MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH SEEKS TO JOIN THE LAKE CONFERENCE

Minneapolis South High School is looking to leave the Minneapolis City Conference and join the Lake Conference.

According to Jason Gonzalez of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, “Minneapolis South, one of the oldest schools and football programs in the Twin Cities, plans to leave behind the Minneapolis City Conference for a chance to compete in the formidable Lake Conference.

South officials cited a need to keep up with change -- it recently was assigned to Class 6A with the state's biggest schools -- and a desire to rebuild its football tradition by playing stronger competition and retaining student-athletes who might otherwise leave for better programs. The football team would begin play in the suburban-based Lake Conference in 2013.”

Currently the Lake Conference is made up of Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Wayzata High Schools.
