2. Jamestown, i know they didnt do a lot this year but i feel with how weak the west will be that lindberg and paimont (sp?) can carry them on their backs
3. Minot, another tending concern and i feel schmidts best option is to go somewhere south and play (he is good!) if he goes i could see them dropping as low as 6th
4. Toss up imo between willy and chs but i will go CHS the sophmores will be darn good, kovar is a stud and their goalie is any givin day on weather he is on or off??
5. Willy lost rehak and the other d man cant recall his name but decent tender
6. Dicky i thought otto was a senior?? but ya i see them this low because they imo underachieved this year i want to be a believer but they have to prove it first.
7. Mandan great season this year, but no klien, haugan, and martin makes it tough...reiopelle's stats are good someone said dobier maybe they can lead them to a top 3 finish in the west?? with no goalie i see them here though
8.Hazen they have been 9 soooo much i just want to put them here because.
9. Bottno idk 8 and 9 are interchangable..
I feel that as most people state the west will be down and i feel BHS will walk away with it again, but 2-7 should all be great games this season!!!

2. Minot.......Schmidt(top wda player) Fiddler Stremick and solid D core back..look for an improved squad
3.Williston.....Well-Coached hard working team. Nelson-18g10a Axtman-14g-7a and Evanson back
4.Dickinson....only real losses are Kaiser and Kovacs. and i believe otto will replace him nicely
5-6-7...........Jamestown-CHS-Mandan tossup........Paiment and Walden two solid players back for jtown.........Kovar and Kusler two solid players back for CHS..........Riopelle and Dobier two solid players back for Mandan. Goaltending is a big issue here....Lindberg is back for Jtown and hes solid........CHS and Mandan...who knows? From what i hear Mandan has nobody and going from Kline to a jv goalie will be hard. But if mandans D can play big and their offense somehow improves they can move up. I see century greatly improved by the end of the year again like this year
8-9...........Botno-Hazen........can give a more talented team a scare on a given night but neither team has the depth or talent to make a run at state

Bhigh - lost alot of scoring but return hochalter, richter, peterson, and romanik. interested to see the goalie situation there, i thought that was the reason they choked at state.
Bcentury - lost knutson but return some to be sophs which was a large portion of thier scoring, they were very young and return alot of experience, i see them doing well next year.
Dicky - lost kovacs but otto steps in, they return most of thier scoring and still have frenzel and little kovacs.
hazen/buelah - dont expect much out of them at all, oster was the team and now he's gone.
mandan - i think they will finish in the middle of the pack, lost kline and haugen, they have some young talent but i think they did well last year because of haugen quarterbacking.
jamestown - should be better than last year, return peiment, and lindberg, didn't lose much as well.
minot - they will finish towards the top, return most of scoring, if schmidt stays they will be up there, interesting to see how they will do without skogen.
bott - we will have to see, some young talent, but not enough to get them to state, return getzlaf but i dont see much in him... even with 3 years under his belt
williston - i think they are loaded again and will be in the top 2 in the west this year, although they lost rehak, they return most of thier scoring and return evenson who did very well towards the end of the year despite everyone, including myself, thinking he would not beable to keep them in games.
