Mayer Lutheran and Minneota, the teams that played for the state title last fall, switched spots atop their class’ list.

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.

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.

The school will leave the Northwest Suburban and join the conference that is home to four of the seven biggest schools in Minnesota.
