Teams: Andover, Anoka, Blaine, Cambridge-Isanti, Centennial, Coon Rapids, Duluth East, Forest Lake Notable Graduates:  Team Outlook While there are no changes to the teams in the section, things will look very different due to a large amount of graduation at the top in 2023.  For all the details of the section realignments you can visit
