The Class A Power Rankings: Take Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We run you through all the Class A teams in terms of the power rankings. Its team one through team 162!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before we get there let's make some things clear on why we make some of these choices:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Pelican Rapids brings back their key pieces from a team that made the Class AA State Tournament. With size, depth and experience that will be a year better that made the AA State tournament, we sure think they can do damage in Class A</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Cherry has been in the state title game the last few years and we think it happens again. They have two of the top six or seven best players in Class A with [player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1601068' first='Noah' last='Asuma'], but they have a lot spots to fill after that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Hills-Beaver Creek was 26-3 last year and have all of their top guys back. As we explained earlier in the week, Dawson-Boyd surely has a chance to repeat but HBC has so much back while DB lost two players to the NSIC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Red Lake County went to state last year and their top guy [player_tooltip player_id='1628768' first='Connor' last='Duden'] just committed to Bemidji State. They have a great shot to get back to state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Nevis has a young group on the come up with some seniors and if the mix is there - which we have learned it could be - they could get back to state yet again. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Southland, Deer River, Henning, these are teams that we found to be a bit better than expected, and then there are some teams that don't have quite the experience returning we thought. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Pelican Rapids</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Cherry</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hills-Beaver Creek</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Red Lake County </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>JWP</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Dawson-Boyd</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Braham</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Fertile-Beltrami</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Park Christian</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Nevis</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>East Central</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Henning</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Springfield</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Central Minnesota Christian</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Liberty Classical</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Southland</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Deer River</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>West Central Area</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kittson County Central</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Madelia</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hillcrest Lutheran</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Barnum</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Benson</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Russell-Tyler-Ruthton</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ada-Borup</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Westbrook-Walnut Grove</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Stephen-Argyle</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lewiston-Altura</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>South Ridge</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Warren-Alvarado-Oslo</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Renville County West</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Cromwell-Wright</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Browerville</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kenyon-Wanamingo</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ely</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Wabasso</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>BOLD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Border West</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Cedar Mountain</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Upsala</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mt.
