Love the disclaimer at the bottom of the section alignment page on MSHSL:
Section assignments are for the post-season only. Schools can schedule regular season contests as they always have. Section Assignments at times are a big deal to many schools, coaches, and programs and we understand that. Remember 50% of teams lose their first sub-section/section game, only 7% of teams get to go to State and only 1% are State Champions. Winning is fun and creates lasting memories, but so does teamwork, facing adversity, overcoming challenges, being accountable to others, losing with dignity and many other life-long skills that education-based activities give to kids to make them better people and more prepared for their future. Not everyone can win, so hopefully that isn't the only reason Why We Play.

4AA is interesting, though if all the MV/IRONDALE
supporters are correct about the demise of their associations hence co-oping, then the loss of Cretin to 6AA will weaken 4AA..
There will be further changes to these as there always are...BUT,I think we can say good-bye to
NEW ULM at the state tourney....Mound Westonka
and Orono were given a new life by being placed in their new section
Also interesting, New Prague girls in sec2 AA
New Prague boys sec 2 A.
