Final Thoughts
The North Polars are far and away the most talented team in this section. We listed six names but they have a group of nine or ten that will simply be too tough and deep for the section to likely defeat. Sure there could be an upset, upsets happen. And often when they happen it’s a veteran time, like Blake is. This is the year the Bears have been building to since Robert, Gabe, and Jasper were playing together as freshmen. Litchfield will be tough, others have talent, but Blake is a top ten squad and Minneapolis North is both a leading Class AA title contender AND one of the five most talented teams in Minnesota regardless of class.
