Playmakers

Brett Pierce—(Holy Angels, defensive lineman)

• Pierce, the anchor of Holy Angels' defensive line, is being courted by Division I schools and is someone Chisago Lakes will have to account for on every play.

T.J. Patrias—(Holy Angels, linebacker)

• Patrias was one of just four underclassmen on last year's all-league team in the Missota.

Stars will win if ...

They can exploit their huge size advantage—four interior linemen and tight end Pierce all weigh 255 or more—on the offensive line.

Wildcats will win if ...

Speedsters Eric Brown (junior) and Josh Parks (sophomore) can find running room behind an inexperienced offensive line.
