Defending Champion: St. Paul Central

Predicted Seeding

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

Johnson remains loaded and a favorite but the top of this section is as strong as ever.  St. Thomas Academy returns a nice group.  Simley has 4 talented guys back including 3 solid perimeter guys.  Hill-Murray's backcourt is as good as anyone's in the metro.  Central is still talented.  Highland Park goes 6th by default.  Harding and South St. Paul will struggle.  The potential semifinal matchups of Mobley vs Wilson and Simley vs St. Thomas Academy are very interesting neighborhood matchups.

Sleeper: Hill-Murray.  The backcourt strength is hard to ignore.  Marshawn Wilson is capable of going off and leading his team alone to a win.

Section Winner: St. Paul Johnson.
