't like it. Stanley did that for a year or two.

Not sure on the resume at all just what I was told at another baseball game this summer at HCV. They said he was a first time head coach and that the whole coaching staff was new. I have not clue if that is true or not but would love to hear from someone in the program to clear things up.
I know that had an OK JV program last year but not great and I don't think they brought a lot back from last year. I don't see them finishing at the bottom but I don't think it will be a team like we are used to seeing out of HCV.
I get the safety concern of a program only have young kids playing but why play at all then? Sargent County is going to play their varsity and they will good this year... so why play them? NC is going to play their varsity... and they will have plenty of big kids playing?

No clue their reasoning on playing a few varsity programs…NC is their homecoming week…want to really know why? Call the school and ask their AD why…he made the decision and they ended up having to find a new coach too.

I know that there is Zero chance NC and Sargent are going to not play their Seniors and not going to play the game to win.
