This is the 19th preview in my 2014-2015 season preview series.  In this preview, I start a look at the class AAAA sections in the metro.  I'll start with a look at section 2AAAA.  For a list of all the season previews and how they are generated, click here.

Defending Champion: Shakopee (State 3rd Place)

Predicted Seeding

1. Shakopee
2. Chanhassen 
3. Prior Lake
4. Chaska
5. Lakeville South
6. Bloomington Jefferson 
7. Bloomington Kennedy
8. Burnsville

Shakopee looks to make another state run behind star forward Steffon Mitchell.  This is the year that Chanhassen has been building for over the last few years.  Chaska and Prior Lake will battle for 3 and 4 and will be a handful to knock out.  Jefferson and Lakeville South battle for 5th.  Burnsville will try to jump over a down Kennedy squad for 7th.

Sleeper: Chaska.   Jacob Hansen is a solid point guard and scorer.  Soph Myles Hanson is a wing who's only going to get better as the year goes on.  They have the tradition and coaching experience on the bench to get there.

Section Winner: Shakopee.  In a grind it out, defensive-minded group of teams at the top, Shakopee stands out as the one who does it as well as anybody.
