No. 3-3A Holy Family Catholic at No. 9-3A Delano
7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21

Most observers expected Class 3A to be the playground of three-time defending champion DeLaSalle this winter. And while that may certainly be true, there are a few teams capable of being a threat, including these two Wright County Conference foes. First-year Fire coach Matt Thuli inherited a veteran team that nearly made a run to the state tournament last year. It wouldn't be a shock if a crew that includes seniors Joe Hanel (13.5 ppg), Brent Hentges (12.9 ppg), Colton Stenerson (10.6 ppg) and Joe Conroy and junior post Justin Dahl (13.8 ppg). Delano has a pair of high-scoring veterans in shooting guard Toby Hanson (21.9 ppg) and senior forward Damon Longstreet (15.9 ppg), a potent inside-outside combination.
