Maple Grove, the Lakeville schools, Cretin-Derham Hall and others are in the stretch run of conference title races.

Marshall remains No. 1 in the ranking, but Strib Varsity writer Marcus Fuller has different teams in nine of the top 10 spots.

Seven teams in Class 4A’s top 10 competed in the tournament Friday and Saturday, along with Marshall, No. 1 in 3A.

Marshall, Chanhassen and the Lakeville schools, all squads that have been No. 1 in their class this season, hold the top four spots.

Chanhassen is the new No. 1, ahead of Lakeville North and Lakeville South, while the No. 1 teams in Class 3A, 2A and 1A remain the same.

Marshall won its Southwest Minnesota Challenge last weekend, catapulting the Tigers into the No. 1 position.

Lakeville North replaces rival at No. 1 in Class 4A, while Marshall (3A), Hawley (2A) and Minneota (1A) hold steady in the coaches poll released Sept. 7.

Lakeville South (Class 4A), Marshall (3A), Hawley (2A) and Minneota (1A) retained the top spots in the statewide coaches poll released Aug. 31.

The list runs 16 players deep and includes athletes committed to the nation’s top programs, including two who plan to play for the Gophers.

The list starts with defending Class 4A champion Lakeville South, moves to school district rival Lakeville North and then hits the rest of the state.
