<p>Cromwell-Wright won the league last season with just one loss. A nice showing by them. Can they repeat? Can any of the teams in the conference have an overall record above .500 this year? We jump into the Polar (small) today!</p>

<p><strong>Top Contenders: </strong>Carlton-Wrenshall, Cromwell-Wright</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Based on all the returning players from Carlton and Wrenshall, and of course the schools combining, Carlton-Wrenshall should be very good assuming the chemistry comes together well. They have last year's league MVP, two first team players and a second team player all joining together. That's going to be tough to beat. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cromwell-Wright doesn't have quite that type of firepower but in some ways what they have might be better: they have five of their top seven players (two of which were all league) returning with a chemistry that is set. Carlton-Wrenshall has the bigger upside with returning talent but Cromwell-Wright's players have been through things together already.</p>

<p><strong>Compete with Most</strong>: Floodwood, McGregor</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Floodwood was somewhat of an up and comer last year. They have some good young players and I would expect them to be a bit better. McGregor was hit the hardest by graduation although they do have a couple rotation guys back. </p>
