The Prairie Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Browerville-Eagle Valley was the class of the league a season ago winning all their league games and earning a 22-6 record. Are they the favorite once again?</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 in State Potential</strong>: Browerville-Eagle Valley, Osakis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Browerville-Eagle Valley and Osakis are both top 25 teams in their respective classes (Osakis is AA, Browerville-Eagle Valley is A). Both teams could make a push up the charts if the new players step into spots and keep chemistry, and the all league guys take a big step forward. Head to head, Browerville-Eagle Valley beat Osakis twice last year in close games. They get the nod coming into the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Compete with Most</strong>: Upsala, Swanville, LPGE</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Upsale had the roughest record of this group last season but they have maybe the best player out of the trio in [player_tooltip player_id='2449397' first='Jack' last='Primus']. All three clubs look to have lost a couple starters, return 2-3 starters and should be a few games better than last year. All three are very close in our Class A power rankings so naturally everything is similar here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rebuilding</strong>: St. John's Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A three win team from last year, the Johnnies lost all of their league games last season and lost their all conference player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>23-24 Prairie Conference Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Browerville-Eagle Valley</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Osakis</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Upsala</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Swanville</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Long Prairie-Grey Eagle</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>St. John's Prep</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason All Prairie Conference</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>First Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miguel Maloney of Browerville-Eagle Valley (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284168' first='Kyle' last='Mages'] of Osakis (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hans Puck of Browerville-Eagle Valley (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2449397' first='Jack' last='Primus'] of Upsala (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mekai Hoelscheer of Osakis (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Second Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter Moore of Swanwille (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David Liebsch of Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah Boeckermann of Upsala (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2375100' first='Grant' last='Mages'] of Osakis (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brody Kircher of Swanville (soph)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Third Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryan Riedel of Browerville-Eagle Valley (jr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blake Irsfeld of Browerville-Eagle Valley (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon Middendorf of Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284128' first='Drew' last='Imdieke'] of Osakis (sr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
