The Red is heading to the alter for communion as they budge ahead of the Skippers in OT.

Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways, doesnt He.

Who would have given our little Catholic heros a chance after being down 2-0 after 2 to the huge, behemouth , pagan , rich, lake front dwellers from Tonka.

Nothin to it. It was In His Hands the whole time.

BSM 3 Tonka 2 in OT.

All hail Red Knights and welcome to your right full place in the Holy City.

You didnt hear this from me, but it is unfortunate that Minnetonka isnt in the tournament. Really good HS hockey team. Both BSM and Tonka should be in it but the MSHSL works in mysterious ways too.

But since thats the way it is, we are glad the Red Knights have completed the jouney From Constantinople to St Paul. In their 3rd year of opting up they make it to the real deal. Should be an inspiration to many other programs also referred to as BSqauders

It wasnt easy for the Red Knights as shown here:

But what worth while is? are you listening STA?

Now we must get our remaining team, the HM Pioneers from the Coliseum to the great arena in the downtown of the Holy City.

Go Red Pios.

Methinks that the Red Knights will end up much like the Black Knight when they get to St. Paul (see below), but despite the fact they're much better than the rest of us, it's always nice to see a club have the grapes to OPT UP (I'm lookin' right at you, STA). Congrats to Benilde.

I took the liberty of editing your photo. Let's not forget the great victories last night by our brothers from St. Cloud Cathedral and Duluth (Cathedral) Marshall. Looking forward to Rochester Lourdes, Hill-Murray and St. Thomas Academy also slaying the pagans.

Are you saying that BSM are bunch of horses' asses? I refuse to believe that!

It's good to see that morale is up in some places today.

Well stpaul, thank you for your fine edit. I dont know how to do that

And thank you for confirming the great success of the Catholic schools every where.

You know Govs, we dont hold any grudges against the pagans. Even though they have chosen to stucture their schools in a way that is different than what we consider the norm, its OK with the Faithful.

You are still invited to Stations of the Cross on Friday.

But the Red Knights will be one of the favorites once the field is finalized.

They have not played a great schedule but have some quality wins to prove they can take it all home.

We started in Constantinople where we were freed by Constantine from centuries of persecution.

We now arrive in St Paul. Some "fall aways" might say "What'd I tell yah" but I say "Thy will be done".

At Mariucci last night, anyone notice the Burnsville student section having a group prayer before the game and just prior to the start of OT?

After seeing that, I've concluded one of the following 3 things:

A) God's a Hornet fan
B) God's NOT a Blaze fan
C) God doesn't care who wins MN high school hockey.

I found it funny how a lot of people never gave respect to Benilde all year and said Tonka would win that game no question. The first game they had was close, so I knew this one had potential to go either way. I honestly was not impressed with Minnetonka from what I saw from them this year. They were a solid team no doubt, but nothing really stood out to me last night I guess. Basically, the hype ruined them for me when they didnt live up to it I think. Like someone stated in another thread, they only played 2 periods and in high school hockey, that won't cut it, especially against a team like Benilde in the section finals. I wish the Red Knights all the best next week. Now if only the Pioneers can slay a Bear on the way to St. Paul...

Amen Since95, amen. Thats been going on Sinceforever

But here we free to extole the virtues of our Catholic teams as no one else will. The Edict allows this.

As for you Doc Holiday, even though all prayers are heard, not all are answered. Its all In His Hands. Plug that into your conclusions.

Cathoilcs in Lent March From Constantinople to St Paul.

On earth as it is in Heaven.

True, it is all in HIS hands.....but that still doesn't mean he cares who wins & loses!

Not exactly sure why picking Minnetonka would be "funny". All year long, they beat some of the best AA teams in the state - Edina, Centennial, Hopkins, etc. Obviously BSM won their fair share of games, but a vast majority were Class A and many that weren't that great. As PB will tell you, Class A shouldn't count!

Not knocking them for their win, but I don't know that picking Tonka was a dumb pick by any means.

Agreed Govs. Nobody is sayng that Tonka doesnt deserve to go to state too but very few on the bored except a couple of us picked BSM to win.

Tonka was a good choice as was BSM. Ive seen BSM play and they are good.

Another cat-licker with improper history lessons.

If you hear anything elliott it will be the sound of the Catholics Marching into St Paul to the final destination at the great arena after their win tonight in the great Coliseum of Lee and Rose, 2 devout Catholics.

Its inevitable. The Italian Catholic arena was good to BSM and now the great Coliseum will propel the Pioneers who will join them at the X.

As far as what you are hearing elloitt, check this out and get some guidance:

I have been told that it is helpful and an easy read for people hearing voices.

The voice of God tells me to be kind to the 'catholics', as they will find no joy in the season of Lent. He continues by directing me, His son, to buy PB a fine Scottish brew, as he will need something to erase the tears that will surely fall.

So that means I can't call ya'll catlickers anymore and I have to spring for more than a can of Hamms.

If it were a glass of water, it would still be my pleasure.

The road From Constantinople to St Paul runs right past the Liffey.

Ahh, but I have a feeling a couple of old posters will not run past.

A few more the merrier, come on in Neut, we will be just to the right of the bar as you first enter. Cluttered around the first little kiosk.

Packerboy,

I am beginning to wonder if the Catholics are having some influence on Roseau's success. I remember being a kid in Roseau and going to the creamery with my Grandpa to drop of the milk cans. More than once I heard the "men" talking and trying to figure out what to do with all the Catholics who were moving to town. And to make matters worse......God forbid.....the Catholics wanted to build their own church. There was probably even a discussion about building a Catholic school!

It is interesting to look back only 50 years and to think about how ridiculous the whole conversation really was. I guess a few families just took a detour on the road from Constantinople.

I am enjoying your saga!
