Mid-Prairie head coach Justin Lutjen said this is a team that leaves a legacy that new players want to continue even before they get to high school.

“It’s hard to say that this team stands out, because every year we have lost a couple of great seniors, but that core of that team has been together since they were freshmen, and the legacy they leave is unbelievable. The kids that were in fourth grade the first time they went to state, now they are coming into a program that has gone to state every year, not it is an expectation,” Lutjen said. “Now, without even having to earn anything yet, they believe they are the team to beat, and they believe that Fort Dodge is the destination, where they should end up every single year.”

Mid-Prairie finished as conference champions with a 12-2 record.
