Rock Ridge moves up to the No. 3 spot, creating a the top-five that consists solely of outstate teams. Moorhead skip up two spots this week to No. 5, as the Spuds win the Flow at the Falls tournament. Bloomington Jefferson is currently on a heater with seven wins straight plus an upset win over previous No. 3 Stillwater. Watch out for the Jaguars the rest of the season.

Commentary

No major shakeup in the top ten.  OMG gets a scare from a pesky Moorhead team. The Spuds went 1-1-1 on a pre-holidy swing last weekend.

Blaine is starting to hit their mid-season stride.  The Bengals had 2-0-1 northern swing and lost to #2 Edina in OT.

Commentary

The top nine teams in PWA stayed the exact same this week, as most teams from the group won. One surprising result was No. 1 Austin falling to unranked Hastings. The Raiders are on our radar from here on out. Farmington is a new addition to our rankings this week at No. 10, winning six of its last seven contests.

Commentary

No major movement for the top 10 year olds this week. Woobury Black gets a nice bump after taking home the Edina Cornerstone championship Sunday.  Roseville gets a bump with a big win over district rival Stillwater.  Four of the top five stay the same.
