Some big changes for post-season sections

Here's the new group of teams in Section 5A. These changes are huge in some cases.

For wrestling, the Jaguars are getting a pretty raw deal. We lose Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City, Kimball, Eden Valley-Watkins and Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted who are replaced by powerful programs: Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Browerville, Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg and New London-Spicer. Also in is Ortonville, Holdingford and Royalton-Upsala. Ortonville was in Section 3A, while the latter two were in Section 7A. No matter how we cut it, our Jaguars wrestling team will have to continue improving, getting deeper and getting stronger. The section is going from having eight teams to having 11.

Another big, big change is in baseball. The Jaguars are moved to Section 6A in baseball for the first time since the late 1990s. I will post more information on this later today. Lots of irons in the fire now!

2015-2016 Section 5A wrestling(11 teams!):
B-B-E, Benson, Holdingford, Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, Minnewaska Area, Ortonville, Osakis, Paynesville Area, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Browerville, New London-Spicer, Royalton/Upsala.
