Section 4AAAA (8 teams)
Defending Champion: Roseville
New teams in the subsection
- Cretin-Derham Hall (3AAAA)
- East Ridge (3AAAA)
- St. Paul Central (4AAA)
Teams that left the subsection
- Mahtomedi (4AAA)
- Mounds View (5AAAA)
- Roseville (5AAAA)
Predicted Seeding
- Tartan
- Cretin-Derham Hall
- Stillwater
- North
- East Ridge
- St. Paul Central
- Woodbury
- White Bear Lake
CDH and Tartan are the 2 clear favorites here. I think Tartan is better thanks to their 4 stars returning and Jarvis Thomas but a 3A league vs a 4A league gives CDH a chance to be the 1 seed. Stillwater and North will battle for the 3rd seed. East Ridge, St. Paul Central and Woodbury all have a chance to sneak into that 4th spot if North's youth hurts them. Frosh Courtney Brown Jr at East Ridge is a wild card that could bump up the Raptors. White Bear Lake is rebuilding.
Sleeper: North. They taken some lumps but now have experience in a year where many in the section are rebuilding. Add in the success at lower levels and they're a team that could surprise.
Section Winner: Tartan. A leader and goto guy in Jordan Horn and quality interior play with great depth send another Mark Klingsporn group to state.
