Minnesota’s best teams earned No. 1 seeds in their sections, but the road only gets tougher from here.

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.

With section tournaments starting Monday, these teams have momentum heading into the postseason.

Maple Grove rose to the top in Class 4A, and Eagan surged up the list into a tie for second.

No movement came to the top five this week after winning streaks were put to the test.

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.

A football player with wide-ranging skills, runners who didn’t get caught, soccer players who don’t get stopped, a fast swimmer and a hard hitter are among them.

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