09-10 Section 2AAAA Preview

This is the 19th preview in my season preview series. In this edition I start my look at the big boys in AAAA. We start with section 2. If you missed any of the previews, you can find links to all of them on the Section & Conference Previews page.

Defending Champion: Bloomington Jefferson

Predicted Seeding:

1. Chaska
   
2. Eden Prairie
   
3. Shakopee
   
4. Bloomington Jefferson
   
5. Edina
   
6. Bloomington Kennedy
   
7. Prior Lake
   

Section Winner: Chaska. Despite all the success that Eden Prairie has in football, they just can't seem to get to state in basketball. Last year, Jefferson pulled the upset in the section final. Eden Prairie will be right there though. Shakopee and Jefferson will be very tough outs which should make for interesting semifinals according to the seedings. Jefferson is always well prepared and against a junior laden Chaska team, I can see that upset. Shakopee vs Eden Prairie will be a defensive struggle. The winner of the section will definitely earn it via 2 tough games.
