NDSU will be gutted with graduation this year. Losing Miller will be huge for them. Cole Peyton can't throw the ball so their passing game will be limited.
Outside of Bydal they have no other forwards who can score. Gotten a lot of production from their D. GFC has also gotten the bulk of the Bantam AA kids the last few years and will after this year as well. GFC could win 2-3 in a row.
Not saying or knowing this is a reason but I believe a number of years back one of the towns didn't want to co-op anymore so they split but are now back together.
I really think that is a possibility starting this next season. With what they lose and the Jackrabbits the door is open next year. I also believe NDSU is up here the next two seasons.
