For three years in a row, Wayzata and Hopkins have put on one of the hottest shows in Minnesota, matching up in the Class 4A, Section 6 boys basketball championship. That could stretch to four years running, with the Trojans ranked No. 2 in Strib Varsity’s Minnesota Top 25, the Royals ranked No. 4 and the teams claiming the top two seeds in the section once again.

Section newcomer Buffalo, the No. 3 seed and No. 10 in the Minnesota Top 25, could play spoiler, however, after splitting the season series with Hopkins and taking Wayzata to overtime before losing by a point.

Only one team can make it to state, and you can follow all the action here. Every game in every round of the Class 4A, Section 6 tournament is streaming live exclusively on Strib Varsity and available for replay after.

Quarterfinals

No. 5 seed St. Louis Park at No. 4 seed Edina

Edina (12-14) won 67-52 when the teams met Jan. 31 at St. Louis Park and needs to do it again to face Wayzata in the semifinals.

St. Louis Park (10-16), however, beat Hopkins early in the season, and the Orioles will look to put on a similar performance. Junior Matthew Johnson, who scored 24 points in the upset of the Royals, leads St. Louis Park.

No. 6 seed Minneapolis Washburn at No. 3 seed Buffalo

7 p.m. Friday, March 6

Buffalo (21-5), No. 10 in the Minnesota Top 25, started the season 15-1 and was at one point in the top three in Class 4A. The Bison have since lost to Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove and Hopkins but won 75-63 when they visited Minneapolis Washburn (15-11) on Feb. 2.

The Millers have found success in containing their opponents, allowing an average of 45.8 points.

No. 7 seed Armstrong at No. 2 seed Hopkins

7 p.m. Friday, March 6

With a victory, Hopkins’ Ken Novak would become the winningest coach in Minnesota boys basketball history.

Armstrong (13-13) and Hopkins (19-7), No. 4 in the Minnesota Top 25, last faced each other Dec. 3, 2019, with the Royals winning 79-56.
