Moorhead has established itself as the favorite to win state in Grand Rapids in March. They are arguably one of the best Bantam teams in the country.
Tonka and Wayzata both move up after impressive post-holiday success. Skippers win the Edina Invitational and the Trojans beat previous #2 Prior Lake and gain the Grand Forks final before losing to the Spuds.

Here are some notes on the rest of the top ten.
-No. 1 Shakopee dropped a few games to AA squads, the Sabers are safe at No. 1 for now.
-Hopkins impresses this weekend as they won the Edina invitational tournament over No. 6 Osseo/Maple Grove.

Edina White is the biggest story in this weeks top 10, as the Hornets swarm from unranked to No. 6. Edina White defeated two top-10 teams on their way to a title in the Edina invitational this past weekend. Lakeville North is another team that went unranked to ranked this past week. The Panthers took 3rd place on the Edina invitational with two top-10 wins as well. Hermantown Blue is the new No. 1 team at the Bantam B level. The Hawks went an impressive 5-0-1 since the last time we did rankings. One notable score is Roseville defeating previous No. 1 Mahtomedi, which bumped the Raiders to No. 5.
