2 players left off the list were mentioned in the article and will be studs this year. Sr RB Todd Asbury and Jr RB Travis Downing. Asbury had 4 100+ yd rusing games early in the year before he suffered a high ankle sprain and Downing will be a MAN at FB. Both benched 285+ squatted 500 and deadlifted 500+ in competition this winter. The other left off mentioned in the article, Sr RB Ryan Collins ran for 160 yds in playoff loss to Western last year. Another name for the future is incoming freshman RB Mitchell Allen who will be a legit college recruit in a few years. Remember the name.

As for the district race, it will be very balanced. North beat all 3 last year, but have to replace a very talented group of linemen.
