I have said a couple of times now the top five in Class C-2 - Yutan, Battle Creek, Centennial, Valentine, St. Paul in my book - is the most balanced and wide open of any class. Thoughts?
Class C-2 Balance
- Thread starter Huskerland Bob
- Start date
I think you will find as season starts you will add about three teams to that list and yes you will have 8 teams all with a very balanced shot at the title. Just saying because I have seen St Paul, Valentine and Centennial during the summer against a couple of other teams that will emerge as season goes, to be as good if not surprisingly better than some of those teams, but that was summer TIME will tell
C2 always seems so balanced. I was happy to see Valentine bounce back last year, I hope they can keep it going.
It'll be interesting to see how Oakland-Craig is this year, they lost some studs off last years quarterfinal team.
I'd love to see Battle Creek get over the hump of the semi-finals.

STC, Sutton Doniphan T, Hershey, NPSP, Battle Creek, Wilber, oakland Craig, Central City, and Centennial all have lots of match ups with these teams in the first three weeks so thing will clear up quick this year and that top 6 to 8 will rise fast
I would agree with Bergan but Shelby has been a year away for two years now but you might be right
SRC did go undefeated in there 7v7 league this summer, beating among others Neumann, Aquinas & St. Paul. I don't know that these teams were at full strength but it does show they have athletes to compete.
They may very well win it all, but we will know soon enough
but I would not put stock in 7 on 7
I'm anxious to see how Valentine does this year against Winner SD. Winners team last year would have dominated C-1 and C-2 in Nebraska. They lost a lot to graduation so hopefully the Badgers will get them this year.

I dont think they have anyone on the team that will help them much, that wasnt out last year
Didn't they have like 4 or 5 kids transfer in? Wasn't the stoner kid from Filmore?
I said nothing of them winning it all. The subject of this thread is C2 balance, which I offered a couple teams that were not mentioned elsewhere in the thread.
A few big C2 games this Friday...
-Arcadia-Loup City at NPSP
-Bergan at Ponca
-Battle Creek at Yutan
-BRLD at Hartington Cedar Catholic
-Centennial at Central City
-Doniphan-Trumbull at Sutton
-Malcolm at Oakland-Craig

No one has mentioned Ponca, which returns a great core of athletes from last year and Lutheran High will make some noise as they have added some depth from recruiting!!! my top five are in no particular order: BC, Ponca, Valentine, LHNE, WC
Lutheran could be a tough out if that Clausen kid gets healthy before the end of the year
