This just in: When Chanhassen High School opens in the fall of 2009, it will be a member of the Lake Conference.  That will give the Lake 12 teams.

Chanhassen will be the second high school in the Chaska district.

The addition of Chanhassen to the Lake is no surprise. But now that it’s official, it adds to the intrigue of what will happen with the Classic Lake. With only five current schools (Armstrong, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Wayzata), the Classic Lake is on the verge of falling apart. MSHSL rules demand a conference have at least five members. We will know more this fall, when the Armstrong district is expected to hold a levy.

If that levy fails, expect Armstrong to depart from the Classic Lake. Then we’ll see the dominos fall as the other Classic Lake teams seek new homes. And it’s no secret that some, if not all, of the Classic Lake schools would like to either join the Lake, or see the Lake and Classic Lake schools form two new leagues.
