Some observers may say that Chaska is rebuilding, making a matchup with star-studded Prior Lake a mismatch on paper.
But after the Lakers suffered a gut-wrenching five-set loss to Champlin Park in the Side Out Classic on Aug. 29, could the Hawks steal a win from a potentially emotionally drained Prior Lake team?
Chaska may have graduated a highly productive class that produced a Class 3A state championship, but with longtime coach Sue Murphy (444 career wins) still at the helm, don’t expect the Hawks to lose much of their edge.
These teams met in last season’s Class 3A, Section 2 championship, and the rematch has Chaska traveling to Prior Lake in our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
