Class 4A
The biggest mover on this week’s Minnesota Basketball News Class 4A rankings is undefeated Wayzata, coming in at No. 4 after being unranked last week. The Trojans (8-0, 1-0) won both of their games last week by at least 13-point margins.
Wayzata wasn’t the only new team to make this week’s top ten, as No. 8 New Prague (10-0), No. 9 Eden Prairie (6-3, 1-1) and No. 10 Tartan (8-0, 1-0) filled out the last three spots in the rankings. The Trojans racked up four wins in the last week, including handing No. 3-3A Totino-Grace its first loss of the season 71-58. The Eagles' offense tallied 186 points in their two wins.
Maple Grove (5-1, 1-1) moved up five spots to No. 2-4A after beating Lakeville South (3-6, 1-0) by 20 points and No. 6-4A Apple Valley (6-2, 1-0) 103-87. Tywhon Pickford scored 54 points over the Crimsons' two wins, and Brad Davison, who ranks tenth in the state in points per game (25.2), scored 51.
Class 2A
Freshman Jalen Suggs scored 79 points over Minnehaha Academy’s three wins last week to help the Redhawks (6-3) overtake Caledonia for the top spot in the Class 2A rankings. Suggs ranks sixth in the state in scoring with 221 points. The Warriors (6-1, 3-0) slipped to No. 2 after losing their first game of the season at the hands of No. 8-3A Austin (7-0, 4-0).
Michael Schaefer, a junior at St. Cloud Cathedral, sits fifth in the state in scoring, just two points ahead of Suggs. The Crusaders (8-1, 1-0) lost their first game of the season last week against No. 4-2A Melrose, who vaulted into the top ten after not appearing in the rankings last week. The Dutchmen (8-0, 1-0) are undefeated on the season, winning all of their games thus far by at least 11 points.
Lake City (7-1, 2-0) also made its way onto this week’s rankings at No. 7. The Tigers won their first seven games of the season before losing to Robbinsdale Cooper last week.
