The Little Hawkeye Conference has had a reputation of being a very tough conference in many sports. Boys Cross Country is no different. Knoxville Coach Mike Moats says the L-H-C is the best conference in the state in class three-A. He says Grinnell who is ranked second in the preseason poll, and Pella who is sixth along with his bunch at number four. Moats says it will be fun to watch this season and see who comes out on top.
