Last year, Frontier Academy pulled the late-season stunner and overcame Lamar at state. And, although FA returns a solid team this year, the coaches gave the preseason nod to a rising Alamosa team. The Mean Moose is a force to be reckoned with once again this fall.
On the girls side, Salida achieves the distinction of being the only unanimous #1 selection in all of the preseason rankings. Making sure the Spartans don't get too comfortable, however, are Moffat County and Kent Denver.
Note well that the 3A teams newly arrived from 2A fared very nicely in the preseason poll, with Vanguard, Liberty Common, and SkyView Academy each making appearances.
