I would not count Bradley out just yet. I remember reading this same stuff after the 03-04 season when the bears lost nine seniors just like they did this year, and this team has more returning medalists than the 05 team did. Now don't get me wrong, Cleveland and Soddy will still be the teams to beat, but Bradley will probably be better than what you are giving them credit for. The coaches will have the team ready to go next season.

** Not bad for a team that had two returing medalists coming back and 9 varsity spots to fill and not a lot of talent coming back, and they won that state title without recruiting any move-ins.
