Hopkins, reigning in Class 4A, and Providence Academy, 2A’s winner four years in a row, begin the list.

Hopkins, Benilde-St. Margaret’s and Providence Academy begin the 2025 season as the top teams in 4A, 3A and 2A according to the Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association.

Wednesday marked the first day of the early signing period. Here’s where Division I- and II-bound athletes from the state are headed next.

Classes 4A, 3A and 2A played it down to four teams Wednesday, and Class 1A will take that step Thursday.

Chaska senior Ella Keenan has spent more time in doctors’ offices than on the court this season, but her section semifinal buzzer-beater and season-long perseverance helped the Hawks reach the Class 4A girls basketball tournament.

The brackets will be revealed Saturday, and quarterfinals will begin Wednesday.

Chaska, Maple Grove and Brainerd also won Class 4A section championships.
