Defending Champion: St. Paul Johnson
Predicted Seeding
- St. Paul Johnson
- St. Thomas Academy
- Hill-Murray
- Mahtomedi
- St. Paul Highland Park
- South St. Paul
- St. Paul Harding
Section Winner: St. Paul Johnson. With the star perimeter trio of Tyler, Scott and Marshall back, no way I can pick against the champs. Hill-Murray vs St. Thomas will be an interesting semifinal but I think St. Thomas wins a close one. St. Thomas is very disciplined and will keep the title game with Johnson close for a while. But on city turf at Arlington (practically Johnson's backyard) and with all that depth, Johnson pulls away late with defensive pressure and makes another run at a state title. If Hill-Murray falls to 4 they could be looking at a 2nd round rematch at Johnson where they led by 3 at the half last year before falling 70-63.
