With a three game advantage the Wayzata Trojans won the Lake Conference last season. This year? The Trojans might be an even bigger favorite this season. Here is the Lake Preview!

Conference Commentary

Top Ten in State: Wayzata, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie

The Trojans finished second in state last season and they are returning a pair of starters, Wayzata has their best reserves back including a high major talent, and they will be the biggest and most talented team. Tonka will be able to match experience and talent with the Trojans, they just won’t be as big. Wayzata beat them twice by double figures last season, if Tonka is to take the step they hope to a win over Wayzata would be huge. Then there is EP. The Eagles have been the section winner four of the last five seasons and their combo of senior and sophomore talent should make them a Lake contender again.

Top Ten in State Potential: Hopkins

The Royals will look young, they will look different, and they will look the way Coach wants them to this year when it comes to the group they put on the floor. Jayden Moore Jayden Moore 6'0" | PG Hopkins | 2026 State MN and Anthony Smith are a young but talented backcourt plus there are some seniors that people don’t know of ready for their turn.

Compete with Most: Buffalo

I don’t think that Buffalo will slip as far off that 16 win total as many think. And it would be hard to fall too much further from that 2-10 record in league play.

Rebuilding: Edina, STMA

The Hornets lost their seniors, they lost their coach, and they lost their point guard to a transfer. All of that leads to a complete start over for Edina. As for STMA, this is a rebuild because it’s a coach change and STMA has an excellent group of sophomores that signal for a different type of line-up.
