Although STA is the better team in my opinion, Mahtomedi always seems to show up to play in the playoffs. Predictions?

I hope this is the year for us STA homers to finally get one. I for one am really looking forward to the Tuesday section semi-final. Hopefully the STA luck will change against our two time nemesis...

6-2 STA, that is unless Ben Marshall sneaks on a jersey.

Does it matter either way money wins, Go high school league. your sections and class designations are so confussing. Who is running that nut house? You do see at the top the poll shows Mahtomedi has a record of 12 wins and 12 losses.

The big difference this year, that seems to be overlooked by many is that two years ago these two ended the season tying with the first meeting being an 8-5 St Thomas win and last year the teams split both losing their home game by the same score.

In neither season was Mahtomedi a huge underdog, if one at all depending on how you look at things. This year the scores were 6-1 and 5-1. While it would make for a great story, it's not too realistic.

Although Mahtomedi has a .500 record, they are still somewhat a threat. Maybe not as much as St. Thomas, but still they will sneak up on you. They had one of the harder schedules in state this year so I don't think we should say Mahtomedi has no chance becuase of their record. Still would be a big upset if they can somehow be oppurtunists and have Marshall playing on his head. The Zephyrs also need to have their top junior players May and Jordan to get some points on the board. But I still see STA winning this one.

Mahtomedi beat a fairly good Chisago Lakes team. The will come into the game on Tuesday having some good confidence and momentum. If they can somehow get on the board early, they may put up a threat.

STA will have to come out flying and put in a couple right away to put the Zephyrs on their heels.

Will be a good game.

STA 5 - 3 is my prediction.

You obviously have no idea about section 4a because you can almost ask anyone and forsure 2 years ago mahtomedi pulled off an UPSET. there is no question about that one even though they tied the last game. Last year would be the only one that could be up for debate. But with all the D1 prospects and talent STA had i would say STA was definitly the favorite

No one denied that...

Let's fast forward now to the present!

STA won, as expected.

With a simple google search, every definition I found has a "heavily favored" team losing, the underdog winning, etc, etc.

A #3 seed beating a #1 seed is not that, especially not one they just tied.
A #2 seed beating a #1 seed is not that, especially not one they just beat.

Oh well, at least Mahtomedi kept it close tonight
