“From everything we’ve heard and seen the kid from Columbia [Allamar Alexander] is a dude. He’s going to be tough to handle. We know we are going to be a massive underdog that week.

“Nampa has athletic playmakers on the perimeter. They are getting more comfortable with their program and what Holtry wants the Bulldogs to look like,” Kuna head coach Sherman Blaser.
 
“Vallivue quarterback Lan Larison is very athletic and leads his team. The running back from Columbia Allamar Alexander is a dude and is going to be a problem for defenses.

“Buhl has steadily improved the last few years under Seth Blick. He is doing a good job over there and has some good young talent,” Kimberly head coach Rich Bishop.
 
“McKade Huft from Kimberly is a great running back and looked good at camp. Also at Kimberly, Blake Phillips at wide receiver might be the fastest player in the SCIC. If he gets loose, watch-out.

He will definitely improve that program,” Snake River head coach Jeb Harrison.
 
“Snake River will always be tough. They are the District Champs, and until they are knocked off, we will continue to work towards playing at their level. This year we have to go to Moreland, which is always a tough place to play. American Falls will also be an improved team with Coach Hollingsworth at the helm.

They return nearly everyone from the offensive and defensive lines, including their linebackers. They will be tough.

They will be looking to avenge some rough years this season and have the Tigers and the Mustangs in their sights,” Kendrick head coach Zane Hobart.
 
“Clark Fork has good numbers and could be a very tough team to play,” Lakeside head coach Chris Dohrman.
 
“Well it probably does not come as a surprise, per se, but even with Deary and Kendrick graduating a number of seniors last year, both of those teams will still be very good.

Playing Lighthouse Christian in basketball last year we found they have some real good athletes and also Murtaugh has some good athletes coming back from last year. The tape of playing Murtaugh shows that we struggled to keep them out of the end zone, so don’t let the score from that one fool you,” Hagerman head coach Joe Keeney.
