This is a pair of 20 win potential teams going head to head to start the season. Browerville was a 20 game winner last year and they return all league players [player_tooltip player_id='962286' first='Parker' last='Duncan'] and Miguel Maloney. They will need them both to slow down top ten Class A squad Henning. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(3)<strong> Glencoe-Silver Lake at Jordan</strong>. GSL was at state last year and they have [player_tooltip player_id='1284132' first='Eli' last='Ehrke'] and Sawyer Kaczmarker are back to lead GSL while Jordan has Afton Koch back to lead the Hubmen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(4) <strong>Milaca at St. Francis</strong>.

They face off against West Central Conference foe Morris Area who has talent coming up but only one guy back with experience. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(7) <strong>Badger/Greenbush-Middle River at Fertile-Beltrami</strong>. Both teams have quality names back (Zach Blawat and [player_tooltip player_id='1284094' first='Caiden' last='Swenby']) and should have 8A contending years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(8) <strong>Chisago Lakes at Irondale.</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1288720' first='Patrick' last='Rowe'] is one of the top prospects playing tomorrow night.
