10th Man
Right now this tenth spot, it is up in the air completely. It could go in any direction I would say. Basically every week I am putting a new name out there and this week’s name is….
Colton Benson

New Ulm | 2024
State
MN
of New Ulm. We had Colton in the chatter in the preseason because he scored 30 a game last year for a Class AAA team that was in the top ten area. Benson is scoring 29 a game this year and in the past week had some huge games: 32 points to beat a good Waseca team, 38 points to beat a good Worthington team, and 40 to beat Tri City United. Benson also recently had 47 points in a four point loss to Delano!
Did we just find out 10th man? New Ulm is 13-6 and working to crack that Class AAA top ten.
