This time last week Lakeville North wasn’t ranked. Now the Panthers are sitting pretty at No. 6, thanks to a win over previous No. 2- OMG Black.

Edina enters the top-10 and Centennial was impressive last weekend at the Lumberjack Cup with wins over Rochester and EP (and yes a tie/shootout loss to WBL).
