who is the preseason favorites?

Mayo should be tough again this year

Until the Lakeville schools have to play postseason against the other Metro teams they will always be favorites in 1AA. The best team in Rochester can usually compete, but most of 1AA is composed of teams that should be playing in Class A.

Well said. None of the teams in 1AA have the depth of talent to compete with the best in the state, and most can't compete with section 1A!

In my opinion to make this section stronger, Lourdes should be moved up because they already take the top players from Rochester, so they might as well move up to AA and possibly bring St Thomas in and take a few teams out.

well id say the one sure thing is this section is preseason favorite to finish last in state

I agree all private schools should play the highest level since they take the best kids from the AA schools, but you can't move anyone in like Saint Thomas or any one out without changing the section boundaries which would just make a different section weaker.

Go easy my man. Century beat Duluth East during the year so in light of that and both teams going two and out at state Century most certainly came in second, right?
