Class 3A

Once again, there is movement atop the Class 3A coaches' poll.

After one week at No. 2, Eagan moved back into the top spot following a 6-0 week capped with a win against South Suburban Conference rival and previous No. 1 Lakeville North. The Panthers, meanwhile, dropped to No. 2 after a 4-1 week.

Outside of the top two spots, the poll remained mostly the same from last week. Champlin Park held steady at No. 3, while No. 4 Lakeville South and No. 5 Stillwater swapped spots in this week's poll. The Cougars won four of their five matchups this week. Their sole loss was to Eagan.

 

Class 2A

The top four spots in this week's poll remained unchanged. Maple Lake was the unanimous No. 1 selection. The defending Class 2A state champion Irish had seven wins this past week and are a perfect 17-0 this season.

Stewartville stayed at No. 2, while undefeated weeks kept No. 3 Marshall and No. 4 Southwest Christian from moving. North Branch climbed one spot to No. 5.

Rocori made the biggest jump, going from No. 9 to No. 6. The Spartans picked up five wins last week, including impressive ones against No. 10-2A Kasson-Mantorville and No. 10-1A Rush City.

St. Cloud Cathedral continues its climb up the Class 2A poll. After being the only newcomer in the top 10 last week, the No. 9 Crusaders recorded two more wins to improve to 14-1 this season.

 

Class 1A

Mayer Lutheran retained the No. 1 spot in this week's Class 1A poll, but the Crusaders' undefeated record will be tested this week when they host No. 1-2A Maple Lake and visit Minnesota River Conference rival Norwood-Young America, which is receiving votes in this week's Class 2A poll.

Tracy-Milroy-Balaton maintain its place at No. 2, while No. 3 Bethlehem Academy is another Class 1A team that will be challenged this week. The Cardinals visit No. 4-2A Southwest Christian on Tuesday.

Minneota jumped four spots to No. 4 after going 6-1 last week to improve to 13-4. The Vikings notched a win against No. 9-1A Mabel-Canton and lost to Mayer Lutheran. 

Hayfield dropped two spots to No. 5 in the poll.
