By no means are we saying that they are going to be down, they are still a top ten team. Caledonia is just going to be much younger and much smaller. PEM and Lake City are bigger teams with a lot more experience and we think they are the favorites heading into this winter. The Bulldogs were our preseason number one until the talented and huge Holy Family team added [player_tooltip player_id='1287442' first='Kole' last='Hanson'] - one of the top juniors in the state - to their roster. Lake City brings back more than PEM, but PEM has Peters and Stevens which is an elite pair (plus they have others back too). PEM is ranked second in the state to start the year, Lake City 4th, and Caledonia 9th. But watch out for Chatfield. They won 17 games last year and have all four of their all league honored players returning. La Crescent-Hokah also won 17 games last year and they have their best players back as well. And keep an eye on Lourdes trying to jump into that top group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
