Yes, it’s only July and there is a lot of summer left in Minnesota. But before we know it, the state fair will be here and we’ll be on the doorstep of another prep sports year. As noted in the previous post, I attended a high school football team’s summer workout today and I might do the same on Friday before beginning a stretch of football-free vacation.

A website called PrepNation.com, whose national rankings land in my e-mailbox with regularity, is in the process of putting together state-by-state preseason football rankings. Here is PrepNation.com’s top five for our part of the world:

1. Wayzata
2. Cretin-Derham Hall
3. Eden Prairie
4. Blaine
5. Woodbury 

It’s become almost an annual ritual for those top three teams to be there when rankings come out. Blaine certainly had a great playoff run last fall and Woodbury has been on the rise, but I’m not completely sure if the Bengals and Royals will be worthy of top five status this fall.

So, the topic on the table is: Who should be ranked, and why, when the football season rolls around?

You have the floor …
