Pre-season 2A Top 10

1. Des Moines Christian: These guys are absolutely loaded! Brandon Stubbs has been stellar throughout his career and this just might be the year they take it all the way.

2. Panorama: The Panthers have some fire-power in Zach Brehmer and juniors Austin Johnk and Kyle Muyskens. They should be a major player when it comes to who takes home the 2A title.

3. Sumner-Fredericksburg: The Cougars were one of the top teams in the state last year and have enough returning talent to be in the mix again this season.

4. Cascade: They basically return the entire team who went 20-4 last season. It's probably safe to say these guys will improve this season and be a team who could challenge for the title.

5. Prairie City-Monroe: The Mustangs are led by the duo of Scott Bruxvoort and Jake Fosenburg. They return a wealth of talent to give them a good shot to make a run at the title come March.

6. South O'Brien: The Wolverines have the whole team back and look like they have what it takes to be a title contender. It won't be easy, but they should make it to Des Moines in March behind the stellar play of high-scoring senior Jarod Syndergaard.

7. West Fork: The War Hawks took some hits due to graduation, but they still have stud forward Seth Tuttle and should get a boost from 6-7 freshman Payton Plagge. If they get some support in the backcourt these guys will be a tough out.

8. Pekin: This team returns a solid nucleus of players who should be more than capable of earning a trip to the state tournament.

9. Davis County: Much like Pekin, the Mustangs return a core group of players from a pretty tough team. If these guys step it up they could be a threat to make a run in March.

10. IKM-Manning: The Hawks lost some key members from last year's squad, but they have a ton of experienced seniors returning. This team can make some noise if these guys come together and provide some steady production throughout the season.
