Right behind Canadian in Region I is Albany. The Lions ranked third in the state and are looking to improve on a stellar season in 2009 which led them to a second place finish to Cayuga in the state finals.
The Haskell Indians are the only other Big Country team in Division I predicted to make the playoffs in 2010. The Indians are ranked 40th in the state and are predicted to finish third in District 4-A behind both Albany and Seymour.
