Chilton last year’s regional champion moves over to Region III and that will open the door for a new champion in Region IV, can perennial power Falls City regain the top spot or does newcomer Shiner who drops from Division I make a big impact?
The top of 13-2A Division II looks to be a two-horse race as last year’s champion Granger, who has been a perennial team that plays past Thanksgiving will duel with Burton for the crown. We are leaning to Burton this year with fifteen returning starters, while Granger is going through a bit of a transition with a new coach and a relatively young squad. Bartlett brings eleven starters back on both sides of the ball and could be a real sleeper with talented sophomore RB Eric Walker, II back to lead the way.
