Anyone want to prognosticate the 2015 Girls HS Soccer Season? Here are some quick observations from an Eastern perspective:
West:
Century lost some very good players. Will be interesting to see how they fill the gaps. Good GK
Bismarck: Don't know a lot, but in general, the Club scene in Bismarck is improving. Should bode well for Bismarck Schools.
St. Mary's: Don't know enough to say.
Minot: Will be better again this year. Got a very good player out of Florida over the winter. Saw her in a winter tournament.
Jamestown: Soccer in Jamestown continues to improve. Expect more good things out of Jamestown.
East:
Grand Forks Central: Don't know. Club scene continues to struggle for stability. Too big a town to not have some good soccer players, though.
Grand Forks RR: same
Fargo South: Very young. Got a terrific new coach in Dave Weiler. Freshman class is outstanding, and should feature several starters. They will be improved.
Fargo Davies: Big question is whether Big 12 Jr. commit Jenny Marsh plays HS, or Club again this Spring. Team should be strong, in any regard.
Fargo Shanley/OG: Will be strong. Similar to Davies, Triller is the wildcard.
Fargo North: Lost a lot of Seniors. Excellent sophomore class. COTY Michelle Crary will have a dangerous team.
West Fargo: Club scene has fallen off at HS age group.. Expect they will be competitive, but not dominant.
Sheyenne: Are they fielding a HS team this year??
Expect Minot, Century, Bismarck, and Jamestown out of the West; Davies and Shanley are the only locks out of the East. 3 and 4 will be up for grabs.
