Team Preview: Male

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Male has been to the state tournament two straight seasons. Last season they made it to the quarterfinals before losing by four. The Bulldogs were 26-11 and will continue to battle in the seventh region for their third straight region championship. They will look to replace their leading scorer, but have one of the best young talents in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1359140"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1359140' first='Cole' last='Edelen'] made his impact known for Male last season as a freshman.
