A regular season that seemingly just began has three weeks remaining, and most teams are still seeking some semblance of consistency.
There is an exception: No. 1 Cretin-Derham Hall (7-0).
The Raiders already have victories over No. 5 East Ridge (6-3), No. 6 Mounds View (5-3) and No. 7 Woodbury (6-2). They have a two-game lead in the state's toughest conference, the Suburban East.
Another unbeaten, Class 3A New Prague (8-0), vaults into the top 10 in the final spot just in time to tackle the toughest week of its schedule. Games against Benilde-St. Margaret's, Chaska and Shakopee will indicate just how good the Trojans are in 2023.
