The Big Country enters the 2023 season having swept the 2021 (Westbrook, Strawn) and 2022 (Westbrook, Benjamin) Class 1A state championships after having gone a couple of years without claiming the top prize.

Entering this season, the biggest question is: Can Westbrook pull off a three-peat?

Westbrook and Benjamin enter the season as the top-ranked teams in Divisions I and II, respectively, but the Big Country has a total of seven teams ranked in the Top 10 between the two Class 1A divisions.
