Each year coaches look at their post-season roster and take ten of those individuals to compile their team GPA. These teams can either qualify for a Silver Award (3.00-3.49) or Gold Award (3.5+) cumulative GPA.
In 2022 we had 127 teams qualify for these two levels of academic awards. Class A was led by Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale/Parkers Prairie which boasted a 3.887 team GPA (top in Class A and top overall). The top team in Class AA was Mora with a 3.830 team GPA. Class AAA was led by Waconia and their 3.856 team GPA.
Congrats to all the teams and their success in the classroom.
