I kind of thought it might not be good, but seeing it on paper makes it real. Hopefully, teams will improve when playing like competition. Some of the teams on that top 10 are not real fantastic basketball teams for being in the conversation of a top 10 team in the entire state (they are good, but don't feel top 10ish). It will be interesting to see the style of play teams in the new Class B go with. It became common for the big B's to really pressure defensively. I wonder if the new big B's will implement that style now that the numbers should be on their side.

They didn't beat either team in their regions championship game, going 0-4. And both of those teams will be better next year than they were this year.

Possible.
Thompson graduates dude and Stevens. Hurst, Sage, and Schwabe will fill in dude's minutes very easily, but they don't really have anyone (I'm aware of) that fills in adequately for Stevens. They played some really small lineups last year and they'll have to do it a lot more next year.
Grafton? We'll see I guess. I feel like they're deeper where they'll have more kids that can fill for their graduating players, but they weren't near as good as Thompson last year either.
There are just fewer question marks with MPCG.

Benson County gave Langdon a very tough game a few weeks ago in Langdon (ended up 65-56 but was only 4 points with 90 seconds left).
Might be a solid sleeper team that no one was talking about preseason
