This may be the most depth we've seen out of the Jeffco 5A League in several years.
If they can stay healthy--something that has plagued this team in recent years--Dakota Ridge looks to be the strongest team coming into next fall's campaign.
But, the Eagles won't exactly be coming in with a high margin of comfort. Five or so teams are nipping at their tail feathers. A solid summer here, a high-impact incoming freshman there, and whatever lead Dakota Ridge appears to have could disappear in a hurry to teams like Lakewood, Columbine, Chatfield, Arvada West, and Ralston Valley.
