Shanley will be tops, because they return almost everyone.
South will be second, because even though they lost a lot of players they always reload and they had some good younger players this last year. Their JV team was tops last year, which explains why they are always able to reload with good players.
Central will be third, they only lost four seniors and I thought they were surprisingly good last year. It's always tough to go up and win in Grand Forks. On top of that, Central can come down to Fargo and get points off the Fargo teams.
North and West Fargo will fight it out for fourth. North has some okay players returning, but they lost some important pieces to their team (See Rydell and Reberg). West Fargo has some good young players returning, and some good players that will be coming up from their JV team (WF JV beat Mandan and Jamestown varsity teams in the WF Invitational). Though from what I hear their is some uncertainty at WF.
Red River was a young team last year, and they will continue to be a young team this next year. I think they are still one year away from being a force in the EDC. They are coming along though, and teams should look for them to be in the mix in 1-2 years.
