If MSHSL keeps to their goal of geographically compact sections and contiguous boundaries, Eastview, Eagan and STA couldn't move to 1AA as they lack a shared border with a 1AA school.goldy313 wrote:They are made after all teams are placed in a class, including those that opt up or petition down, there are rules concerning the difference in the amount of teams sections can have, it's 2 I believe.
Which is why where the enrollment cut off will be is interesting, Rochester Century is the smallest AA school, if they are below the threshold and don't opt up someone will have to replace them in 1AA. Hastings would be the most likely school but Rosemount, AV, Eastview, Eagan, and STA are all possibilities as well.
I still like the idea of a counter-clockwise shuffle around the 494/694 circle that would send Prior Lake and Burnsville to 1AA, and back-fill 2AA with teams from 6AA. Bring 6AA up to size with a team or two from 5AA, and then place Rogers in 5AA.
If only minor adjustments are the goal, then Hastings to 1AA and STA to 3AA.

Elk River won their section in 02,04 and 05. ER wasn't in 7AA , pretty tough to win the section when you're not in!TheHockeyDJ wrote:2007.

Elk River wasn't even in 7AA in 2001, so why would I think you were talking about a section championship, especially since ER won their section in '02, '04 and '05 as well (as well not a part of 7AA)?TheHockeyDJ wrote:2007.

But now that you've clarified, clearly GR 2 section titles since 1991 is an impressive feat. Please carry on.
