![Hutchinson team raised their trophy in the air after winning against Holy Angels 49-7 for the 4A State Championship at the Mall of America Field in Minneapolis, Min., Friday, November 29, 2013. ] (KYNDELL HARKNESS/STAR TRIBUNE) kyndell.harkness@startribune.com ORG XMIT: MIN1311291848161672](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/MSHT6LJZ3YT2ZBROQJBNYM54FE.jpg?&w=1080)
1Postseason punch: Hutchinson's pursuit of a third consecutive Class 4A championship deserves the headlines, but several Wright County Conference teams figure to be in a title hunt. Delano's state tournament run ended at Hutchinson's hands. In Class 3A, Glencoe-Silver Lake (quarterfinals) and New London-Spicer (title game) were each knocked out by champion St. Croix Lutheran.
2Victory lap: Four-year starters are a special breed in high school football. Glencoe-Silver Lake quarterback Keaton Anderson joins the elite club this fall. With Anderson at the controls, the Panthers averaged 36.8 points per game last season. Longevity under center runs in the family. Older brother Kyler started three consecutive seasons as the Panthers' quarterback.
3 Milestone ahead: Orono coach Jeff Weiland begins the season with 99 career victories (77 with the Spartans, 22 at Watertown-Mayer). The century mark could require patience. The Spartans start their season playing at Glencoe-Silver Lake and at home against Annandale. Opposing coaches rated both among the top teams in the Wright County West Division.
