The 3A and 4A Greater St. Helen's Leagues balance of power is shifting. Prairie moving to 3A from 4A (where they dominate for years) and Kelso (who went to state last year in the 3A) now going from 3A to 4A has given a new look to both divisions in the area. We are currently taking a survey on whom you think will win the 4A, (now that Prairie is no longer there), and a 3A survey is coming soon, but let's talk a bit about the shift of power.
In the 3A last year it was Fort Vancouver (winning league), Kelso and Union (the new kids on the block) then Camas, Columbia River and Hudson's Bay. This year with the addition of Prairie and the loss of Kelso, and Fort losing it's senior crop, and everyone returning for Union (last year they had no seniors), Camas had a young team also last year and should be stronger, this year the 3A looks like it could be very interesting. Bay, Fort, and River with their new coach may struggle early, but in girl's basketball "you never know". Stay tune for when we post the 3A survey. It will be interesting to see what you all think.
In the 4A, with Prairie leaving, everyone now feels as if they have a shot at the title. Kelso going up to 4A will make it tough for the old guard. Skyview should be a contender once again but they lost some key seniors. Heritage actually looks to be the strongest team on paper, but the game isn't played on paper. Mountain View will be competitive, Evergreen and Battle Ground may struggle early but as I said "you never know with girl's hoops". Be sure to vote, we'll be removing this survey in November.
We will take an in debt look in to the 2A next time. Breaking out every team and giving you our opinion on who's going to take the league championship and who's going to state. We'll also be giving a team by team break down on the 3A and 4A forth coming. For now, just starting some conversation.
