The Battle Lake boys’ basketball team lost three starters from their team of a year ago and will have to find players to fill the vacancies created by the graduation of Nick VanErp, Eli Carlson and Brady Scholten.

Seniors Riley Leabo (Guard) and Brennan Amundson (Guard/Forward) are returning starters for the Battlers and junior Brady VanErp will be counted on to step into a key varsity role.

“We have a lot of opportunities this year,” said second year Head Coach C.J. Peeters.  “It’s the second year within our system so we should see some impact from the work we put in last year.  We have a lot of guys that haven’t had much experience that will need to step into some major roles.  It should be a really fun year with a great group of kids.”

Peeters will be assisted by Mike Scholten.

According to Coach Peeters, Parkers Prairie is the team to beat in the Little Eight Conference and in Section 6A the favorites will be Henning, Parkers Prairie and West Central Area.
