Obviously works judging from this past season. They'll be fine this season. May not be one of the 2 elite teams in MALA but will definitely have an opportunity to win every game they play.

KM also notches impressive wins over out of conference foes Janesville, Green Bay Metro and Appleton.

That game was ridiculous. Kreinz was the best player we played against all year and he pretty much single-handedly won that game for them. it ended up 17-10 after it was tied going into the fourth quarter.

predictions for bayvalley the weakest conference in the state...

Appleton
Wausau
Bay Port
Notre Dame
Neenah
Metro
De Pere
Southwest
Metrasha
Oneida

But really its all going to be between Appleton and Wausau. however both teams could be real contenders in the state for sure

I agree with you that they'll be fine because with Mala's two divisions they do not play that hard of teams until the playoffs which is where they turned it on last year

I'm doubting that Stoughton will have a team this upcoming spring. After the 08 class graduated, nobody has done any recruiting. Numbers are lower than usual, and coaches still have their thumbs in their bums. From what I've heard, nobody is doing anything. I guess they plan on playing on hopes and dreams.

Sure got the Mighty Ducks, Little Giants and Bad News Bears a long way.

anybody have any information on how teams are looking as far as offseason practices, scrimmages, etc?

With the season drawing closer what are some updates on the teams I hear Verona may be the team to beat in MALA but maybe last years state champs will have say something about that

Relative to their success this past summer, anyone can now notice that the Milwaukee Select kids are at a completely different level skill-wise in all areas of the game. The amount of improvement for all players between last season and now is mind-blowing. That being said, MAYLA will undoubtedly be one of, if not, the most competitive conference next year. For example:

KM: Kreinz and Solano (a one-two punch at midfield that can carry a team with great chemistry. Kreinz will be even better this year, Solano= human clear)

Arrowhead: Meyer (A),Digiacomo(M), Krause(M), Colin Opay(M), Garrett Opay (M), Wolf (D), Boerner (D), Niess(G). (All great two-way players, solid at midfield, solid at D) ( Opays and Digiacomo=great athletes/all around lax players)

MUHS: Dallman (M), Gebhard (A/M), Tjarksen (A), Schultz (A), Sullivan (A), Klemmer (D), Conley (FO) (THE offensive threat for next year, Tjarksen leads by example as a junior, tore it up this summer-look for him to put up big points, same goes for Dallman, Gebhard's senior year after a high-scoring summer with select)

Brookfield: Thiede (D), Hollowell (A) (Hollowell leads the attack for select-so shifty around the crease, will do the same for Brookfield, Thiede is ferocious)

North Shore: Shafer (D), DeGraff (LSM/D), Wilms (D), Braam (M) (DeGraff is a feisty LSM with great long-stick skills, Wilms is a human tank: ground balls, takeaway checks) If North Shore merges with East Side, they will be a definite contender.

Heritage Christian: Goglio (M), Stark (A)

Many of these players are highly touted recruits as well. Milwaukee is on the map.

Quote :

i dunno.
Drake and Logan may be the only offense that have though... and as much as i love the kids, i'm not sure they can run a team.

disagree.

It looks as though MALA is playing every team once, and the teams in their division twice. This means more games overall. Also Middleton plays: Marquette, Arrowhead, Wasau, and Bayport. Bayport is the only away game.
This year is also the very first time that Middleton will play Arrowhead. I can't wait for 03/01/2010!

any "tough" out of state competition?

Verona will be playing Carmel, Westfield, and Heritage Christian. All three teams are located in Indianapolis. Should hopefully be good competition.
