This is the 15th preview in my 2017-2018 season preview series. In this preview, a look at section 4AA. For a list of all the season previews and how they are generated, click here.
Section 4AA (16 teams)
Defending Champion: Minnehaha Academy (2017 State AA Champion)
Tournament Schedule:
Round of 16: Thursday, March 8th
Quarterfinals: Saturday, March 10th
Semifinals: Tuesday, March 13th at St. Paul Washington
Finals: Friday, March 16th at St. Paul Washington
New teams in the section
Sleeper: St. Paul Washington. They'll play a schedule that preps them for section play (Trinity tourney will be telling for them and the section). Add in soph forward Drewjuan White as an athlete and maybe they steal a game or 2.
Section Winner: Minnehaha. With everybody back and the top player in the section in Jalen Suggs returning for the defending state champs, no way I can bet against that.
