Class A Championship #1 St. Thomas vs. #2 Marshall of Duluth

[deacon]

nice season.....now step it up to 2A and stop trophy hunting

they can't move up next year because of section alignments are two agreements or something. i think they move up, just like BSM did after winning 2 class A titles.

[MARSHALLS]

Why Marshall School of Duluth (instead of Duluth Marshall). Most likely for the school to disassociate itself with the 3 public schools.

Anyway, congrats to STA.

I really think STA has the most classless fans in the whole state tournament and are a total embarassment to our armed services. They should lose those those uniforms if they are going to act as terrible as they continue to act year after year. Their players are also BY FAR the most cocky and arrogant I have seen. Granted, If you continue to put a good team on the state like STA, but DM, Warroad and other great teams are not arrogant like they are. Theywere totally rubbing it in to DM.

Also, I think with a 1000+ enrollment, it is time for STA to make the move to AA. Will they? No. As for DM, they have the smallest enrollment in the tournament, and have no reason to make the jump, nor will they.

I wouldn't say STA owned. DM really put the pressure on in the 2nd and part of the 3rd. If DM doesn't give up those quick goals, I think they win the game. The shots were essentially even. I think the STA D won the game in the end. They held Marshall and Dano to the outside. Had they have not been as good as they were, DM would have got by Alrichter. Alrichter is good.....for a sophomore. He comes way out and is as good as he is because he is surronded by a good STA team in front of him.

Anyway, great for STA but you guys really have to learn some class. Really a terrible thing for a private school which should exhibit a sense of class and respect.

i wasn't there but i watched the entire game, and DM was dominated pretty much the whole game.

as far as the students go- again, i wasn't there but i graduated from STA so i know a little bit about the STA psyche. don't look at these like they are excuses, because they are not. STA students are not arrogant, they are confident and sometimes that extreme confidence looks like arrogance. if you had to deal with all the crap that the students do such as all the gay jokes, all boys, and all that stuff, when you win you want to enjoy it. maybe they don't always act with the most class after winning the state championship twice in 3 years, but i don't think most would.

as far as the military goes- (form www.cadets.com)
"Saint Thomas Academy represents one of the largest and most respected JROTC military programs in the country. It remains a unique and cooperative effort on the part of the United States Army and the Archdiocese of St. Paul to provide high school men the opportunity for total development. STA has earned the coveted “Honor Unit with Distinction” since 1983 from the United States Army."

-Lt. Colonel DePuglio

the honor unit with distinction, i believe, is awarded to the top 10% in the country.

sounds like someone is a sore loser.

edit: there are only 550 guys in grades 9-12

also, since you guys beat us 8-2 in the regular season, beating you guys in the championship game was even more sweet.

In the program, it says 1082. That may include the girls school, but if DM just counts boys, then they are down to less then 200.

I never said STA was a bad school. I said that they have in these last 4 years showed no respect for the opponents, from the fans to the players. I mean your players were going on their knees and screaming loud in front of the SCC bench (just to rub it in) when the score was 8-2 and STA would score. I mean come on, show some respect. Their is no reason to be thrusting their jerseys when the game is clearly over. Same for the DM game today.I am not the only one that sees this. If you guys would crawl out of your hole and look around, their are MANY people that hate STA. There are also many people that hate DM. But don't tell me it is only the DM people that sees this lack of respect. I am suprised the administration at STA hasn't gotten involved with your guys terrible representation of the school. I am sure it is a great school, but a lot of the hockey world can't think so when they see the image you guys present yourselves with.

Also, I wouldn't call me a sore loser. I congratulated you guys. You continue to put a good team on the ice year in and out. It is the lack of class that gives me little respect to your program and school.

[MARSHALLS]

also, since you guys beat us 8-2 in the regular season, beating you guys in the championship game was even more sweet.

classic example of the STA blatant arrogance. How many DM fans came on here last year in rubbed it when DM won 3-2 in ot in the semifinals? How many rubbed it in when DM won 8-2? Trust me, if you guys beat DM 8-2, the whole forum would have heard about it. Of course, i am sure your players were complete sore losers when DM won 8-2.

I guess the bright side is that at least you guys weren't throwing hot dogs at the DM players like the Benilde fans were earlier in the season . This kind of stuff is hard to watch as a fan, and must be more painful as a player.

im well aware of this. they double the enrollment in order to account for no girls going to the school. and about the celebration, c'mon. they're just having fun. when everyone hates you, the celebrations are going to be bigger, again, they are just having fun. i don't think there is any ill-intent behind any of it.

how is that arrogance? they had lost to DM this year and in the state tournament the year before. avenging 2 losses to a very good team and being happy about it is not arrogance. and i don't know about the fans on this board, i don't know who everyone supports but i'm sure at some point a DM fan rubbed it in somewhere. quit trying to act like you guys (DM) are saints and set the precedent for class.

[ColdasIce]

anyone know why they call it "marshall school of duluth"? The school is called Marshall School, also sometimes goes by Duluth Marshall. You may say that's picking hairs, but that'd be like calling STA Academy of St Thomas, etc, etc. It's been bugging me the last couple days.

Because they keep confusing it with a school named Marshall somewhere else in the state so this year they decided to say "of Duluth"

WOW what a baby! I was at the game sitting pretty close to the STA students. I really don't know what you are talking about. Look at the Star & Trib they voted STA students the best for both classes. But the Trib is wrong too, ha.

I didn't get this either. I thought the STA kids just acted like fans supporting their team.

[Reggie]

Time for DM to move up 2 7AA, so we can give back Anoka!

[topshelf10]

I like the STA student section. They seem to enjoy themselves and energize the place. They are always having fun which makes it fun to go to the games.
I think people think they are arrogant because they wear their uniforms to the games and win most of the time.

[dangles07]

Obviously STA should move up to class AA sometime in the future, but it is only possible when the new sections form, which will not be next year. The administration has struggled with this because since as long as it can be remembered STA teams have been forced to play where their enrollment places them, and are not allowed to move up because it would show favoritism to this particular program. This favoritism is something they really want to avoid, but mostly likely will be unavoidable looking at what happened it recent years. As for the fans-- All they do is make noise and have fun, which is what student fans should be all about. They make it fun for themselves. This classless, arrogant behavior that is being spoken of confuses me. It seems as, for the most part, all STA students do is chant, play with a beach ball, and start some sweet waves. The classless part of this is hard to find. They put up with a lot of crap from others being an all boys military school, and when they win they're gonna get excited. If you don't want to see a bunch of 15-18 year olds act like 15-18 years olds, please don't come to this game. It often seems like many of the posters on here act like its for adults, when it is not at all. It is for the students and the players.

[ap4mvp]

Its to bad that the toughest challenge that STA had was against Little Falls in the quarterfinals. Time to seed every team

[behonestbenice]

WOW CLASSLESS???? Get the blinders off and buy a hearing aid. Every chant from our stuedent body was clean. The closest they came to anything was when they chanted 0-3 0-3 0-3 0-3 can I say it again0-3.
But thats nothing.

I was at every single game at thX for both classes.
Many of the other schools both private and public were rude, obscene and vulgar.

Spell S-E-X
Put it in Put it in then the responsds thats what she said
After the Benilde game their fans had no problem telling a 11-12 year old or so that lean over the secind level and yelled EDINA. @ Benilde students yelled right in front of other young kids adults school officials SHUT thE F*** up. Guess what the others students broke up laughing as did many parents.

There were many more chants that were on called for.

Oh they body surfed a guy in uniform 1 time. Thats better than all the girls I saw wearing lude costumes and saying on thier shirts.

Get a grip if any of our cadets would have any of those chants. They not only would be gone by school officals from the game they would recieve demrits and loss of grades in leadership classes.

So everyone knows the school doesn't require them to wear the uniforms the sport that goes to state the players on that team get to decide for the student body.

As on the ice celebrations thats hockey and its STATE and every goal is huge in exciting for a teenager on that stage.

Now Ben H from LF that was rubbing it in the face alittle bit with his salute to the STA students. But it was clean and good natured.

I agree with Deacon its confidence and cockiness.

Also not sure how old you are but until the last 4 years STA barely won 5-10 games a year and many were blow outs.

Let it go. STA students and the Visitation students are 1st class. They are also human and will make mistakes but overall no way they are the worst or even close after what I heard being yelled and said throughout the tournament.

[deacon]

when i went there (grad 2003, was there for grades 7-12) whenever we went to state, whether it be hockey, basketball, football, or even swimming, if we were there we had to be in Class "A" uniform, which is what they were wearing at the tournament. if for some reason we weren't in uniform we would get in some kind of trouble if i recall correctly.

Just wondering, areyou on the STA team or do you just like to use words such as "us" and "we"? And another thing "there are only 550 guys in grades 9-12" Marshall doesn't have that many people in the entire school 5-12. Let alone guys.

It doesn't really even matter how big the enrollment is anyway. If you recruit a bunch of good hockey players around the state and put them in a school that doesn't have many kids you really won't have a hard time making the state tournament and beating teams that have a bunch of local kids that have been playing since squirts and mites together.

"Saint Thomas Academy represents one of the largest and most respected JROTC military programs in the country. It remains a unique and cooperative effort on the part of the United States Army and the Archdiocese of St. Paul to provide high school men the opportunity for total development. STA has earned the coveted “Honor Unit with Distinction” since 1983 from the United States Army."

-Lt. Colonel DePuglio

the honor unit with distinction, i believe, is awarded to the top 10% in the country.

sounds like someone is a sore loser.

edit: there are only 550 guys in grades 9-12

Just wondering, areyou on the STA team or do you just like to use words such as "us" and "we"? And another thing "there are only 550 guys in grades 9-12" Marshall doesn't have that many people in the entire school 5-12. Let alone guys.

I am an alumnus of the Academy, and yes, i do like to use the words "us" and "we."

And about the enrollment, it doesn't matter at all if you are private. i'm sorry, you can't play the enrollment card like the public schools.
