Preseason is finished. The jerseys have been handed out. The cleats bought. And now it is officially time for the 2008 prep season. But, like every fall, there are always a handful of question concerning the local teams.
In football, everyone in Aspen is wondering whether or not the Skiers will have another stellar season. Can they still find offense without Tucker Eason? In Glenwood, players and coaches will be looking to another perfect season with the strong arm of quarterback Dakota Stonehouse. Yet will their state championship hopes be squashed again in the post season?
In volleyball, all eyes will be on the Basalt Lady Longhorns and their loss of key seniors, including UC Santa Barbara-bound Dayne Toney.
In soccer, can Aspen or Roaring Fork put pressure on Basalt and finally prove that there is a new league champion in the Roaring Fork Valley?
We'll find out soon enough.
