Final Thoughts
There is a large group of experienced teams mixed with another large group of teams that will either have completely new line-ups, or line-ups that are returning from squads that were rough. Only a few teams will be in the middle. The top competitors though – Minnewaska Area, Benson, Redwood Valley, and Morris Area, these are good basketball teams that all have a real chance at winning this section. It’s a group that is quite up for grabs.
