Bastrop – Last year Bastrop finished 2-6 and ranked 10. On average the Bears finishes 2-5 and ranked 10. As good as the lower divisions are in Bastrop their older divisions struggle. I do seem them improving from last year I don’t see them contending.
Cedar Creek – Last season Cedar Creek finished 1-7 and ranked 12. On average the Eagles finishes 1-7 and ranked 12. Cedar Creek is the Jets of the CTYFL. They just can’t compete with the teams around them. I see them continuing to stay on the bottom of the standings.
Del Valle – I believe the Cardinals will struggle playing against teams that have been playing together for years. Could they make a splash here? They could but I believe they will fall in the mid-standings.
East Austin – The Panthers didn’t field a team with kids at this level. After review of the records of East Austin, they seem to struggle to compete in any division. I don’t see them competing for any top spot.
Elgin – Last season Elgin finished 1-7 and ranked 11. On average the Wildcats finishes 2-6 and ranked 10. At the Senior level the Wildcats struggles to get more than 2 wins a season. I don’t see that much improvement. I doubt they will be anywhere near the final 4.
Georgetown – Last season Georgetown finished 3-5 and ranked 8. On average the Texans finishes 3-5 and ranked 9. Georgetown seems not to have the foundation to rebuild as their Junior team was not very good. The Texans need a lot of help because I feel they will be nowhere near the final 4.
Hutto – Last season Hutto finished 7-1 and ranked 2. On average the Hippos finishes 4-4 and ranked 8. Hutto usually has at least 1 team that is contending. I believe this will still be the case and see 1 of the Hutto teams will be a contender.
Jarrell – The Cougars will be running with the big boys here and even though some of the top teams are not in this season they could see come success but not enough to contend yet.
Kyle – Last season Kyle finished 0-8 and ranked last at #13. On average the Invaders finishes 5-3 and ranked 6. Despite some early success they have been on the down swing. I believe we will see them improve from last year but not enough to be considered contenders.
Leander – Last season Leander finished 3-5 and ranked 9. On average Leander finishes 2-5 and ranked 10. I believe with Faith Academy taking the year off Leander will prosper from this. Talent in that area will need a home and Leander is right there. Assuming they get the talent, I see them as contenders.
North Austin – Last season North Austin finished 7-1 and ranked 1. They fell to Faith Academy in the championship. On average The Mavericks finishes 5-3 and ranked 6. North Austin has contended for the last 3 years. I believe if they can field a team then they will be able to contend for a 4 straight year.
Round Rock – Last season Round Rock fielded 2 teams that finished 4 and 7 in rankings. On average the Tigers finishes 4-4 and ranked 9. Round Rock has the potential to be a contender, but I still think they will end ranked #5. I believe they could upset teams to get over the hump and be a contender.
SAO – Last season SAO finished 5-3 and ranked 6. On average the Scorpions finishes 4-3 and ranked 7. If SAO doesn’t split players between Varsity and the Seniors like last year, they could be a contender. SAO is always that team that doesn’t get talked about really and still contends for a final 4 spot. I see them continuing to contend.
Unity – The last few years Unity has fed into North Austin but this season they are on their own. I don’t see them having much problem adjusting to CTYFL. It is easy to see them as contenders for a Final 4 spot.
In conclusion I see Hutto, Leander, North Austin, Round Rock, SAO and Unity as contenders/bubble teams. Once I get my hands on an official schedule to see who has teams then I post my pre-season Final 4 predictions along with week 1 predictions!!
