Final Thoughts
The only team with a chance to stop the Maple Grove five year run of section titles is the Moorhead Spuds. They are a veteran team with four returning 5/6 bucket a game guys from a 21 win team. The Spuds can challenge but Maple Grove will be bigger, deeper, more athletic, and more talented so they are the heavy favorite. STMA, Buffalo, and Brainerd all have individual stars in Tennyson, Bluiett, and Rushin respectively but there is so much inexperience around them this year.
