The MSHSL has reshuffled the sections for the next two seasons beginning in 2025-2026. There are some significant changes, but mostly minor tweaks. As for major moves\u2026.8AAAA has three section winners from 2025 (Brainerd, Alexandria-from 8AAA; Monticello-from 5AAA). Goodhue is bumped back up into AA. NRHEG moves from 2AA to 1A.<\/p>\n

So here is the first preliminary look at seeding the state 2026 style. This will obviously change with player and coaching movements which are already underfoot.<\/p>\n
