rapidsrapids, I think it may be time to change your tagline...I'm afraid David Brown has eclipsed Patrick White in his popularity among East fans.
And as for the actual thread topic, I think it will be a bit of both for Rapids. It'll take a little while for them to regroup and find some people to provide the scoring, but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them in the 7AA final. They're not at a level where we can consider them a contender at the state level yet, though. It'll be an interesting season to watch, and the annual East game should be an excellent gauge of where they are.

Would have to guess either Nov 22 or 29. Seems like a very late start this year. Practice starting on Nov 17, IRC Jamboree is Nov 25. Hope the boys are ready to roll right away.pioneers wrote:What is the date of this year's annual H-M vs Grand Rapids scrimmage?

Rebuild
Just based on what East has returning one would have to say they are cream of the crop in 7AA. Leaning towards a rebuilding season for Grand Rapids. Too hard to speculate what can come out of the season with a small pool of seniors and juniors. Bright spots should come from a couple junior defensemen stepping in on the blueline and maybe some surprise role players out of the sophomore group. If that occurs it could very well be an interesting season. What is most enjoyable about this time of year is all teams get to start a clean slate should be a fun season to take in once again.

You know what I mean. I like what i'm hearing about the rapids goalie. Any good frontline players to watch?Indians forever wrote:I would say the other way around.

From the way it sounded last year the biggest threat to East is the referees from the section semifinal against Cloquet. I never knew Greyhounds could cry before I heard all of that whining.
