A look at the top offenses per 100 possessions
Minneapolis Roosevelt 107.5
Hill-Murray 107.4
Apple Valley 106
Hopkins 102.5 (2 games)
St. Paul Johnson 100
Minneapolis Washburn 97.0
Roseville 97.0

Scoring off possessions
Hopkins .517 (2 games)
Eastview .507
Hill-Murray .500
Tartan .500
Roseville .493
Apple Valley .479
Minneapolis Roosevelt .478
Lakeville North .453
DeLaSalle .446
Andover .444
Now what happened last year in the AAAA championship game. The scoring off possessions drop big time. Bloomington Kennedy checked in at .434; Hopkins .373. In other words defense is at a premium as if we didn't know that already. Holding a good team to under .400 is important.
So we might be looking at the wrong end of the horse.
If that is the case who has the strongest points per 100 on Defense?
Eastview 50.5
Rochester Lourdes 51.9
Lakeville North 59.4
Mounds View 59.5
Woodbury 63.6
How about that sub .400 on scoring efficiency?
Rochester Lourdes .241
Lakeville North .250
Eastview .271
Woodbury .273
Mounds View .291
Tartan .322
Apple Valley.348
Irondale .356
Hopkins .361 (two games)
North St. Paul .362
Stillwater .375
Warning: Looking at the above list only Hopkins played top 10 teams when these numbers were crunched (St. Paul Central, Cretin-Derham Hall)
