Minnesota Top 25: The Star Tribune’s statewide ranking of girls basketball teams

As the regular season comes to a close, three schools in the Minnesota Top 25, the Star Tribune’s statewide girls basketball rankings, remain undefeated.

One Minnesota school not yet in the rankings is also enjoying an unbeaten season.

Providence Academy (24-0), winners of three consecutive Class 2A state championships, remains No. 1 in the rankings. The Lions conclude the season with two games in Wisconsin this weekend.

Then there’s Crosby-Ironton (25-0, 2A) and Monticello (24-0) — the No. 5 and No. 8-ranked teams. Monticello will conclude its season Friday night at Zimmerman.

The fourth team looking to run the table is Royalton (25-0). The Royals (2A) will conclude their regular season Friday night at Pine City.
