Waconia at Minneapolis Patrick Henry
7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 3

No section in Class 3A may be more stacked than Section 6, where six ranked teams reside. While the competition will make winning the title tough, it also means there is no clear-cut favorite to come out of the section.

Wednesday's matchup between No. 6-3A Waconia and No. 9-3A Minneapolis Patrick Henry should be a good preview of what's in store for the for Section 6 tournament.

Both teams boast plenty of talent and can use a win over a ranked opponent to improve their seeding for the postseason. 

The Wildcats (15-5, 4-2) have relied on the senior backcourt of Joey Kortuem (19.4 ppg) and Josh Rands (15.1 ppg).

The Patriots (16-5, 8-2) possess a lineup with four players averaging double figures in scoring, led by senior forward Julian Jackson (20.4 ppg).
