The Minnesota Girls Basketball Head Coaches Association made a few moves in its top 10 rankings this week, but no major shakeups.
The most movement came in Class 2A. Minnewaska climbed back into the rankings to tie for No. 8 with Red Wing, which dropped from the No. 6 spot. Duluth Marshall and New London-Spicer moved up one spot to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, as Rochester Lourdes fell two spots to No. 5.
Class 3A had the most newcomers to the list with Delano and Fergus Falls joining the top 10 at No. 9 and No. 10. Northfield jumped two spots to No. 7. Marshall and Orono swapped spots at No. 2 and No. 3.
After missing the rankings last week, New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva reentered the Class 1A top 10 at No. 10. The only other movements were spots swaps between Central Minnesota Christian and East Grand Forks at No. 5 and No. 6 and Mayer Lutheran and Braham at No. 7 and No. 8.
The fewest moves came in Class 4A, with Elk River and Lakeville North swapping spots at No. 8 and No. 10.
