Top Returning O-Lines Class 1A

Picking the top returning Offensive Lineman was a very challenging feat.  It was a lot of digging through who was lost and who is coming back.  An offensive line could be hurt by departures of a few players or could be strengthened.  This was one of the toughest things positions groups to pick.

High School Stats
Yuma HS Yuma graduated just 3 seniors from their team and none of them were offensive lineman.  Yuma is returning all 5 starters, but improvement will be needed amongst this group.  Yuma could be very explosive this year on offense due to this offensive line.
Burlington HS Burlington is potentially losing 2 starters on the offensive line but have 6 seniors who will be battling with the underclass man for a starting spot.  Burlington offense is returning a ton of skill players but their offense will only be as productive as their offensive line.
Meeker HS Meeker may be losing a ton of skill players but their offensive line may be losing just 1 starter.  This offensive line was rebuilt last year and should continue to improve heading into this year.  Meeker offensive line will have to step up to help the younger skill players develop.
Wray HS Wray had just 4 seniors graduate last year and possibly 1 or 2 starters on the offensive line.  Wray must continue to develop their offensive lineman this year and this run heavy offense could be very hard to stop.  A few players will need to step up to help this offensive line become a power house.
Limon HS Have I mentioned how tough the North Central league is going to be.  Limon is the 4th school from the North Central to listed on top returning offensive line.  Limon may be losing three of their starters on the offensive line but with plenty of experience returning this group could help lead a very potent offense.
Centauri HS Centauri graduated a very solid class but look to quickly reload on offense.  Centauri potentially losing 3 or 4 starters on the offensive line but with Bennie Chacon returning he will lead this offensive line group and will get them up to speed quickly.
Strasburg HS Strasburg senior class was good all around including their offensive lineman.  Strasburg could potentially be losing 4 starters on the offensive line but look to have enough players returning to help this new group of skill players.  Strasburg will need players to step up if they plan on their offense being effective.
Wiggins HS Wiggins continues to rebuild and with a senior class of just 6 graduating they look to take the next step.  Wiggins is potentially losing just 2 starting offensive lineman.  Wiggins should be much tougher up front on the offensive line.
Crowley County HS It’s hard to see exactly what Crowley County is losing but they always seem to have a solid offensive line.  Crowley County could be losing 3 starts but with a solid group of seniors coming up they will be tough.
Buena Vista HS Buena Vista could potentially be losing just 3 starters on the offensive line.  Buena Vista had two tough years but look to get back on track with a solid group of linemen returning.  Look for Buena Vista to make a run with a solid offensive line coming back.
Florence HS Florence is dropping from 2A to 1A this year and after a few rough years will be looking to rebound.  Florence could potentially be losing 3 starters on the offensive line but should have enough experience returning to be solid.
Peyton HS Peyton was hit hard by graduation on the offensive line losing potentially 4 starters on the offensive line.  What I do see for Peyton is plenty of size returning plus a team that seem to have found their identity as a power rushing offense.  Peyton must quickly get their line up to speed.
Cornerstone Christian Cornerstone Christian may be losing a solid group of senior offensive lineman.  Cornerstone Christian though has 4 upcoming seniors who could help this offense become very potent.  I see this offensive line really taking the next step this next year.
Other Offensive Lines to watch for Paonia, Grand Valley, Rye, Platte Canyon, Rocky Ford, Cedaredge, Olathe, Holyoke, Monte Vista, and Lyons
