Ahhh, the Highland Conference.

This conference was a killer a few years ago, but times change. Well they change everywhere but Beal City, where the only change is the new tractors in the fields.

As such, Beal City has to be the favorite in the Highland this year.

Lake City, and Evart-- I hope you enjoyed your time in the playoffs, because you won't be there again this year.

Manton, set your sights on Lake City and Evart, you might be able to get some W's.

I think Marion and Pine River will fight it out for second, and both could very well be playoff teams.

That leaves us with McBain. Oh how the mighty have fallen. But fear not McBain, for ye shall be resurrected. Your savior shall be called "King." Keep an eye on this kid folks, he will be an absolute sensation in the North for the next three years. You heard it here first.

McBain may not win a lot this year, but they've got the makings of a heck of a team in the next few years.

Word is last year McBain was 50% down in tryouts. Kids didn't like the coach (so I hear) and what they had is what they had.

Now they've hired in-house to a guy that appears to be respected in the community and I hear a lot of talk how this program will be quickly turned around. However, we all know, highschool football is never a quick turn-around. It will be interesting to see. However with LC, PR, and Manton struggling. I still like McBain to have a shot getting out of the conference.
