The team on the Springs heels, is Deubrook Area.  The Dolphins won 15 games last year without a senior on their roster.  Deubrook Area took Wessington Springs to the wire in the playoffs (lost 39-42) and now will have the experience edge entering the season. </p> <p>Who may take a step back? Some will say Wessington Springs although if they don’t we don’t think much.  Wolsey-Wessington went 12-8 last year and lost five of their top six guys to graduation.  They could slip a bit.  Lake Preston won seven games last year and lost their best two players to graduation.  With limited upperclassmen experience on the roster this winter the Divers may have a lot of youth on the floor. </p> <p>Take a step forward?  Castlewood.  Guard [player_tooltip player_id="968158" first="Tristan" last="Nielsen"] and big [player_tooltip player_id="963785" first="Carson" last="Kirwan"] had great seasons in 2020-21 and will be even better this winter.  Add in four more Warriors returning from the line-up and Castlewood is on the up. Arlington should also be better with All League first teamer [player_tooltip player_id="968167" first="Ryker" last="Erstad"] returning to lead the team again. Estelline/Hendricks should also improve some. Hitchcock-Tulare should be better with most of their rotation back including size and a playmaker. JVC will also be better after their two best players were underclassmen last year. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
