The 3A Rundown
Of all the teams trying to return to the state tournament – of the teams that have the talent to return to state in Class A – RTR might have the toughest path. RTR surely has the talent to return but Lakeview brings back most of their top players and they have Southwest Minnesota State committed Nathan Fenske Nathan Fenske 6'2" | SG Lakeview | 2023 State MN . And Dawson-Boyd has a great young core with future division one prospect Brayson Boike Brayson Boike 6'8" | PF Dawson Boyd | 2025 State #326 Nation MN plus a few returning veterans. Westbrook-Walnut Grove has a lot back and then knocked off Southwest Minnesota Christian last year, and speaking of SWMC, that’s a team that is always good but they did graduate a lot. Don’t count them out but now they have a lot of good players to replace. We think MCC will take a step and many teams in this league have good players. So yes RTR will be good, but they will have a tough road in trying to return to state.
