I agree Tez. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Ryle ended up winning the 33rd this year. Coleman is one of the more underrated players in the area and Stauffer has really improved since last year.

I too think Holmes is the hands down favorite but Boone, Highlands, and Ryle will battle it out for trying to take over as the 2nd best team in the area.

I'd give Highlands and Boone the early nod over Ryle though since Highlands returns everyone from last year and Boone returns 4 of their top 7 from last year.

I just think Ryle is to big for BOONE. As you stated in another thread Boone lost Spaulding, McFarland, and Brown. Those three was the heart and soul of that team. Gabbard is a great pg, but with McFarland's leadership and play making ability gone, I think they will struggle to score against good half court defense. They seem to lack an outside game. I see Ryle playing an packed in defense and I see it giving Boone fits. I could be wrong but I got a feeling about Ryle this year. It seems every year Ryle has the height and hype. But this the year I see Ryle making some noise.
