The 8AA Profile

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There has been a lot of change in 8AA meaning things could look different come March.

Barnesville knocked out Perham last season in the sections plus return key pieces, EGF returns three all league players, and Wadena-Deer Creek has been building for this season since they saw these upperclassmen as little kids. Sure Perham, Thief River Falls and DGF are good programs that can't be counted out but they have some spots to rebuild. Hawley will remain solid as well Pelican Rapids who could have a special year if Guler has recovered to near 100 percent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
