Congratulations to Barnesville! What a game, who knows if an extra week of practice makes a big difference but it sure looked like it helped. A tight end catches 3 TD passes out of a power T formation, nearly throws for another then gets it rushing. Incredible! FWIW USC may have worst tackling I ha...

Was a really good game.

1AA has become South and can someone get a hot goalie to make 50 saves and win 2-1? Being a #1 seed means you may have one competitive game. South is so far out and in front…. Hastings could throw in a game but they haven’t as of yet with better teams (yea, the refs really screwed them once). North ...

Albert Lea and Northfield will play each other at least twice this year. We will good read on 1A in conference play. Meh…. Does Yoon overcome the Raiders depth? Can Lourdes or someone else play a spoiler? Great questions. Northfield will be AA soon enough, (they are the next Apple Valley, Burnsville...

Fox made the Iowa@Minnesota their game of the week. To compete against the SEC on CBS…. The over/under on the Iowa/Minnesota game is 32. 32! FWIW Iowa beat Wisconsin with about 150 yards in total offense. The second time in Power 5 conference history a team has won with less than 150 yards in total ...

I have Albert Lea as my 1A favorite. Yoon coming back is huge for the Tigers. Albert Lea has depth issues but if they can keep healthy I think they are the 1A favorite.

QRF’s annual #1 in AA (Minneapolis North)just lost in their section semifinal. Year after year Minneapolis North is QRF #1 but gets killed, running time, shut out, by 1AA teams. QRF had huge issues. 1-9 man wins state titles but are never #1 1AA, same thing. Caledonia had the second longest winning...

QRF had huge issues.

1-9 man wins state titles but are never #1
1AA, same thing.

The Gophers gave up a touchdown where they had two left cornerbacks and no right cornerbacks. The right side of the field was the Gopher sideline.

This is 6th grade football level stuff here.

But the entire defense Rah Rah’s a 3rd down stop down by 28 with less than 3 minutes left in the game.

USA Hockey has a whole lot of issues.

Meh! My team, John Marshall, is 0-3 and hasn’t scored a point.

At the risk of being banned (again). Assuming that is the old Henry Sibley…..

Why would anyone work for that district?

The Rochester Royals win the state amateur class B state title in 11 innings over Champlin Park. FWIW Minnesota has over 280 town ball teams, most in places so small they have a population of under 1,000 and not much more than a Ballpark, a bar, and a Catholic Church. I worked this year’s tournament...

A week until football starts……college, high school.

An aside….. please officiate…. I have two varsity games 6 of the 8 weeks of the regular season. Because we don’t have enough officials to work on Fridays.

Ran into a former Gopher in Seth Ambrose at the town ball state tournament. He plays for St Patrick. Amazing how many former hockey players show up in this tournament. Far more than wrestlers or basketball players.

So Minnehaha can have a top basketball program but can’t field a hockey team?

Coming up on another season…..John Marshall just hired a 28 year old as their head coach. Their 3rd coach in 6 years. This was once one of the top jobs in the state…..I am wishing the new coach the best of luck. I know him well, he played football and ran track with one of my sons. LeRoy Ostander wo...

Just goes to show how worthless Twitter is…..there are kids in 3A who play 2/3 of a game due to numbers.

To even post that shows a clear ignorance.

Keep up the good work greybeard! It is largely thankless work but work that is important.

Thank you for posting this. People make their own decisions. The science is undeniable but science has become debatable. Politics sucks! Science makes us a top Country. Liberals and Conservatives who ignore science are a bane to us all. But we still want 9 year olds leading with their heads! 🤯

Exactly!

STA has been grasping at straws for a few years now. This hire just confirms that. Randolph can coach, no doubt, but times have changed. Best hope for STA….. John Marshall’s F/R lunch number is high enough they get moved into 1A and they aren’t replaced with Rosemount or Burnsville. Parents pay at S...

His own kid left. STA seems to gravitate to Lakeville kids and coaches. He underachieved at South given the talent. A one game elimination tournament often expounds on this but John Marshall, Jefferson, Kennedy, Burnsville, Apple Valley, and North all won. He didn’t, coming from a horrible section. ...

Meh,his teams underachievied every year. STA can do better. STA has screwed up this hire in the past…. My bet is they do so again.
