Belle Plaine. Six wins last year, must be better this year.
Blue Earth Area. Another six win club that we though would be better.
Fairmont.Where did that exchange student go? Man was he good.
G-F-W. Seth Schuette, a very good player that will make a difference.
Glencoe-Silver Lake. Feel like last year was that state chance.
Jordan. Jimmy V of Jordan, about to break out as a dominator.
Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial. Guys here know how to play.
Maple River. Not quite as big, but will be good. Solid returning talent.
Medford. Five wins but don't be mad, great deals down there!
NRHEG. The ball is now in the hands of Oakley Baker.
Norwood-Young America. They will improve by 5-7 games this year.
Shattuck-Saint Mary's. I didn't even know they hooped down there.
Sibley East. Struggling program right now.
St. Peter. Watch Colton Lusty, kid can play.
Tri-City United. Fans there are ready for a run.
Waterville-Elysian-Morristown. MIACs will love Zac Olson, tough kid.
LeSueur-Henderson. So many graduation losses, tough to duplicate.
Saint James Area. Still wondering about that three seed last year.
Ten Thoughts
- Went down to Kato East for that section sub-finals with NRHEG, WEM, Maple River, and Waseca and that was playoff basketball man. Incredible atmosphere.
- Maple River has talent but they get it done because they defend. Well coached defensively. I was bouncing around in the press area watching them compete.
- Maple River fills in gaps. Will Keller and Jeff Lewis now with big roles and guys will be around them that know how to play.
- Oakley Baker, time to roll young man. Good wing size, has grown, its your time. I think he is going to have a really big year.
- Norwood Young-America has a couple guys that can play. Kellen Erpenbach should get solid numbers at the ac. The Central Raiders (that's their other name, which is interesting) will be better.
- Zac Olson used to low post brute his way to success. Can still do that but I liked his face-up game improvements this year.
- Jimmy Vollbrecht could be a legit monster. His game improvements to the arc blew me away but he never lost that edge either. Fun kid to watch play.
- I must of missed something, Shattuck-St. Mary's is hooping now? Did they always and just not play under MSHSL rules? Nice to see a new team yes but that caught me off guard.
- Mentioned him before but watch out for Colton Lusty the battler. St. Peter will be better and he is a key reason.
- NYA, Belle Plaine, GSL, Jordan, they are close to NHR head quarters. Expect to see a couple games there this winter.
