From what I saw: Marshall has one solid D(13), the refs weren't watching the same game I was, and Campion prevented it from being a much worse score. Marshall is looking like the LEAST physical team in the state, they don't touch anyone until they realize there's 30 seconds left in the game.

Yeah, I note that also; the Marshall players seemed a bit lackadaisical, skating slowly towards the puck, taking their time whereas Hutch was certainly a lot more aggressive -too aggressive what with their clutch-and-interference style that the refs mostly let go.

Luverne currently putting it ON Litch in Litch. First period shots were 23-0 in favor of luverne. Current score 3-0. Cant say enough about Braeden Wahl, without him who knows how out of hand this would be.

7-2 final in Litchfield.
3AHockeydoubts prediction of a bus ride being so overwhelming for the cards was clearly on point like the rest of his conjecture. Luverne jumped out and absolutely overwhelmed the dragons with a 23-0 shot advantage in the first period. Luverne rolled thru the final two periods for a solid road win in 3A.

Luverne "looking strong" to start the season. Am I right?

Scout I hope you like eating Crow because you're going to be doing a lot of that if you don't start picking Luverne in these games. As they dominated Litch 7-2.

It will be interesting to see if Luverne cracks HShockeywatchers top 10-15, I'm not so sure they will but given this weeks results across class A it will be tough to overlook the Cardinals.

And the best part will be the crow 3A scout needs to eat.....

wooshlager · Post by **wooshlager** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:10 am

No sign of him on here tonight? Weird....

fastncrash · Post by **fastncrash** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:21 am

The "3A Trout" has been spotted in a few other streams lately.... Not many people respond to him but how serious can anyone take a person who has self-proclaimed himself as the official Trout of a section that's 10 steps behind Lord Setterholms Class AA group?

fastncrash · Post by **fastncrash** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:12 pm

Hey, can someone swing by Trouts house in Hutch and make sure he's ok? I'm worried about him.

I was looking at the other thread of Class A rankings, and Luverne is on the HShockeywatcher's list of "teams to watch." Not quite to the top 10-15 though, I think they have a little ways to go before they get there, it's early.

Section 3A HockeyScout · Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:38 pm

Greetings Section 3A Followers,
Crazy week in 3A lots of surprising scores.

Section 3A Rankings (As of Dec. 8th, 2013)
1. Hutchinson (2-0-0)
2. Willmar (3-0-0)
3. Luverne (4-0-0)
4. New Ulm Area (1-2-0)
5. LDC (3-2-0)
6. Marshall (1-3-0)
7. Windom (3-2-0)
8. Morris Benson (0-3-0)
9. Worthington (1-4-0)
10. Fairmont (0-2-0)
11. Redwood Valley (0-3-0)

Hutch had a solid game yesterday. Cowger and Adams are dominate players I dunno what defensive unit in Section 3A will be strong enough to stop them. For still having football legs the Tigers look like the leader of the pack so far.

Willmar off to a great start the win over a Solid Fergus Falls program tells how dangerous this team can be. I really think if its not Hutch or New Ulm Willmar will be the one heading to St Paul

Luverne good week for the cards went on the road and did some serious damage to some other 3A teams. They can score that has been shown. Did not see them outshooting LDC 58-10 wow the Dragons must be really down this year.

New Ulm Area- Puzzling loss to St. Peter???? Because New Ulm and Luverne don’t play eachother (WHY IS THAT?!?!?!?) you have to use common opponents and right now Luverne’s 6-1 win over St Peter has them ahead of New Ulm Area because why they don’t play again??? Almost a must win for the Eagles on Tuesday in Hutch.

LDC- I think they are the best of the rest. They destroyed Windom and Morris but were easily defeated by Luverne on their home ice? Dragons must be down this year. Still have Wahl and that makes them dangerous.

Marshall- Long week for the Tigers first laid an egg at home vs Luverne. Then played more up to their level on Thursday and Saturday but still were beaten twice. Right now with Campion they will be in ever game but they will need to find some go to players who can score to crack the top 5.

Windom- Seems to be stuck in the middle they were hammered by LDC and Hutch but then have beaten Worthington, Redwood and Morris. They have a big one on Tuesday if they can knock off Marshall they can move up or they are pretyy much stuck at the 7 Seed.

Morris Benson, Redwood Valley, Worthington & Fairmont… All will battle eachother for the bottom four seeds. Morris Benson is the bets of the rest but they will still need to get a lot better to truly contend.

Games of the Week
New Ulm Area vs. Hutch
Must win for the Eagles early in the year. Should be a great game. Two of the top programs in 3A

Windom vs. Marshall
Marshall needs this one bad and Windom will be looking to stay unbeaten in the SWC.

Call me crazy, but I do not think Hutchinson or New Ulm will be going to St. Paul this year, even though it's early.

They dont play because Lord Setterholm thinks its ten steps backwards to play the clowns in Luverne. Which, has served him very well in the past. The coward realizes it cant be proven Luverne is better if he simply avoids them.

Luverne would love to get New Ulm on the Schedule. But its out of Luverne's hands.

If Setterholm is really avoiding Luverne shame on him..... New Ulm vs Luverne is a game that needs to be played for the purpose of seedings.

Also, big game in Hutch this week Zach Allen will need to be sharp in the nets for Hutch! Iranger33 I like your son's team so far I hope they are ready to roll vs. New Ulm! Should be a fun one! All of 3A's eyes will be on that game in Hutch

You are actually right on this one. Sorry I shouldn't have tried to be funny.

Hey 3AHockeyTrout.... I just took a look at the younger levels of your favorite association... and the future looks like pretty good there too...

Bantam A's:

Update: Luverne Bantam A's beat Litch 7-1 yesterday.

PeeWee A's:

PLUS, they do play B Level Hockey at a lot of levels too. Sorta looks like the pipe is full, doesn't it?

wooshlager · Post by **wooshlager** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:04 pm

Hey 3A section hockey goof,

still wont eat any crow eh?

Marshall lays an egg vs Luvurne?

You pick LDC against Luvurne and they get crushed so you say they must be down this year?

Hutch is the greatest gift since sliced bread...

Give me a break

Section 3A HockeyScout · Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:22 am

Marshall did lay an egg... The Marshall coach is quoted as saying they didnt play with the effort and energy they did int he other two games vs. New Ulm and Hutch.

LDC is a really down. I expect that Willmar and New Ulm and for sure Hutch will do the same to the Dragons.

Luverne is better then I have given them credit. They have nice front end talent. Smedsrud, Norman and the 8th Grader are as talented forwards as you will find in the state and Sengvongxay on D and Meyer in the net are as talented at their positions as anyone in the state.

However, Hutch is clearly the BEST team with the most DEPTH at this time. I just dont see anyone being able to shut down the Cowger, Adams line. They play a tougher schedule all year that has them fully prepared come playoffs.

The sleeper is Willmar GREAT coach and alot of seniors. If someone can knock off Hutch I think it is them..... Also I think New Ulm Area is strong as well but Coach Setterholm's paper comments and his avoiding teams like Luverne leave me with a sour taste on that program.

fastncrash · Post by **fastncrash** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 9:45 am

Well 3AHockeyTrout, it looks like Luverne Hosts Minnehaha Friday evening, and then Minnehaha goes to New Ulm on Sat. New Ulm's going to get the advantage of (AA enrollment) AND playing what's left of Minnehaha after Friday nights game, but it should be a good indicator of who has strength, wouldn't you say?

Strike that question... can't believe I even asked it.

Wow, there are a lot of defensive Luverne fans on this board. As an ex-3A player, I appreciate the updates that 3A Scout gives here. I live in New York, so I don't have the chance to watch 3A teams until, potentially, the state tournament, so it's great to get insight about a section which isn't really covered elsewhere.
I get that some feel that 3A Scout isn't giving Luverne the "love", but can't the "crow" and hate at least wait until the end of the year? Some of you will look fairly foolish should Luverne underperform in Sections like they did last year. In fact, I don't recall 3A Scout rubbing it in when Luverne didn't make it at the end of last season; which, in light of how 3A Scout is treated on here, makes him (I'm assuming 3A Scout is a him) the bigger person.
By the way, I sincerely hope a SW Conference team makes it to the big dance again this year. Here's to hoping for hockey growth in that great region of the state.

Well if your serious about getting information, wouldn't you also be serious about getting information that's somewhat accurate? Trouts proven over and over again that his "Understanding" of Hockey is questionable at best. BUT opinions are entitled in the good ole USA, so be it. However, if you believe anyone here has initiated the picking on HIM, you need to spend a minute or two and do a little research, as he's brought it upon himself, 100 times over. No problem, it's somewhat fun and entertains a few. Forget about the references to Luverne, if his other "Updates" were a little more Unbiased, there may be some merit, but as stated, they are not and nothing more than his personal opinion and nothing more.
