And they are losing a huge senior class.<br /><br />As for Burlington and Catholic Central, those seniors provided more than just play. They provided leadership. I'll be interested to see if the junior classes can step up and repeat, that's all. I think they have tremendous potential, no doubt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981164585460878672.post-20157385394159994382012-01-02T23:08:00.376-06:002012-01-02T23:08:00.376-06:00On the boys side watch out for Appleton North.

Having said that, East Troy does have a strong class of 2014 -- and since players from the aforementioned class are sprinkled throughout the 2011 WVCA all-state list, we clearly have company in thinking those soon-to-be juniors might make some noise in the tournament. Can't wait to find out if we're right or wrong. How about you?VBuberalleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024609432966059467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981164585460878672.post-77119416865626379522012-01-02T17:23:04.013-06:002012-01-02T17:23:04.013-06:00What made you pick East Troy for d2?

Maybe won't be as strong in the back row, but they were far and away the best team in D4, and with that caliber of pieces returning I don't see anyone but Owen-Withee in they stay in D4 challanging them.onpackerlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981164585460878672.post-60740617522200571552012-01-02T12:23:19.652-06:002012-01-02T12:23:19.652-06:00Burlington and Catholic Central both lose key seni...Burlington and Catholic Central both lose key senior classes.
