They should play the 6AA semis and championship at marucci over a weekend and just have the section winner play edina for the whole thing on Saturday night.

They never produce a legit team that you actually think could win it all, and 6AA has been producing at least 3-4 good teams for years now.

Moving one of either Tonka, EP, or Wayzata to 2AA and either one of Prior Lake, Burnsville, Jefferson, Eastview, etc to 1AA wouldn't mess things up geographically. They're in the same conferences to begin with!
Wow some real groundbreaking material here. ISD194 is still doing better than 5AA in recent memory
Fixed that for you.

Touche.

Since the announcements came out last spring Winona went from 1AA to 1A, Minneapolis went from 6AA to 2A, New Ulm went from 2AA to 3A, and LeSeuer went from 2AA to 1A.

Interestingly 2AA now only has 7 teams, while 3AA has 10.

Outstate sections continue to shrink, in 1AA Century opted up and Dodge County is a co-op, 7AA has Grand Rapids and Cloquet opting up, 8AA has Roseau and Bemidji opting up while 3 other programs are co-ops leaving only John Marshall, Mayo, Owatonna, Moorhead, Tech, Brainerd, and East as true AA schools

New Ulm was never in 2AA. They were in 3A, with their co-op were forced to opt up, dropped part of the co-op where they got no athletes from and are back in 3A.

Wrong New Ulm was in 2AA when the sections came out. New Ulm is drawing from 6 schools (New Ulm, New Ulm Cathedral, MVL, Sleepy Eye, Sleepy Eye St Mary's and Springfield).

They are literally TWICE the size of any other school in 3A. They dropped MVL and Springfield to squeeze in just under the AA limit.

They were in AA until they did this with the likes of Edina and Burnsville that would of been ugly.

Hmmm....if it's "last hired, first fired," then the obvious solution is to equalize by moving STA to 2AA, right?

Yeah, no ulterior motives here, are there?

So if in a book means it is true, personally have never had a kid go to a private school but it had opportunity would rather send kid to private vs public.

next thing someone will say
if on the internet it is true

So you're suggesting we should punt on the efforts of a professor and supporting research/data in favor of your 'never had a kid go to private school', well-articulated opinion ironically found on that same internet-thingy.

Ummm....ok.

You are right (I mean left) you should always believe the opinion of one author who took the time to write a book on his view of a subject...I feel so dumb. I guess that's because I went to private schools...

Can we just sticky this? I'd say it deserves its own place in forum history.
