<p><strong>Final Thoughts.</strong> How good is Perham and Fergus Falls? Pelican Rapids has a senior class full of all league players returning, and they are still a fairly distant third coming into the season in comparison. That said, the Yellowjackets and Otters have a lot of holes to fill around the best two players on their teams. Diggins and Morris, Aguilar and Fazio, these are scholarship college athletes.
