Mike Says: The Badgers return 15 starters from a Regionals team last year. In the regular season last years their 5 wins came against team with a combined record of 10-41 while their losses came against teams with a combined record of 29-15. That being said, they take care of the teams they should and they should be able to take care of their district this year. Expect them to go 5-5 or 6-4 in the regular season and then to the Area or Regional round again.

Chris Says: Bruni has been a solid team for years. You can always count on 6 wins and a playoff run. This year could be a bit more as the Badgers bring back a lot of experience and their district is not overly strong. Falls City handed it to them twice last year and will likely be a playoff opponent. Bruni will have revenge on their mind, but it will again be their biggest test of the season.
