The Minnesota Top 25 underwent no seismic changes after Week 1 of high school football. No major upsets or surprises made that necessary.

I have a feeling we’ll see a little more movement after Week 2.

The Minnesota Top 25

1. Maple Grove (1-0)

Previous rank: 1. Last: def. Stillwater 37-17

After the Hornets’ beatdown of Hopkins, I’m tempted to name quad No. 1s this week.

After falling to Prior Lake in each of their past two openers, the Rangers pulled out a victory this time.

The Spartans’ fast and attacking defense could carry them a long way.

15. Centennial (1-0)

A classic Centennial victory: Not a thing of beauty, but I’ll always take the Cougars in a brawl.

16. Mankato East (5A, 1-0)

Previous: 18. Last: def. Owatonna 28-7

Big plays on both sides of the ball and a pair of 100-yard rushers in Blake Kamphoff and Logan Kleist boosted the Cougars.

In this case, class size doesn’t matter. A 34-game winning streak does.
