The weather last week prevented much movement in the Metro Top 10, with most teams playing only one game if any at all.
One significant development happened in Class 3A, where No. 10 Benilde-St. Margaret's (4-0) won at DeLaSalle 55-49, knocking the Islanders (4-2) out of the top 10.
The Red Knights limited outstanding DeLaSalle senior guard Nasir Whitlock to a season-low 14 points. Whitlock, committed to Lehigh, is averaging 26.5 points per game.
Sophomore 6-5 forward Abu Keita led the Red Knights with a season-high 21 points. Benilde-St. Margaret's has an outstanding 2025 class, with Keita, 6-7 forward Jalen Wilson and 6-1 guard Jaleel Donley.
This week's marquee matchup
Shakopee at Eden Prairie, 7:30 p.m. Thursday
It's holiday tournament time, with the top teams scattered throughout the area and into South Dakota. No. 9 Shakopee (4-0) has jumped into the Metro Top 10, and seeing where it stacks up against No. 4 Eden Prairie (3-1) will be a good measuring stick.
