The girls 3A-3 lost three good teams and picked up three good ones. Tuckerman, Earle, and Rivercrest. Also, no one other than Hoxie lost key players and I understand they picked up one from Manila. Top to bottom it will be MORE competitive than last year. There won't be a state championship contender in my opinion like EPC, but there will be teams from the region in the state making noise.
Also, I had heard Spaletta was coaching Earles' girls and now am told it is Coach Witherspoon. Who is it Bulldog fans?

Neither one. Hughes

Marmaduke went down to 2A and is in the same conference as EPC.

Who will the Conference between the boys and girls? Any thoughts how the conference might turn out

In my opinion Marmaduke's girls will win this conference I've seen them play twice they are a very talented team. Coach Hoffman @ Marmaduke knows what he is doing he has had to start Sophomores & Juniors B/c , he doesn't have any Seniors. He has done well with what he has.

EPC & Marmaduke will be a battle for the conference in Boys BBall. EPC is very talented & Marmaduke is also. Marmaduke goes deep, if EPC can't bring people of the bench to make a difference Marmaduke wins this conference.

It's a long season and Hoffman does well with what he has. I think he's a year away from the top spot once these sophs move up.
Riverside's seniors have too much chemistry and work well together.
EPC has Madden and company, enough said.
The rest of the conference is chasing EPC and Riverside.

The game when EPC goes to riverside will be one to watch.... Buster will have them boys ready

I believe the boys will @ EPC will beat Riverside & the girls we were talking about from EPC will also beat Riverside.
