Defending Champion: St. Paul Johnson

Predicted Seeding

1. St. Paul Johnson
2. Hill-Murray
3. St. Paul Central
4. St. Thomas Academy
5. St. Paul Highland Park
6. Simley
7. St. Paul Harding
8. South St. Paul

Johnson has won this section 5 consecutive years. Their tradition here is hard to ignore and they have a goto guy in Jalen Mobley.  Hill-Murray has explosive scorer Marshawn Wilson which always makes them scary plus they have shooters.  Central will be athletic and talented.  St. Thomas Academy is solid.  Highland Park's lack of size hurts but they'll play hard.  Simley is much improved and could fight for a home game.   Harding and South St. Paul will bring up the last 2 spots.

Sleeper: St. Thomas Academy.  They have a quality group of juniors and as they gel they'll get better as the season goes on.

Section Winner: St. Paul Johnson.
