What are the loaded sub-Districts? I noticed D1-10 right off the bat. Pre-season #'s 1, 3, 9, and 10! What are the others?
Boys D2-3 has preseason #1 and #2 as well as HSF and Neb Lutheran who should be very solid.
D1-5 is looking pretty loaded as well with EPPJ, Riverside, and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family. That makes 7 of the preseason top 10 in 2 of the state's 12 sub-districts.

Winnebago boys will make some noise in C1! Watched them play Omaha South and they beat them in Overtime. C1 beating a class A team is pretty impressive.
It's a shame that you won't see 1 and 3 play each other until at least districts and they are only a half hour away from each other.
Winnebago looks like a good team but South is going to be terrible in Class A. There are a ton of C1-C2 teams that would beat them.
When did this happen? According to their schedules they don’t even play in 2022
Agreed, NPSP isn't afraid of competition. They consistently play C1 and C2 teams, just added D1 Elm Creek after dropping D2 A-M. Kearney Catholic is back on the regular season schedule.
Meanwhile, Maywood-HC plays three C2 teams on their regular season schedule.
I'm not sure it matters at all, personally. Looking at the schedule, I don't know where Saint Pats would fit them in. Year in, year out I think playing Elm Creek, Mullen, Ogallalla, KCHS, Gothenburg, Dundy County, and Cozad might serve them better. Apparently, Cambridge is a traditional rival. The others seem to be conference or next door neighbor. And I kind of doubt that Maywood would be remotely interested in a long-term scheduling deal. I think both schools have a schedule that suits each of them.
