3-0 after one. I'd say this one's over, but not after last year and the Andover - Maple Grove final.

Re: Moorhead Edina

I can tell you that the arena staff get to know these coaches and programs very well. And Giles is highly regarded, barely second to only one other coach. They report him to be extremely gracious and personable, always individually acknowledging the staff that he sees every year. They tell me he is ...

Re: It's tourney time!

In a ten year period 8 times out of ten it was the Broncos or Roseau. And one time the Broncos were runner up. Only one time were neither in the final. And I believe 3 times those two were in the final. Ah, let's discuss the Glory Days. Now at that time, were a lot of people pulling for the underdo...

Re: Bantams still a good predictor of HS success

I don't live there but have been led to believe by some with first-hand knowledge that the Woodbury HS portion of that school district is a bit different demographically these days with fewer young families, and also slightly less affluent than the East Ridge portion (I'm not implying that it's a b...

Re: Bantams still a good predictor of HS success

Apologies for the dumb question here but can someone explain why the talent time and time again chooses to go to Hill/CDH and not Woodbury/Eastridge? Woodbury public schools aren't bad by any means and I've always heard good things about Coach Vogel so what's the deal? Obviously hard to deny the tr...

Re: Official 2026 State Seeds

This year’s tournament has as much intrigue on Thursday in AA as I can remember. I think the top 4 seeds are spot on and are all obviously favored in their quarterfinal final matchups. Rightfully so they will most likely end up playing on Friday night. But…………. 1 seed Minnetonka draws arguably the ...

Re: Section 4AA final

Not sure WBL won a draw all night. #9 lost every face-off and seemed a little disinterested at the dot. This wasn't WBLs most talented group by any means, but was the worst loss ( especially the way the game went) with the new coaching staff. Gentry played well, but let's not get carried away actin...

I give Gentry credit. They did what they needed to do. It was a down year talent-wise for this section, but they got the job done.

Re: 4AA semi-finals

Bears around 500, Stillwater sputtering at the end just like East Ridge, and an average Hill team. It's entirely possible Gentry will be playin...
