Section Changes

What is this group hearing about section changes? I am hearing there are big changes afoot, but don't know the reliability of sources. Big changes as in permissions being granted for teams to drop to A although they may not fit the attendance criteria (this is not in reference to Roseau); teams movi...

Re: Official 2024-25 Coaching Changes

Matt Niskanen officially hired yesterday with a 5-1 school board vote. Would be curious why someone voted against. The meeting is online, and while not coming out and saying it, it appears that one of the Board members didn't like that the interview process went through a Committee that only involv...

Question for Section Seeding

Question about section tournaments (because I don't follow close enough to know):

When there are more than 8 teams in a section, how does the seeding work for the 9th and 10th teams? What is the play-in procedure?

Thanks.

I feel like this quote from the WDC coach probably speaks a bit to what many high school coaches are in the midst of (emphasis added) : “I still enjoy practice, games, bus rides, hanging out with the guys, etc.," Woods explained. "Those things can cause burnout for some coaches, but not fo...

Re: The Rise of the North in Coming Years?

I think you give Hibbing a year or two to get bigger and stronger (hard to play against guys three years older than you are) and they're going to have a couple year run near the top for A. Like any smaller program (in the city or out-state) they will need to hold all of the players for the full run...

East only up 2-1 after 2. Coon Rapids scored first and led 1-0 after the first. Who are these guys?! The current Juniors and top Sophs from Coon Rapids are the deepest group the high school has seen in quite a while.
