High School Girls 2010-2011 Preview with 2nd Thoughts

Some of you have read through this already, but I see that I really missed on a couple kids--i.e. Michelle Young and Whitney Tinjum, so I've corrected for that.

AAAA

1. Eden Prairie--was #2 previously but added Aubrey Davis from Kennedy

2. Lakeville North--very, very difficult not to go with Rachel Banham, but there it is

3. Hopkins--moves up from #5 with the addition of T.T. Starks from Mpls. North

4. Prior Lake

5. Edina--this is higher than you've got 'em but Katybeth Biewen is better than you think

6. Eastview--Alex Beckman the latest super guard

7. Bloomington Kennedy--down from #4

8. White Bear Lake--still has Alexis Foley, except I hear she's hurt right now

9. Woodbury

10. Wayzata--Grossfeld and Timmerman are a terrific inside duo, but what about the guards?

11. Osseo

12. Centennial

13. Maple Grove

14. Minnetonka

15. North St. Paul

AAA

1. Benilde-St. Margaret's--all the way from #3 with roster losses at DLS and North

2. Hill-Murray

3. St. Michael-Albertville--not sure who is good enough to be #3 anymore, why not SMA?

4. Red Wing--ditto, beside Tesha Buck is terrific
