Games to Watch: The opening game of the season April 20 against St. Paul North will be a good indicator for this young team and will be a game to watch. The first big game of the season will be April 25 against conference favorite and rival St. Cloud North.
Season Outlook: With the loss of a very good senior class, the Warriors will be looking to grow their prospects for the next few years. The coaching staff will be working hard to get them ready for the early season. Coach Brown points out, "We have 3 players who have been playing since 8th grade who are just now sophomores, and a few 8th graders on this years team who are already showing great progress." Brown believes the team will grow as the season progresses and he continues, "We hope to compete for a spot in the playoffs for the 3rd consecutive year."
