Division Three Preseason

For the last few years division three has been the deepest division year in and year out and this year should be no different. Traditionally a division that is dominated by the privates, the public schools seem to be gaining some grown, even though a year ago two private teams met in the championship game. Here are my preseason rankings

1. Lacrosse Aquinas- State champs a year ago bring back the top player in the division and maybe state in 6'3 junior Bronson Koenig, who could of gone anywhere he wanted in the country for college but, choose Wisconsin as his college. Expect a big year from 6'4 senior Quinn McCartney who can jump out of the gym.
2. East Troy- 22 win team a year ago bring back all five starters and have tremendous size with 6'9 junior twins Brett and Alex Prahl and 6'7 senior Tanner Plomb all starting.
3. GET- Only lost two games last year and return three starters including their top scorer in 6'4 senior Riley Bambenek.
4. Racine St. Catherines- State runner ups a year ago return their top player in UW Green Bay recruit 6'5 senior Jordan Fouse.
5. Brillion- Team that always finds themselves towards the top of the rankings and bring back 5'8 junior Eric Kittel their top scorer last year and 5'10 senior Trevor Krizenesky who started his sophomore year but, missed most of last year with an injury.
6. Wisconsin Dells- Won their conference a year ago and won 20 games and bring back every single player from that team.
7. Little Chute- Were a final four team a year ago and bring back 6'5 junior Turner Botz who is starting to get some D1 looks.
8. Lodi- Won 19 games last year and bring back four starters that all averaged double digits in points a year ago. 6'3 sophomore Jordan Shea will be a star and then 6'5 senior Danny Padley, 5'11 junior Kris Seffrood,  and 6'6 junior Jacob Haag, future is very bright for a team that has struggled for years.
9. Prairie du Chien- Conference champs a year ago bring back sharpshooter 6'0 senior Connor Morovits and 6'3 senior Colin Roach, who should really improve now that he will be a starter.
10. Two Rivers- Should have a strong year behind big time scorer 6'1 junior Brett Linzmeier who averaged 19 points a game last year.
11. Omro- Lost only two games a year ago and have sharpshooter Brandon Tyler back a 6'4 senior who was their leading scorer a year ago.
12. Clinton- Conference champs a year ago and bring back four starters.
13. River Valley- Finished a game behind Prairie du Chien and has a very strong tradition.
14. Roncalli- Lost five starters but, this is Roncalli so you have to rank them here.
15. University School- Don't know a whole lot about them but, the yearbook has them ranked high and their picked to challenge Dominican for a conference title in the Midwest conference so that must mean something.


Well there are my division three rankings. Should be a very exciting year as I should be going to my very first game of the year Tuesday night.
