Class A is always the toughest to seed simply because they are spread out more throughout the state and it's harder to find common opponents than with the other classes (it has the most teams!).
There are some common opponents to discuss.
Blooming Prairie played both Southland and JWP. They lost to Southland by 34 and they lost to JWP by 38. And keep in mind that the Blossoms won 18 games this year!
Fertile-Beltrami (who has been a top ten team) played both Cherry and Red Lake County and beat both. They beat RLC by 18 and they beat Cherry by 26.
Rushford-Peterson beat Southland by nine (80-71) and they beat Liberty by 36 points (95-59).
