Minnesota Star Tribune writer Jim Paulsen offers his prediction for every section tournament in Minnesota.

No. 1 Cretin-Derham Hall, under coach Buzz Hannahan, is on a four-game winning streak.

Two Duluth dads began the Minnesota Expos, and a little more than a decade later success can be measured by Division I recruits and several winning high school programs.

Mounds View pushed Cretin-Derham Hall to No. 2 in a list featuring a heavy dose of teams from the conference they share, the Suburban East.

Cretin-Derham Hall is the latest to hold the top spot, and undefeated Blaine is also on the rise.

Mounds View rose to No. 1 from the sixth spot with its fifth victory in a row, and Farmington made a similar move to No. 2.

Totino-Grace made a big move, winning four games and rising to No. 4 behind three Class 4A powers.

High school sports writer Ron Haggstrom ranks the top 25 teams in Minnesota, with familiar powers at the top.
