Concordia Academy-Roseville. They are really becoming a more consistent program.
Hmong Academy. Played only 14 games last year that were recorded, winless in all that were recorded.
Math & Science Academy. Math & Science or Science & Ag. How do you pick?
Minneapolis Roosevelt. Hannah brothers and Martez lead for Coach Mestas.
Minnehaha Academy. Loaded with talent. In every class. Big, fast, strong, etc.
Mounds Park Academy. Won six games last year.
New Life Academy. Can they recover now that Conrad is in college?
St. Agnes. I feel like kids transfer out of there so much.
St. Croix Lutheran. Return their starting group, working to repeat
St. Croix Prep. No Mike scoring 34 a game, what will they do?
St. Paul Academy. Can Dalante and Kent lead them back to state?
St. Paul Washington. .500 team that struggled in league play.
Trinity School. Eddie leads the squad over .500
St Paul Humboldt. Won 8 last year, .500 this year?
Thoughts
- I don't see Minnehaha Academy falling unless their is a chemistry issue. You have senior quality in Benny Larry and Jake Richardson, 2020 super standouts Jalen Suggs and Terry Lockett, monster number big Ja'Vonni Bickham, and junior wing scorer Freddy Reeves. Plus others. Way more depth at every spot than others.
- St. Croix Lutheran would be my pick if it hadn't been for 1.) Minnehaha talent depth, 2) Bracket Buster struggle in July, 3) memory of SPA not repeating bleeds to them. The definitely could though, they have a strong senior class.
- Felt horrible for Robert Mestas last year having to go to the locker room at the half for health reasons in the section final. They could make a run with the Hannah brothers and Martez Rogers. Good players.
- Oh year St Paul Academy. They lost a lot of role players and their coach but the heart and soul of that team is Kent and Dalante who return for one last go round.
- Can somebody knock one of those four out? Man I don't know. It's a pretty big talent dip from there.
