Three teams in the top 10 — No. 3 Rosemount, No. 8 Forest Lake and No. 9 Byron — lost to teams that didn’t make the list.

The first full week of the postseason led to Moorhead’s quick move and not much else.

The teams in Strib Varsity’s statewide ranking went 25-for-25 on the playoff weekend.

East Ridge, Moorhead and Edina were among the teams that won Friday, securing spots in the second round.

Media members from across the state spent weeks refining the top 10s. As the playoffs begin, here is their last batch of the season.

Strib Varsity’s Jim Paulsen offers another statewide ranking before the section and Class 6A state tournaments begin this week.

Maple Grove, Rosemount, Centennial and Forest Lake are the No. 1 seeds.

The Irish held off Lakeville South for a 20-15 victory Wednesday night, finishing the regular season 7-1.

The ranked teams lost mostly to each other, but Edina (51-44 loser to Moorhead) and Cretin-Derham Hall (61-27 loser to Elk River) were notable exceptions.

Minnetonka plays at Maple Grove in a rematch of the 2024 title game, and Lakeville South travels to Rosemount for a game pitting top-five teams.
