Basically the same players back for Collins which is a good thing. They could have worked hard over off season to get stronger which is a good thing. The coaching staff could have made changes in off season which is a good thing. They have a couple of really good players (possible D1) which is a good thing. The problem I see is not enough good supporting cast to go around their good palyers and even if the players worked hard over the off season to get stronger and coaches made good changes, it would have to be huge improvements to get to the level of the top teams in 4A and I just do not think it is possible with what we saw last year. Wish them the best, but I just see average team that benefits from weak schedule and weak side of playoff bracket. They were runners ups last year, but I would rank them around 8th in 4A at the end of last year. Not putting Collins program down; I like the school and hope they continue to get better, I just do not think they are as good as a lot of people want to make them out to be.

Alright, that's a fair assessment. In my opinion, I don't see very many teams this year in 4A that will be better than them other than maybe 3 or 4, but I could be wrong. I also think that Collins has a strong supporting cast around their star players, and hopefully they will prove me right this year. Either way, it appears that Collins will have a very good season this year.
