Conference Commentary
Top Ten Right Now: Monticello
The Magic were top four in state a year ago and while there are some seniors that need to be replaced they have some fantastic young talent returning plus the best player on the team Matt Todd is a top player in state and they could be back in state.
In-Between: Rogers, Chisago Lakes, St. Francis
Chisago Lakes has a couple starters back and should contend, St. Francis has an excellent program and Svihel should be ready to go, plus Rogers lost some agile scorers but the talent is still there as Carik should have a big senior year.
Around .500: Cambridge-Isanti, STMA, Big Lake
These three bring back their top guys which is of course a good thing. All of them should take a step up. That said C-I won 7 games, STMA 8 games, and Big Lake 10 games so what they can improve to is the question.
Rebuilding: North Branch, Buffalo, Princeton
The Vikings of North Branch were winless in the league and are likely to stay in struggles, Princeton won 11 gams last year but most of their talent is gone, and Buffalo. Oh Buffalo, a place that was so good for so long. A new coach so expectations are there but is the talent there? Let’s find out.
