Southeast Minnesota Teams That Made the Rankings

Southeast Minnesota teams really made their mark in the Class AA Girls Basketball Rankings. Goodhue, Lake City, Rochester Lourdes, and Dover-Eyota all were ranked in the Top 20. Hayfield is still the lone southeast Minnesota team ranked in Class A, but Kingsland is 7-1 on the season and looks like a really strong team. Their lone loss is to Hayfield.

Austin and Stewartville also cracked the Top 20 in Class AAA. It is still early in the season, but Section 1 is shaping up to have some fantastic tournament action this February and March in multiple classes.

In boys basketball, Rushford-Peterson was the big mover shooting all the way up to #3 in Class A after taking down previously top-ranked Hayfield. The Vikings fell to #4 while Spring Grove stayed at #15. Caledonia and Lake City remained ranked in Class AA, and Austin, Red Wing, and Stewartville were ranked in Class AAA.
