EVW has the edge in experience because of their state run and because most of their talent is seniors. Redwood Valley and Morris Area are good but also junior dominated. That does not mean they can't make the state run, EVW made that run last year with a junior dominated team. Jackson County Central, Paynesville Area, and Pipestone will also be good as well although not quite as deep as the previously mentioned three. Rysley Borman of Pipestone Area might be the best player you don't know and the headliners in this league might be able to hold their own with the top five of just about any section outside of 5AA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
