Outlook: A slight boost in enrollment pushes Byron, champs of the White Division in 1993, into the Red Division. Five returning all-conference selections make Byron the favorite. Harvard, second last season, will challenge.
1993 state qualifiers: Byron (second round), Harvard (first round).
Quotable: Byron coach Everett Stine: “I have 24 seniors who played last year and they are used to winning.”
