Where do the AAAA & AAA Minnesota girls basketball champions live in the four class era?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One county outshines them all. Perhaps it is because it is the most populous county in the state: Hennepin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the 44 championships won since 1997 (the start of the four class era) Hennepin county teams have won 26. That is a 59 % clip. AAA the ratio is even more pronounced with 15 of 22 titles (68%). Of the outlying counties Dakota has the second most titles with 5, all in AAAA; Ramsey 3; Sherburne 2; with Anoka, Scott, Washington and Wright each claiming one. Carver has been shut out entirely, but at the AAAA level Anoka, Scott and Wright have never won a title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outstate teams have four titles, with only one belonging to AAAA—that would be the very first year of the four class system with Olmstead County\u2019s Rochester Mayo taking the title. That year all four champions came from outside of the metro area, the only time that has happened. But the last time a non-metro team won in AAA came in 2002 (Marshall)—–which is ancient history to a senior in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting back to the AAA level the last metro team NOT<\/em><\/strong> from Hennepin County to win the title came in 2009 (ten years ago) when St. Michael-Albertville (then in AAA) beat Minneapolis North for the crown. The class of 2019 would have been in second grade then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Has there ever been a year where all four of the champs were metro based? Yes: 1998 & 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1998: And all four came from Hennepin County in 2012: Where do the AAAA & AAA Minnesota girls basketball champions live in the four class era?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[10,7],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8CdKT-3az","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":12436,"url":"https:\/\/kjasr.com\/live\/?p=12436","url_meta":{"origin":12187,"position":0},"title":"MN GBB: AAAA & AAA Thursday Results 1.17.2019","date":"January 18, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"AAAA #9 Forest Lake 77, East Ridge 42 #15 Armstrong 47, #16 Shakopee 40 #17 Elk River 55, Anoka 52 AAA Brainerd 54, #2 Alexandria 45 Girls\u00a0Basketball: Warrior girls upset No. 1 ranked Cardinals-----Brainerd Dispatch #6 Waseca 52, Fairmont 22 #7 Waconia 87, Hutchinson 61 Jays\u00a0pull away in second half\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "GBB: Minnesota"","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":20400,"url":"https:\/\/kjasr.com\/live\/?p=20400","url_meta":{"origin":12187,"position":1},"title":"A Look at the AAAA, 8AAAA, 2AA South, 3AA South, NW Suburban, Big South East & West","date":"February 21, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"This is part two to the Week that Was #13 A LOOK AT THE CLASSES (SO FAR) With the completion of AAAA last week we can examine in athumbnail some of the differences in classes.
