Why do people say he is a floater? He was killing penalties and scored 3 goals. Just cause he is faster and smarter than the other team doesn't make him a floater. He is actually a pretty well rounded player, very strong on his skates. Of course he will have to adjust his game a bit when he gets to...

STA and Breck are the reason why they delayed the start off Friday afternoon's game for close to a half hour. There were so many people waiting in line for tickets to watch the game that the line stretched out the X and almost to Crowne Plaza. They opened the second deck for a Class A semifinal gam...

The FF Bantam A team was 6-2 against single A programs in the district. The PWA team was the number 1 seed at Districts. The talent is there to be successful. I understand that that talent may not translate into HS success, but the potential is there. It will be interesting to see where FF and LF a...

Re: Flyers

I am just curious as to how Princeton beat L F 2 times this season. Any ideas? The Flyers played a very competitive schedule this season. After watching Princeton play Cathedral in the 5A quarterfinals, it seemed as though Princeton didn't have a ton of skill but really a "lunch pail" kind of team ...

2012 VFW Bantam 'A' State Tournament

Apollo lost to Sartell and Willmar by one goal each. The Willmar loss was in OT. I believe head to head play vs. Alexandria should and will carry more weight. Say Apollo loses to Sartell again next week, do you think the head to head matchups with Alex will still carry so much weight? I would think...
