Conference Commentary
Top Ten: North
The North Polars are one of three Class AA teams who I would call serious, serious title contenders. With

at forward, an assortment of power players around the basket, and some youth, North is a Class AA title contender.
Top Ten Potential: South
South is in Class AAAA and cracking the top ten at that level is tough for a young squad. That said, this is a very talented young squad and a couple big wins could vault them into that spot. South has players at every spot and they will contend with North.
Compete with Most: Southwest, Washburn, Edison, Henry
Southwest is the third team I feel could contend for the City Conference championship. They have three really good wings and forwards that will play college basketball and could possibly bring home the conference title. With a series of good wins maybe they crack a top ten but I think they will be more in the area of a top four/five section team. Washburn will give teams some runs and be much improved from their 3-9 record of a year ago. Edison is one that will be a bit of an uncertainty but you can expect them to be a tough team to play. They lost their top three guys but have some good players ready to step into those top roles plus a nice culture is starting to emerge there. Henry has some veterans returning that should make them tough to beat.
Rebuilding: Roosevelt
There have been a few rough years at Roosevelt and at the moment it looks like it could be another rough one.
