Also important to note the 98's not playing varsity, some names that stick out, Bellows, Senden, Wait.

Interested to fire up the discussion, not only on the player's, but the selection process as well, i'm sure there are some opinions out there regarding that as well!

a handful of these listed are 1997 birth years.

90% of these players are not 98's. Most are 97's.

I know that, Im asking who to delete.

Delete them all. Most 98s, including several of the better ones, play bantam.

maybe. you listed players on here from small towns so there is probably some other 98's but none that have stood out during the summer season. there are maybe 40 98's that could have played HS this year but don't live in towns like North Brach or Litchfield or Windom.

The 2 from EGF looked like pretty good players. Not sure if they are 98s though.

nope. 97's.

Gotz from Hibbing is a 98.

This thread started out with a factually terrible post. It is pointless to name 50-100 98's before camps begin and compare point totals from this year. Shattuck, AA varsity top teams, bottom feeder varsity teams, jv squads, and bantams will be represented.

The thread was started in order to compile a list of potential names. No Facts were given. It was a request to hear names that are favorites. IF you read the initial post it asks for help with removing names from the freshmen scoring list of kids that are not 98's.

I dont understand why it was so misunderstood.

Don't sweat it notT. Gators bark is worse than the bite.

First games are this weekend. Anyone been to any practices and seen any surprises? Also, does anyone know if any streams are available for the games?
