Tournament preview

Shakopee has won the section tournament the past two years as the No. 1 seed, meeting No. 2 seed Waconia in the final both times. The Sabers were the Class 3A state runners-up last season and look poised to return to St. Paul. They’ve held the No. 3 spot in the Guillotine’s Minnesota Class 3A wrestling rankings all season, behind defending champion St. Michael-Albertville and Stillwater, which finished third at state last year after falling to Shakopee 27-26 in the semifinals.
