1. Hopkins- AAAA
Hopkins has perhaps the top team in the country this year, their starting 5 are all top 40 players in their respective classes in the country, Maya Nnaji, Amaya Battle, Taylor Woodson, Sunaja Agara & Alivia McGill.
2. Chaska- AAAA
We have the defending State Champs coming in at #2 this year, as they simply lose more talent than Hopkins. Mallory Heyer and Kennedy Sanders may be the best Guard/Post combo there is.
3. Minnetonka- AAAA
The rich get richer, as Minnetonka add some young, talented transfers from Hopkins. However, the Skippers fate will be determined by veterans Ware, Lockett, and Dasovich.
4. Stillwater- AAAA
The Ponies boast a powerful starting 5, led by veteran D1 recruits, Amber Scalia and Lizzie Holder. Their level of success could depend on adding young depth.
5. Wayzata- AAAA
Wayzata won’t be as deep as they were last year, but they still have perhaps the best pure scorer in the state, Mara Braun.
6. Eden Prairie- AAAA
The Eagles will be led this season by the experienced and talented trio of Nia Holloway, Molly Lenz and Myra Moorjani.
7. Maple Grove-AAAA
The Crimson could have an argument for having the most depth in the state. Any given night Kennedy Klick, Kyla Overskei, or Ari Gordon could lead this group to a win. Add in some young firepower in Jordan Ode, Ava Cossette & Claire Stern and watch out for this group.
8. Becker- AAA
The Bulldogs are small, but extremely skilled. They bring a talented and deep backcourt with Adeline Kent, Ayla Brown, Dani Nuest & Marin Westin.
9. St. Michael- Albertville- AAAA
With Tessa Johnson healthy after missing last year with a broken leg, the STMA backcourt paired with Emma Miller is amung the best in the State.
10. Benilde- St. Margaret’s- AAA
BSM brings in a really good freshman class including two top 5 players in MN-2025 Kendall McGee and Zahara Bishop to go along with the #1 Player in 2024, Olivia Olson. They will be young, but dangerous.
