Hastings with a nice 6-3 win over Tartan. I'm ready to see them and South again in the section final. Maybe South won't get every call in the house this year....

Re: Games Tuesday 2-23-21
I wish this message board had a barf emoji. I thought this was a winnable game for East going in! At no point was it an interesting game (though I will confess to tuning out large portions of the stream in the later stages). Some of the Spuds had a nice night, but the Hounds' play in their own zone in particular was brutal.

On the bright side, no one wants to play east come sections. Period. And I've seen it too many times. Randolph teams under .500 in January and making noise at state in March. So this doesn't bother me all that much...karl(east) wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:43 pmI wish this message board had a barf emoji. I thought this was a winnable game for East going in!

Re: Games Tuesday 2-23-21
Unfortunately, it’s difficult enough for an average to slightly below average AA team to win games on the road but, when six players quit within a three week span (3 of whom are seniors) it makes winning even more challenging. At this rate, Coach Randolph will need to coach another 5-8 years to get that all-time wins record he so covets...Sparlimb wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 11:01 pmOn the bright side, no one wants to play east come sections.

And here I was thinking the Duluth East teams have been so bad the past couple years that people would give up the notion that he's such a good coach that actually having good players doesn't matter.
Be kind. Rewind.

Well obviously you are right, horses win games. That's always been true. People like Lechner at Hill but he had a losing season early on, first one in 35 years. But I've also seen Randolph win games it didn't seem his team had any business winning. So I wouldn't count them out. That's all. Beating Rapids and Andover on back to back games would be a tall task for any team.O-townClown wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 9:39 amAnd here I was thinking the Duluth East teams have been so bad the past couple years that people would give up the notion that he's such a good coach that actually having good players doesn't matter.
