The 2AA Rundown
This group really feels like a three horse race, a couple maybes, and then a lot of teams that either don’t have much back, or guys coming back but limited in terms of what the talent can do. GSL has two of their best three players back in Eli and Sawyer. They went to state last year but without Mitchel Jaskowiak they will look different. Maple River has the perfect combo of experience, an all state lead guard, size, and talent which is why they are our pick. LCWM will also be very good with Wells leading backed by a nice junior class. Could NYA join the group? Maybe but they were under .500 last year so that is a lot of ground to make up. And I think NHREG will be solid but they have too many spots to fill to start talking about them in the same area as some of the others.
