<p><strong>Summer Summary</strong></p>

<p>Anoka lost a healthy amount of seniors and they surely will have a transition period. Last year they battled their way into the top ten and while this is not likely to be a top ten team, they surely could make a push back to state. With [player_tooltip player_id='2121367' first='Dre' last='Ellis'] ready to lead, young [player_tooltip player_id='2486564' first='Kolden' last='Johnson'] being one of the top freshman in the state, and a few others returning, Anoka will still be a team to beat. </p>

<p>A main competitor will be Blaine. Shiloh Ayotey is their top returning player and he will be one of the best scorers in the section plus there are a few more depth pieces than I was aware of initially. Forest Lake and Duluth East both have the pieces to take a nice step forward and then you have Andover who might have the best competition of talent and returning experience of any team in the section. </p>
