Class AAAA
SOUTH: 1. Shakopee 2. Cretin-Derham Hall 3. Rosemount 4. Owatonna
NORTH: 1. Champlin Park 2. Wayzata 3. Duluth East 4. Maple Grove
Champlin Park vs. Maple Grove
Wayzata vs. Duluth East
Shakopee vs. Owatonna
Cretin-Derham Hall vs. Rosemount
***Note – I misread this at first. So there are crossovers for the semi-final round games. For example if the high seeds win, it would be Champlin Park vs CDH, and Wayzata versus Shakopee. So looking at these seeds, I think CDH should of been above Shakopee but that was pretty close. Looks pretty fair.
Class AAA
SOUTH: 1. Minnehaha Academy 2. Mankato West 3. Richfield 4. Byron
NORTH: 1. Alexandria 2. DeLaSalle 3. Hibbing 4. Monticello
Alexandria vs. Monticello
De La Salle vs.Hibbing
Minnehaha Academy vs Byron
Mankato West vs. Richfield
***Note – the favorite in the event is Minnehaha Academy and they clearly got the tougher group. Alexandria got a one seed and while they are playing great basketball (got to watch the second half of them smashing Sauk Rapids and Apollo, they look really good) I would have given them a three seed in the North and would have to go back and forth if they would get the 5 seed in a normal year (Byron would be the other in that discussion). Richfield would have been my 2nd or 3rd seed overall in a normal year and they are the three seed in the South.
Class AA
Class A
SOUTH 1. Legacy Christian 2. Central MN Christian 3. Sleepy Eye St Mary’s 4. Hayfield
NORTH 1. Nevis 2. Deer River 3. Badger/Greenbush-Middle River 4. Hancock
Nevis vs Hancock
Deer River vs. Badger/Greenbush-Middle River
Central Minnesota Christian vs. Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s
Legacy Christian Academy vs. Hayfield
****Note: Class A has been wide open all year, as wide open as any division in Minnesota high school basketball since I’ve started watching it as a reporter. No problems at all with any of this. Surely separated the state on area and the match-ups are solid.
