Separated by a dozen years, two of the state’s private school powers made the jump from Class 1A champion to Class 2A contender. After winning in 2001, Benilde-St. Margaret’s opted up and after winning its third straight title last winter, St. Thomas Academy did the same. Crafty Cadets’ junior Tom Novak has already committed to the University of Minnesota, and Benilde-St. Margaret's senior Spencer Naas ranks among the state's scoring leaders with 35 points in 14 games.
