Colby is going to be incredibly tough to beat next year. If the team comes together like it did a year ago look for 2003 to be the Year of the Eagle. ... Clay Center, Concordia and Abilene will all be loaded next year and any of the three could win the title.

My personal prediction would be:
1. Colby; 2, Abilene; 3, Goodland; 4, Clay Center; 5, Concordia.
