The Metro Preview

<p>The Metro League is usually the most hotly contested conference around with nightly entertaining battles.  Here is our Metro Conference Preview. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Conference Commentary</strong></p> <p>Brandon Valley - Two years ago the Lynx won a state title two years ago, they were a top five squad last year looking for a repeat, and now they have three of their top six back looking for more gold. </p> <p>SF Lincoln - The Patriots were just a few games over .500 last year and lost all their all league players (and all five starters) to graduation.  They will still be in the mix but there are surely spots to fill that will take some time. </p> <p>SF O’Gorman- The Knights took the hardest graduation hit.  There are a few rotation players back and a nice group from the JV but they may need a bit of time before things settle in as a potential contender.</p> <p>SF Roosevelt - The Rough Riders were a top three team in the state last year and they only lost one player from last year’s team.  Expectations are high and Roosevelt will be deep. </p> <p>SF Washington - Only one starter is gone but the reserves from last year are talented and ready to make their mark.  We expect the Warriors to improve on their 13-7 record and be a contender. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Metro Predictions</strong></p> <ol> <li>Roosevelt </li> <li>Washington</li> <li>Brandon Valley</li> <li>O’Gorman</li> <li>Lincoln</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Metro Preseason All Conference</strong></p> <p><em>First Team</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="757825" first="Tyler" last="Feldkamp"] of Roosevelt (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="975499" first="Jackson" last="Hilton"] of Brandon Valley (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="812201" first="Mikele" last="Kambalo"] of Washington (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="757835" first="Michael" last="Paulson"] of Roosevelt  (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="734065" first="Eli" last="Williams"] of Washington (Sr)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Second Team</em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="975511" first="Jay" last="Jurgens"] of Brandon Valley (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="975513" first="Joe" last="Kolbeck"] of Brandon Valley (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="975533" first="Koor" last="Kuol"] of Roosevelt (Sr)</p> <p>Jackson McCormick of Roosevelt (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="975558" first="Kade" last="Moffitt"] of O’Gorman (Sr)</p> <p>Alex Tong of Lincoln (Sr)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Third Team</em></p> <p>Akok Aguer of Washington (Sr)</p> <p>Reece Arbogast of O’Gorman (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="963741" first="Taylen" last="Ashley"] of Roosevelt (Soph)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="812198" first="Caleb" last="Hiatt"] of Lincoln (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="968150" first="Marcus" last="Phillips"] of Roosevelt (Jr)</p>
