Kelso with little adjustments this coming season will be tough to compete with, with 12 State participants coming back to lead the Hilanders their depth certainly is their strong suit. Leading the charge this year is Senior and Returning State Champion Christian Freund as well as State Finalist Bryce and Jordan Miller. With a pod of 4-5 kids that are up and coming look for Kelso to be in the title hunt for the State Title in 3A.
