Rosemount is No. 1 in Class 3A, followed by Blaine, Stillwater, Wayzata and Mounds View. Missing from the top 10 rankings is defending champion Hastings.

Defending Class 1A champion Redwood Valley begins the season No. 9. Holdingford received the most votes, followed by Osakis, Cotter/Hope, St. Charles and Concordia Academy.
