Thanks eagles for the brackets. Nicely done!

All updated and ready to go! Drop the puck! Oops, I guess they already did last night.

Any errors, etc, let me know.

Eagle, and whoever else is involved with these brackets, GREAT job! Biggest dilema now is what games to go to each night.

Eagles, you left out the 6 Seed in 4A I think. And a couple games were played on Saturday and not updated. I saw Big Lake vs. River Lakes wasn't changed. 3-2 RL.

But amazing job, I love it.

Thanks Eagles. This is awesome just like all the other years. I'm ready for a little March madness hockey and basketball style.

I'm getting hassled because I have a hard copy hung on my office wall...

Lame or not lame?

My boss already stole my copy, I had to run another through the plotter...

If he's regaling us with tales of the old St. Paul Auditorium, I'd say that much like me, it's in his blood, and he's probably got it tacked to a wall somewhere too!

I'm still wondering what I'm going to do on the 25th with no games....... Does anybody know why they split up 6aa and 2aa semifinal games at different locations? I know they've done it in the past but I never knew why. A money thing?

TooManyEagles · Post by **TooManyEagles** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:43 pm

Not lame at all, I carry my bracket everywhere during Sections.

Shoot, sorry about that. I was rushing to get 4A up before I went to bed last night and forgot Minnehaha. Sorry Red Hawks fans... no harm intended.

Also... I purposely left off the scores for this past Saturday's games in case someone wanted blank brackets for whatever reason. I'll update with the scores probably tonight.

Not sure where this person got their brackets, but 6AA plays on the 27th at Mariucci 6 PM and 2AA plays after them at 8 PM. At least that is what MSHSL site shows....

Lopresti · Post by **Lopresti** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:40 pm

I'm talking about the semi-finals. A 2aa and 6aa game at Braemar and a 2aa game and 6aa game at BIG on the 23rd.

Sorry man, they are still doing this. Look for AHA to play Edina at Big at 7pm Benilde vs EP at big at 3:30pm, Tonka vs Hopkins/Wayzata at Braemar at noon and Jefferson vs Burnsville at 4 at Braemar. That is if all plays out the way it should. Oh and look for me at BIG all day....

I understand that you've done this before, but I'm seeing my first one as I'm new to these boreds. Thank you Eagles93. I'm going to make myself a "hard" copy as some of the others have done. An amazing amount of time and research has gone into this.

Not in the least.....maybe that's why a few here have nicknamed them "boreds". This is where they come if they are.......

FYI - I'm updating on the fly tonight. (May have to refresh pages.)

woodley · Post by **woodley** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 8:07 am

Thanks for doing this.. . . . it makes it great to follow.

Not to say the seeders got it right, but up to now, there has only been one upset in the entire state from the quarters to the semis (Mayo over Century)!!! Amazing!

skiumah · Post by **skiumah** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 10:27 am

Nice work, Eagles93. This is a great resource.

Of all the games played so far, in A & AA, there's only one "upset". In 1A #5 Mayo beat #4 Century. Otherwise, all the upper seeds have won.

Eagles93 · Post by **Eagles93** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 12:34 pm

If you take into account play-in games....

St Michael
Rogers
Dodge Co
River Lakes
St Francis

They were all lower seeds that won.

ETA... Whoops - I missed that woodley did say quarters to semis.
