Maple River head coach Chad Ostermann (119-44) begins his 7th season in a few weeks. He & assistant coaches Eric Ward, Jeff Cole, & Dusty Drager will work to improve on last year’s 11-15 record. That was just the 2nd time in school history the Eagles were below .500
Jonah Breiter returns are the second leading scorer in the Gopher Conference last season. He put up nice 19ppg/8reb averages in 2013-14. SR Jay Sohre & JR Will Keller are starters from last season who will also be back. Andrew Albrecht & Grant Sonnek are kids who were contributors last year that’ll have more expected from them this year.
The Maple River Hardwood Classic is always an event the squad and coaches look forward to. You always have to circle the conference games vs United South Central. USC, NHREG, & WEM all sport very good teams that will be teams to battle with for Gopher Conference titles opportunities.
Section 2AA is strong with NHREG, WEM, & Waseca. The Bluejays are the likely early favorite, but any team can be hot in March and go on a run. This Maple River team is included on that list.
Maple River hoops is not a program that likes to be in the lower half of anything. This team is well coached and the kids are pretty good at buying into what the coaches are working to get them to do. Should that process hold, this group will be potentially a team you might now want to play in March.
