If it were not for Covid the Rochester schools would have been seeded #6,8 and 9 out of 9 in 1AA this year. Ness did a great job at John Marshall. JM has zero chance in 1AA as it is now. Fornwald stepping down at Albert Lea surprises me a bit as they are always competitive and he is a good coach. F...

Announcers curse? Stang5280 on Sunday regarding Little Falls upcoming week.....” assuming Little Falls emerges unscathed”. #-o Tartan may roll a tired DC team tomorrow afternoon, but still a successful weekend for Dodge County. Maybe the first top 10 win a 1A team has had in a number of years. Not ...

I think I have Waseca high as well, but East has a losing record and lost to Faribault. The Big Nine is not very good and the bottom of the conference is awful with 6 team ranked #117 or below. East has a nice win over Hutch but really that is it. I think at some point you have to win some games, E...

Well, as expected Hermantown will be the #1 seed at state. Looks like Mankato West, LDC, and the 5A winner will be the unseeded teams. I know the draw is "random", but here's a guess as to the seeds: 1. Hermantown 2. Breck/Delano 3. Cathedral 4. TRF/EGF 5. SPA/TG or LF if they win 6A. 6. ...

I applaud you!

It should be implied but my tiebreaker is 8.

PM if interested in buying two tickets to all Class AA Sessions for the MSHSL State Hockey Tournament.

Where's the poll?

New Prague: 5 Northfield: 3

Luverne is indeed a team most people would love to cheer for..until you hear their fans talk and then you wish Saint Thomas was still in Class A to pound those ignorant people into the ground.

Is 3A back to irrelevancy all of a sudden? What happened to Luverne?

Mankato West over Northfield 3-2
New Prague over Faribault 5-1

I believe it's done strictly through a computer using geography and enrollment numbers.

New Prague over Lourdes 3-2
West over Albert Lea 5-1
Red Wing over Northfield 4-3
Faribo over LSHSP 5-2

I don't think I can recall so many close first round match-ups----usually scores like the Albert Lea game, not OT or 2OT in the play in games. Pretty much follows the thoughts by most that this section would be close and fun--looking forward to the action tomorrow night. Where to go tomorrow is the...

4 Faribault by three
5 Lesuer in overtime
6 Red wing wins by two or three
7 Albert lea wins by two
8 Lourdes wins in overtime

Didn't see that coming. Nice work.

Based on current scores, Section 1A is going to be a blast.

Am I missing something on Northfield? Losses to JM, Century, and Faribault recently, all teams Mankato West has beaten in the last month. I'm not saying I think West is a whole lot better, but just curious why everyone likes Northfield..don't see New Prague losing but need an upset somewhere?

AA 1. Lakeville North 2. Edina 3. STA 4. Hill, WBL 5. Blaine 6. EP 7. Elk River 8. Bemidji, Moorhead 1x1x1x2x1x1x1x2 = $4 A. 1. New Prague, Mankato West 2. Breck, Delano 3. Luverne 4. Mahtomedi 5. Spring Lake Park 6. Alexandria, St. Cloud Apollo 7. Hermantown 8. EGF 2x2x1x1x1x2x1x1= $8

Money talks..If High School Hockey continues to be imploded by junior leagues and AAA teams, the MSHSL will lose it's primary money maker in the State tournament. If that happens, or even begins to, changes will happen whether or not it's best for the students. No it doesn't and that line you and s...

That would be a heck of a quarterfinal!

I am curious as to what people's opinions are on ticket scalpers profiting on MSHSL events and specifically the Boys State AA Hockey tournament. I personally feel as though capitalizing on events involving high school students is not right. The ticket price should be face value so that it is always...

I was at Schwans Arena this weekend and looming all over the complex were 4'x6' signs for AAA hockey. Their big selling point is more games. In Minnesota we're very lucky to still have high school hockey. Most states don't. The talk out there is to be competitive with AAA hockey the MSHSL is going ...

The powerful teachers' unions would never go along with this. Instead, I think they should raise the maximum number of regular season games to 30 and play 20 minute periods. Many teachers are in favor of year round schooling and it would not really be the teachers Unions final decision. Regardless,...
