EDC: Preseason All-Conference Team

<p>Earlier this week we put out an article on the WDA and the Preseason All-Conference Team. Today we will head East across North Dakota and look at the EDC. </p> <h2><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EDC PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE</span> </strong></h2> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Player of The Year</strong></span></h3> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812219" first="Carson" last="Hegerle"] (2022) |6-3 SG| West Fargo</strong></p> <p>Many times a senior wins this type of award and we have a great athlete for this one. He recently committed to play football at NDSU after high school. Hegerle is a spectacular athlete that willed the Packers to a State Championship in 2021. Carson might be the scariest matchup in Class-A. He is explosive, strong, and always on the brink of a highlight play. No one should think that the Packers will lower their expectations this season. </p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>First-Team All-EDC</strong></span></h3> <p><a
