My 2006 WDA predictions:
1.Bismarck - good experience back, solid pitching, overall no real holes, challenge here will be the reliance upon tooo many young players to improve and/or be in a position to help carry the team
2.Minot - they will again "reload", some good experience back, will hit and good pitching depth, will not be as solid or as deep as the previous few years but will be a contender for the crown again
3.Century - solid experience overall, good jr. class, should be able to score and play sound defense, pitching depth could be biggest weakness
4.Williston - solid overall, liffrigs situation will play heavily upon their outcome
5.St. Mary's - experienced players, only 2-3 with solid skills, will have trouble scoring runs, pitching depth real questionable
6.Dickinson - too young, solid coaching will makes them tough to deal with
7.Mandan - no real standouts, limited pitching
8.Beulah - few solid returnees, no pitching, stopper.
9.Belcourt - they need to reverse history before being considered above this slot.
