Team Breakdown
TOP PLAYERS
Name - Gr - Ht - P - Pts - Reb

TEAM SUMMARY
Burnsville will be minus Tarell Clark but they will still be able to run their all out Blazing offense behind talented offensive creator Knopke. The 6-foot-3 junior is a smooth player with the ability to create for both himself and his teammates.
Ghizoni is looking to have a breakout year himself and seniors Wheeler and Rogers provide experience, stability, and two more regulars from last year's deep line-up.
Co-coach Bob Schweim expects the Blaze to play an up-tempo game with a good mix of shooters, drivers and defenders.
Coach's comment: "This year's seniors have only lost 10 games in the last two years and we have a ton of returning experience, this should be a solid team. It has to make up for the individual loss of Tarell Clark."
Did you know? Schweim listed Eastview as his school's biggest rival and Eden Prairie as the toughest road gym. Jefferson's Cole Aldrich (2007) is the best player he's coached against.
Ryan Amoroso (2004) is the school's leading career scorer and rebounder, while Clark (2008) graduated as the top player in career assists.
