Privates in Tournament

[jdh]

First time in the history of this great event we have three private schools. We’ve had two several times and also a couple of all-private finals.

Yet they've still won very few titles comparatively. So I'm not too worried.

[defense]

And for the first time in history I will be cheering one.
Go Blake. Assuming Moorhead does not exorcise their demon or curse or whatever.

With no Edina fans will have someone to cheer against. Except for maybe Blake

I think the fans will give Blake credit for opting up. I will be a strange tournament with no real crowd favorite. Going into the section finals I think there were a bunch of teams that could have filled that bill; Roseau, Hastings, probably Burnsville and White Bear Lake as well. Now we are left with the 3 private schools, the blah suburbs of Maple Grove and Lakeville, Eden Prairie May fill the Edina villain role. That leaves Moorhead, who at least in my section isn’t exactly a crowd favorite.

Andover adds some intrigue but the rest of the teams are not my cup of tea. I will be following class A in 2020.

It will be mildly amusing to ask ushers, "Where is the Edina section? They're in this thing every year." It's priceless to see them scan the X with a confused look & tell you, "I don't know."

If the privates hear "Where's your ci-ty?" from the likes of EP, Andover, or MG, the response should be "Where's you downtown?"

I don't think there is any "may fill the villain role" question about it with EP, they are undoubtedly the villains of this group teams.

I would think Andover as the new team and Moorhead as a northern sentimental favorite that's never won will be the two teams that everyone gets behind.

I'd not be surprised to see neutral fans in favor of the Huskies. They'll gloss over it being a suburban monolith. Not exactly the Daddy's Money crowd, but far from Brooklyn Center too.

I think you are right on the money.

And whoever is playing EP

[East Side Pioneer Guy]

I hate the new teams in the tournament. I like the same teams there every year.
