1A Breakdown
When Spring Grove gets Elijah Solum Elijah Solum 6'2" | SG Spring Grove | 2024 State MN back they will be the instant favorite. And if he is playing even near his former self they will be the big favorite. Hayfield and Goodhue are so well respected and they will be good, but how good can they instantly be talent wise after they have lost so much? They won’t fall far I don’t think think but there will be a dip. Kenyon-Wanamingo having two key guys back from a 19 win team is big and Rushford-Peterson has a chance to make a jump as their talent level has increased. Fillmore Central, Lanesboro, and Mabel-Canton are my teams that I think could hit that 20 win mark plus Schaeffer Academy, Southland, Kingsland, and Bethlehem Academy all have a go to guy that could lead them to a great year.
