2013-14 Section 3AAA Preview

This is the 15th preview in my 2013-2014 season preview series.  In this preview, we begin to look at the large school sections in the metro.  We'll begin with section 3AAA.  For a list of all the season previews and how they are generated, click here.

Defending Champion: De La Salle (2 time defending state champion)

Predicted Seeding

1. De La Salle
2. Totino-Grace 
3. Spring Lake Park
4. Minneapolis Patrick Henry 
5. Columbia Heights 
6. Fridley 
7. St. Anthony
8. St. Paul Como Park

Can't imagine why I'd put De La Salle as the top pick here.  With my picks, I still like Totino-Grace at 2.  I'm going to go with instinct but against my conference picks and move Columbia Heights down.  Lots could happen in the middle with Fridley, Henry, Columbia Heights and Spring Lake Park.  Spring Lake Park gets my nod for consistency.  Fridley at Henry on Jan 20th could loom very large for seeding purposes.  St. Anthony and Como Park are the bottom 2.

Sleeper: Fridley.   Lots of guys back and Stevie Hjelmberg gives them a goto guy.

Section Winner: De La Salle.  Is there anything else to say here?
