Final Thoughts
When I first started writing about high school basketball in 2004-05 I recall talking about Mankato East versus Mankato West games several times in those early years. The games drew such interest that they would play them in the Taylor Center, and I don’t mean the section games, I mean the regular season contests. I’m not sure East vs West will need the Mavericks to host this year but I do know that East vs West will draw a lot of interest. Both teams lost a guy to transfer (Buom Jock from West to a Virginia football prep and TJ Kueth left East and moved south) and oddly enough these schools have two of the five known names to leave the state for a transfer. However, Worthington guard Meer Opiew transferred to East so they replaced a good player with another good player. The BJ Omot BJ Omot 6'8" | PF Mankato East | 2022 State #231 Nation MN vs Mekhi Collins Mekhi Collins 6'5" | PF Mankato West | 2022 State MN match-up will be must see TV plus those around them are good as well. Marshall won’t fade away, St. Peter has some good players, and Jordan has a strong backcourt, but this is East vs West.
