Maple Grove and Minnewaska carry the longest active win streaks in the first Minnesota Top 25 of the postseason.

The teams are beginning section tournaments this week as they play their way toward state.

Postseason play begins Tuesday around Minnesota, and some of the state’s best could be eliminated before reaching the state tournament.

As the regular season winds down, Maple Grove, Eagan and Centennial made big jumps.

Maple Grove rose to No. 1 in Class 4A, and Eagan surged up the list into a tie for second.

Marshall, Lakeville South, Delano, Chanhassen and Maple Grove remain the top five, though winning streaks were put to the test.

Mayer Lutheran and Minneota, the teams that played for the Class 1A title last fall, switched spots atop their list.

Lakeville South rose to No. 1 in Class 4A, moving Chanhassen down to No. 2.

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

Chloe Aarness, James Engle Jr., Romi Chlebecek, Parker Kuehn, Chloe Alley, Marlon Seahorn Jr. and Livi Abboud-Young are honored for their success.
