Lighted-hearted tongue in cheek comment. Assume you mean ER and Buffalo. Congrats to Tonka. They were the best team.

Re: 23 state tournament winners

they are split into 4 sections based on geography If true (not saying you're wrong but I know I heard about the "upper" and "lower" divisions somewhere) the geography doesn't make a lot of sense. And the naming scheme (Gold North, Gold South, Maroon North, Maroon South) makes zero sense unless Gold...

Re: 23 state tournament winners

I don't pay real close attention to high school football, but I believe they rank (by competitive level) the top 32 into two divisions. Gold and maroon I think? So they sort of have two classes within 6A for the regular season, but they all still play for one 6A champion. they are split into 4 sect...

Re: 23 state tournament winners

Football doesn't do it. They are separated into classes based on enrollment, just like hockey is. They just have way more classes with more schools having football programs. 6A is the biggest 32 schools Football ranks the top 32 and that’s the top class, every year no, they don't. https://www.mshsl...

Seems as though some certain teams have found a loophole to ensure a state trip.

Re: What is your favorite State Tournament Chants ??

Not a chant, but I still think one of the coolest celies I saw was when (I think) Tommy Novak of STA after scoring a goal skated towards the student section, and (obviously pre-planned) pointed to the students and "parted the Red Sea". I remember it getting some hate but i thought it was very creat...

Has anyone from 3A ever won the state tournament? Seems whoever comes out of that Section almost always gets the #1 or #2 team as a quarterfinal matchup and doesn't ever end up making it very far.
STA did in 2006

Re: Class A QF #3 seed 4A Mahtomedi (20-8-0) vs 6A Alexandria (14-12-1)

It got called in the first Edina Wayzata game this year. Kvasnicka scored to make it 3-1 Edina, jumped into the glass in front of Edina students, took a penalty, Edina scored on the ensuing power play to make it 4-1.

Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

I find a bit remarkable, that EP and Tonka, two of the largest schools in the state, can't find enough high end talent inside their own borders. Not as much at EP, but look at the Tonka kids who are no longer in the program who would have been beneficial to have (just the ones I can think of off th...

Isn't Scheetz a D1 commit (Vermont)? Along with Moore (UM) and Lunski (St. Thomas)? Last I looked, Burrows is their leading points-getter and Krebsbach had like 60 pts in his last season at Mound. Thats quite a bit a talent that 'arrived'. But keep on bashing Hill everyone #-o Oh I'm not giving the...
