Section 2AAAA Rundown
Eastview has a new head coach with Danny Olsen replacing Coach Paul Goetz. Only so much will change as Olsen has been with Eastview for many years but Olsen only has one player back from last year’s varsity rotation. That said, Jonathan Mekonnen Jonathan Mekonnen 6'8" | PF Eastview | 2024 State #201 Nation MN is a great one (headed to Colorado State next year). Mekonnen will lead the way along with Kaydn Mestas who has transferred back to Eastview after spending last season in Iowa. There is a chance for others to step up and take Eastview’s spot but Rosemount lost several starters, Eagan has a good senior group but they have many starters to replace, and Jefferson lost Daniel Freitag Daniel Freitag 6'1" | PG Breck | 2024 State #142 Nation MN to a transfer to Breck. The door might be open but we aren’t sure yet if anybody has the talent to step in and move Eastview aside.
