For the seventh year in a row, it's Trojans vs. Royals for the girls basketball state tournament bid. This section final more than once over the years has been referred to as the unofficial state championship game. Maple Grove, No. 2 in the latest Star Tribune Minnesota Top 25, isn't hearing that this year, but Wayzata (23-4) and Hopkins (23-5) are ranked 3, 4, respectively.

The Royals completely own this rivalry, winning all six of the previous section finals. All of them in Hopkins. This one will be in Wayzata's gym. Read more about Thursday night's showdown here.
