The honor came despite the fact that Head Coach D.J. Whittemore must replace 15 of his top 18 players from a team that posted a 48-17 record and won the NJCAA Western District title for a third time.

And even that depends on how the folks in Washington, D.C., handle the federal government's fiscal crisis.

That was the grim but expected news that came out of Friday's meeting of the Economic Forum, the group of five business leaders who by law determine how much tax revenue state government will have to spend during the two-year period that starts in July.
