The 5AAA Profile

We are here to discuss Section 5AAA, a section won by five different teams in the last six years. Guess what?  It’s wide open again.    5AAA Power Rankings Delano Fridley Monticello Rocori St Francis Big Lake Zimmerman Becker   The Section 15 First Team Tucker HaakonsonTuckerHaakonson6'1" | SGRocori | 2021StateMN of Rocori (Sr) Jack IversonJackIverson6'6" | PFBig Lake | 2021StateMN of Big Lake (Sr) Trey LongstreetTreyLongstreet6'7" | SFDelano | 2021StateMN of Delano (Sr) Micah NiewaldMicahNiewald5'10" | PGFridley | 2021StateMN of Fridley (Sr) Cody PennebakerCodyPennebaker6'2" | SGSt. Francis | 2022StateMN of St. Francis (Jr)   Second Team Matthew BothunMatthewBothun6'6" | PFSt. Francis | 2023StateMN of St. Francis (Soph)  Christian CrockettChristianCrockett5'10" | PGFridley | 2021StateMN of Fridley (Sr) Nolan SpenceNolanSpence6'2" | SFZimmerman | 2021StateMN of Zimmerman (Sr) Brady ThompsonBradyThompson6'0" | SGMonticello | 2022StateMN of Monticello (Jr) Wyatt WindhorstWyattWindhorst6'4" | SFBig Lake | 2021StateMN of Big Lake (Sr)   Third Team Luke HumbertLukeHumbert6'0" | SGRocori | 2021MN of Rocori (Sr) Carson KollesCarsonKolles5'9" | PGMonticello | 2022StateMN of Monticello (Jr) Eli Nelson of Fridley (Jr) Jayden PhilippiJaydenPhilippi5'11" | PGRocori | 2021StateMN of Rocori (Sr) Carter ToolCarterTool6'7" | PFDelano | 2021StateMN of Delano (Sr)   Final Thoughts Like we said at the top, five different champs in the last six years.  It hasn’t always been as wide open in terms of competitive nature as Delano was a massive favorite last year but each year there seems to be a new squad leading the pack.  This year things are completely wide open.  Delano enters as the favorite and they only have one player back that has big experience, but he is the best player in the league. Overall, this is a league that had one dominant team last year, three .500 level teams, and four teams with seasons that were often a struggle.  This year there is no dominant team, and a bunch of squads that will be decent or bad.  So, wide open section. If any team steps forward and finds a great chemistry they could be the champs.
