St. Paul City Conference Preview

Overview:

The powerhouses stay at the top, the low-lifes stay at the bottom.

Team Previews:

Johnson loses PG Sal Simmons, but they return Darnell Cox and look for Dion Suggs to have a breakout season.

Como Park had a disappointing non-conference season last year, but they return basically everyone. Look for them to make a run at the conference crown.

Central was 1-13 non-conference last year, but 8-6 in the league. They return a load of talent including Larry Brown. They'll push for the conference crown.

Nothing else compelling in the league. Highland Park, Harding and Arlington will be in the middle of the pack. Humboldt is still a doormat.
