Notes:
* Have now made it to the quarterfinals for 4 seasons in a row

Mike Says: The Beavers bring back superstar Quarterback Soto, RB Lyssy and 16 starters from last years Quarterfinal team. This year they should make it 5 years in a row to reach at least the Quarterfinals. They have a new coach but he has shown he can win at Pettus which is one of their district rivals. Look for them to go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season. D'Hanis will be a good non-district challenge and also be a force in Region IV along with Burton. Munday may be waiting in the Semifinals so it will be a tough road but the Beavers have a shot.

Chris Says: Falls City not only brings back a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, they do so from a team that has consistently performed well in the postseason. This year will be no different. Expect the Beavers to roll through District 14-1A DII once again and breeze through the first three rounds of the playoffs. After that, matchups will determine how far they advance, and at that point anything can happen.
