Section 4AAA Rundown
This is a tale of the obvious and the not so obvious. I’ll bet you are very aware that Totino-Grace is the defending champs, the preseason number one, and that they have some of the top scholarship talent in the state. I’ll bet you aren’t as aware that Mahtomedi is ranked 4th in Class AAA coming into the season and that they have their top six players back from last season (all seniors) plus they get back their best player Will Underwood Will Underwood 6'0" | PG Mahtomedi | 2023 State MN from injury. You can likely name all of the TG prospects throughout their four classes of players. But I’ll be you don’t know that the Zephyrs will match-up against the Eagles with a line-up full of talented seniors, four of which have averaged in double digits. Also, Columbia Heights was hit hardest by graduation when it comes to the contenders, but they have a really nice junior class of guards. The Hylanders will match that nice group of junior guards with some inexperienced size that does have potential. Columbia Heights played pretty well at the Breakdown Summer State Tournament. Our sleeper? Always Fridley. The guard combo of Marcus Brunell and Antwan Smith Antwan Smith 5'11" | PG Fridley | 2024 State MN is good and don’t forget about St. Paul Johnson. The Govs were also hit by graduation pretty hard but there’s some talent left over.
