2021-2022 Big Rivers Predictions

Overview:

Eau Claire Memorial has by far the most overall talent in the league this year, and should be the favorites to win the Big Rivers. Seniors LJ Wells (14.2 PPG), Mehki Shaw (ACL injury), and Will Boser (20.7 PPG) along with a solid junior class will make for tough matchups for every other team. Hudson, Menomonie, New Richmond, and Rice Lake all seem to be the next tier of teams. All of them have one player that will be a standout throughout the season (Hudson - Andre Renta (13.1 PPG), Menomonie - Noah Fedderson (13.0 PPG), New Richmond - CJ Campbell (25.3 PPG), and Rice Lake - Tyler Orr (16.4 PPG)). If anyone else steps up on either of these teams, they could potentially push Eau Claire Memorial for the title. Eau Claire North is kind of in their own tier, where they have solid players but no real standouts. River Falls and Chippewa Falls both lost so much talent after graduating loaded senior classes in 2021. There is not much experience returning on either of them, so I imagine them struggling a little this season.

Projections:

1. Eau Claire Memorial Old Abes (2020-2021 season: 13-9 overall, 6-6 conference, 3rd)
2. New Richmond Tigers (2020-2021 season: 10-9 overall, 10-4 conference, 2nd - Middle Border)

3. Menomonie Mustangs (2020-2021 season: 11-12 overall, 5-7 conference, 6th)

4. Hudson Raiders (2020-2021 season: 15-6 overall, 8-4 conference, 2nd)

5. Rice Lake Warriors (2020-2021 season: 10-13 overall, 2-10 conference, 7th)

6. Eau Claire North Huskies (2020-2021 season: 14-8 overall, 5-7 conference, 5th)

7. River Falls Wildcats (2020-2021 season: 21-3 overall, 10-2 conference, 1st)

8. Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2020-2021 season: 13-10 overall, 6-6 conference, 3rd)

2021-2022 Heart O' North Predictions

Overview:

Northwestern returns enough from last season that I would be shocked if they didn't win the Heart O' North. John Grohn (9.5 PPG), Cole Lahti (8.8 PPG), Monte Mayberry (13.3 PPG), and CJ Thompson (11.4 PPG) are all skilled players that are ready to push for a deep run in the playoffs. Ladysmith has a junior class (Brady Ingersoll, Mitchell Lehman, and Eli Rogers) that is talented enough to compete with Northwestern, I'm just not sure if they have the size to get them over the top. Ingersoll (21.5 PPG) is the top returning scorer from last season in the conference. Saint Croix Falls should be very competitive to round out the top tier of the conference, them and Ladysmith could finish in either order. After these teams, I think the rest of the conference levels off. Ashland, Barron, Cumberland, and Spooner all have solid pieces returning but I don't foresee that being enough to win the conference. Cameron, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser, and Hayward are looking to be the bottom tier of the conference. Cameron graduated a huge season class and lost the majority of their scoring, so unless some younger players step up it may be a tough season for them.

Projections:

1. Northwestern Tigers (2020-2021 season: 19-8 overall, 13-3 conference, 2nd)

2. Ladysmith Lumberjacks (2020-2021 season: 14-8 overall, 5-7 conference, 5th)

3. Saint Croix Falls Saints (2020-2021 season: 15-8 overall, 11-6 conference, 4th)

4. Spooner Rails (2020-2021 season: 6-8 overall, 6-6 conference, 7th)

5. Barron Golden Bears (2020-2021 season: 9-11 overall, 9-9 conference, 5th)

6. Cumberland Beavers (2020-2021 season: 11-8 overall, 11-6 conference, 3rd)

7. Ashland Oredockers(2020-2021 season: 7-8 overall, 6-7 conference, 5th - Lake Superior)
8. Cameron Comets (2020-2021 season: 20-2 overall, 15-0 conference, 1st)

9. Hayward Hurricanes (2020-2021 season: 2-19 overall, 2-16 conference, 9th)

10. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Bulldogs (2020-2021 season: 0-19 overall, 0-18 conference, 10th)

2021-2022 Indianhead Predictions

Overview:

Hurley appears to be the overwhelming favorite to win the Indianhead this year, they are riding a 21-game conference winning streak over the last two seasons. The Northstars return five all-conference selections from last season, more than any other team in the conference. Eli Talsma (17.9 PPG) and Dominic Croci (11.3 PPG) are going to be one of the toughest backcourts in the Northwoods this season. The only other team that I truly see pushing them for the championship is South Shore. Koy Nelson is one of the most exciting players to watch and led the conference in scoring as a junior (25.1 PPG). The rest of the Indianhead has some talent, but I don't think there is enough experience to beat either of those top two teams. Bayfield, Drummond, Mellen, and Solon Springs should all be competitive, but the have a lot of young talent and I don't think they are quite there to top Hurley or South Shore. Butternut, Lac Courte Oreilles, Mercer, and Washburn are expected to battle it out at the bottom of the conference. Maybe those teams will steal a game here and there, but not super competitive.

Projections:

1. Hurley Northstars (2020-2021 season: 23-3 overall, 9-0 conference, 1st)

2. South Shore Cardinals (2020-2021 season: 16-8 overall, 7-2 conference, 2nd)
3. Drummond LumberJacks (2020-2021 season: 12-6 overall, 6-2 conference, 3rd)

4. Solon Springs Eagles (2020-2021 season: 6-9 overall, 3-4 conference, 6th)

5. Mellen Granite Diggers (2020-2021 season: 8-7 overall, 3-3 conference, 5th)

6. Bayfield Trollers (2020-2021 season: 5-7 overall, 5-4 conference, 4th)

7. Butternut Midgets (2020-2021 season: 5-15 overall, 3-6 conference, 7th)

8. Washburn Castle Guards (2020-2021 season: 3-8 overall, 1-6 conference, 8th)

9. Mercer Tigers (2020-2021 season: 6-15 overall, 1-7 conference, 9th)

10. Lac Courte Oreilles Eagles (2020-2021 season: 3-11 overall, 0-0 conference, N/A)

***Ironwood has left the Indianhead Conference and has joined the Michigan based Copper Mountain Conference as of 2021-2022***

***Lac Courte Oreilles will join the Indianhead Conference effective in the fall of 2021-2022. They were an independent school before joining***
