The Camden Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dawson-Boyd is back to defend their league championship while also thinking about greater things. We look into DB and the rest of the Camden Conference today!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Conference Commentary</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Ten</strong>: Dawson-Boyd</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dawson-Boyd has the size and All State caliber player in [player_tooltip player_id='1411178' first='Brayson' last='Boike'], They are the favorite going in to the year but keep in mind, they lost four seniors that were a key part of their rotation. They will be favored over a team like CMC but CMC has a lot back although they don't have a [player_tooltip player_id='1411178' first='Brayson' last='Boike']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Ten Potential</strong>: Central Minnesota Christian, MACCRAY</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CMC has four starters back from an 18 win team and are ready for a title run in the Camden. And maybe a top ten spot in state. MACCRAY was 13-14 last season but with all of their top guys back they have a chance to push to 6-7 more wins and be a contender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Compete with Most</strong>: Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunberg, LQPV, TMB, Minneota</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KMS has Holloway back to get triple doubles and Jared Cortez to handle guard duties. They will not be in the same area as CMC in their respective class (KMS is a Class AA school now) but KMS will have the same shot to win the conference with who they have returning. LQPV should took that nine win mark and nearly double it as all their top guys are back. [player_tooltip player_id='2104478' first='Trevor' last='Smith'] should have TMB making a big step forward from an 8-win year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rebuilding</strong>: Ortonville, Renville County West, Lakeview, Canby, Yellow Medicine East</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ortonville won one game last year and none in the league so its a rebuild. RCW has some talent back so they should take a step from last year's four wins. Lakeview lost a star in Nathan Fenske plus they lost a senior dominated group so they are in a reset. Canby was a .500 club last year but they lost their all league seniors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>23-24 Conference Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Power Rankings</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Dawson-Boyd</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Central Minnesota Christian </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>MACCRAY </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>LQPV</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>TMB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Minneota</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Canby</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lakeview</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Renville County West</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Yellow Medicine East</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ortonville</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>North</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>TMB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Minneota</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Canby</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lakeview</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Renville County West</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Yellow Medicine East</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>South</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Dawson-Boyd</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Central Minnesota Christian </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>MACCRAY </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>LQPV</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ortonville</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason All Camden</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>First Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1411178' first='Brayson' last='Boike'] of Dawson-Boyd (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Deandre Holloway of KMS (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2104478' first='Trevor' last='Smith'] of TMB (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1845254' first='Isaac' last='Post'] of MACCRAY (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryan Harrington of Central Minnesota Christian (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Second Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1874834' first='Drew' last='Hjelmeland'] of Dawson-Boyd (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jared Cortez of KMS (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maxwell Rost of Minneota (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2104538' first='Drew' last='Duininck'] of Central Minnesota Christian (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2822474' first='Matthew' last='Arndt'] of LQPV (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Third Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2120512' first='Micah' last='Asake'] o fCentral Minnesota Christian (soph)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elias Hegland of LQPV (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Matt Wadsworth of MACCRAY (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2620244' first='Ryan' last='Schrupp'] of Renville County West (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2398542' first='Jordan' last='Warne'] of MACCRAY (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
