Winneconne looks to be the mid-season favorite to win their 3rd straight ECC title but Pymouth also is undefeated in the conference and looks to end it at 2. Keep an eye out for the freshman that will help to elevate their teams in the final standings as well.
The facts (as I know them)-
Berlin returns 3 members from their conference team last year but also regained Cade Martin after a year off. Cade was a conference runner up in 2019 as a freshman.
Campbellsport returns 6 conference team members from last year highlighted by 2X state qualifier Drake Muellenbach.
Kewaskum returns 5 of their conference team members from a year ago. They are led by 2 conference champions (Scoles, Muckerheide). Scoles is also the returning D2 145 State Champion last season winning one of the most exciting matches of the entire tournament.
Plymouth returns 7 conference team members highlighted by 2X conference champion and 2X state qualifier Devin Gore looking to claim his 3rd.
Ripon returns only 2 of their conference team members from last season in LeeRoy Cotton and Alex Button. Cotton is a 2X conference runner up looking to claim his 1st title this season.
Waupun returns 6 of their starters with 3 conference runner-ups (DeGroff, Glewen, Roecker) from last years team and state qualifier Easton Hull.
Winneconne returns 9 conference team starters with 3 conference champions (A. Hart, Meunier, Krings) and 3 conference runner-ups (Kleinschmidt, Schnell, Miller) from last year's squad as well as Mason Sternard who was a 2019 conference runner-up. Kleinschmidt is a returning state qualifier and Meunier is the returning D2 113 State Champion.
