Unrivaled rivalries: We asked you about electric high school matchups in Minnesota, and we boiled a long list down to 10

Star Tribune readers who double as prep sports fans made their cases for the best grudge matches in the state.

You all delivered a crash course in all the must-see matchups in my new home state. Thank you.

In January, I wrote a long-overdue introduction as the Minnesota Star Tribune’s new prep sports reporter and, more importantly, asked our readers to submit what they believed were the top high school rivalries in Minnesota sports.

We received nominations for nearly 50 different pairings — and a few curveballs. (We see you, “Edina vs everybody” submissions.)

This list won’t be the last you read on the subject. As the winter and spring state tournament seasons unfold, keep an eye out for more. I’ll be catching a few in person or digging into other historical rivalries that submissions noted might be past their heyday but are still worth documenting.

For now, I’ve compiled a list of 10 of the most frequent nominees or others that made particularly strong cases as unique matchups. We included thoughts from readers about why they chose their pairings, plus more about the schools' histories.
