In the toughest sections, there are top players poised to make a big difference. We’re featuring 10 today:

This week, East Ridge dropped to No. 10 and Rosemount fell to No. 6 in Class 4A while previously unranked Chanhassen moved into the poll at No. 7.

Chanhassen is the week’s biggest climber after wins against two ranked opponents.

The No. 1-ranked teams in the four classifications held serve in the latest Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association weekly poll released Feb. 8.

High school state tournaments are known for making legends. These seniors are looking to create legacies of their own before continuing their careers at the college level.

The higher-ranked team won in each of this week’s six matchups between teams ranked in the Minnesota Top 25.

The Menahga Braves are in the top 10 for the first time this season, entering the Class 2A poll at No. 10.

The Trojans, winners of four straight games, were previously No. 3 in the top 10 poll.

Benilde-St. Margaret’s dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 in 3A, which benefitted Hill-Murray.

Meanwhile, several teams entered the coaches poll this week. They were DeLaSalle, Foley, Caledonia, Pine River-Backus and Hills-Beaver Creek.
