They have players coming up from the JV that are very good, they have a guy that sat out last year that is very good (Emmanuel), they have young talent ready to star (Frelix), they have new transfers (Caldwell and Keita), and they have a returning starter (Temi). And..... they will be motivated after being upset at state last year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Champlin Park: Not only does CP have an elite duo in Wagner and Thielke, they have a top young PG (Kwatamah), they have guys like [player_tooltip player_id='1560760' first='Kyler' last='Pust'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2422769' first='Mo' last='Jalloh'], plus up and comers. They are a deep team and they are a contender for all trophies. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maple Grove: I think the Crimson have of the best up and coming talent out there and they should have an excellent winter nearing 20 games and pushing CP and PC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mounds View: The Mustangs are always better than predicted. Say they will fall to ten wins, they win 17 games. Think they will take a step back, they contend for a league title. Always better than expected and they have two double figures scores back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roseville Area. I think it's quite a bit over looked that they have double figure scores back in [player_tooltip player_id='1617767' first='Kellen' last='Little'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1617787' first='Noah' last='George'] from a 15 win team. They will be a tough team to beat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Osseo. Most of their line-up was seniors last year. There are some good guards in [player_tooltip player_id='1874936' first='Willis' last='Crudup'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2126472' first='Owen' last='Counce'] but varsity experience is very limited. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Irondale. Irondale is going to be, and maybe very good. Jake D is one of the most under appreciated guys out there and Crumble has a chance to take a massive step forward. If they are way better than expected don't be surprised.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spring Lake Park. They lost just about everything from a 15 win team. [player_tooltip player_id='2126461' first='Cal' last='Spencer'] and Collin Welch are good players as Spring Lake Park will likely be the best team predicted 8th in their section in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
