That right there makes a team a gigantic favorite to repeat. But will it be a run through? Considering that the Tigers beat Byron by only two scores and Winona by three scores in section play last year, I would say there will be no such thing as a run through. Especially considering that Byron gets [player_tooltip player_id='1575327' first='Max' last='Dearborn'] back this season and he might just be the best prospect in this section. Northfield will be tough, Kasson-Mantorville will be better, [player_tooltip player_id='2364156' first='Jackson' last='Harvey'] of Winona is a constant worker, and then you have Austin. Who knows what Austin will be like as they played seniors almost entirely a season ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
