The Knights left the Hiawatha Valley League for the Gopher Conference in 2021–22. “Size-wise we’ve been going down with our student population,” the activities director at the time, Randy Hockinson, told the Kenyon Leader when the move was announced. The school’s MSHSL classification enrollment is 204 and its administrative region is 1A.
Our report
Where it stands
A program that gets to the postseason. The Knights took a No. 5 seed into Section 1A one year and, in February 2026, won a Section 1AA play-in over St. Charles 69-63 — Anna Ostertag with 25 points, Mali Quam 17, Claire Olson 14 — before falling at top-seeded Red Wing. Twenty-six games are on the 2026-27 calendar.
