Fall preview
Be sure to check out our Fall Sports preview in paper editions Aug. 30 or online soon after that (sometime Friday). We’ve included pieces about the football and volleyball teams we cover in a separate edition to the typical sports section where the remainder of the previews will be.
It’s hard to believe that many of our fall teams have begun play. Everyone’s season has started by now, except for football, which is always the last to start. My pick for Lake Conference football champion might be going out on a limb, but Burnsville has a great chance with many experienced players coming back from last season’s 1-8 mark. To do that they’ll have to overtake perennial power Eden Prairie (the defending Class AAAAA state champs). Andy, the other Sports Editor in our Burnsville office says Apple Valley gets his vote for the conference title.
