So far after two tournaments here is how the AAU season is prepping for the high school season
As you can see the Lake is Great with 19 total players that are currently in grades 9-11. This does not include the 8th graders like Amaya Battle that would pop that total even higher.
These numbers are created by how many players cross my path in championship games in the qualifier and state AAU. I will keep adding when I see more championship tilts.
As for what schools lead the way:
1 Wayzata 8
2 Hopkins 6
3 Stillwater 5
4 Eastview, Farmington, Park Center, Roseville, 4
3 Minnetonka, Prior Lake, St. Michael-Albertville 3
2 Armstrong, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Forest Lake, Holy Angels, Minnehaha, Rochester Lourdes
All signs point to a colossal 6AAAA battle between Wayzata and Hopkins —a state final wrapped in a section final.
AAAA tops by section
1 Farmington
2 Minnetonka, Prior Lake
3 Eastview
4 Stillwater
5 Park Center, Roseville
6 Wayzata (Hopkins right behind)
7 Forest Lake
8 St. Michael-Albertville
