LaMoure will likely be #1 in the polls all year for 9 man. They have a very good QB and a lot of returning talent, especially with TE Ness who is one of the top FB players at any level in the state. They will be very tough to compete with until maybe the last 2 weeks of the year.
It'll be interesting to see if Cavalier continues to keep their dominance in the Region - they barely beat MV-Enderlin who are expected to be middle to bottom of the pack in R1. Time will tell, but I don't believe R2 is a gimme anymore.
Jacobson from FSHP & Arth from W-L are two RB's to watch and they both have some size & speed. I believe both are Jr.'s.
Matchup of Week 2 will be Hankinson vs. May-Port C/G. The Pirates are much stronger & better than last year, and they spread things around with very good talent at the QB, RB, & WR skill positions. And, they quietly have one of the best defensive players in the state in Jr. Ruston Kath.
Good luck to all teams and let's hope everyone stays away from any injuries this season.
