Alot of opinions on who's the boss in the state this year but here is one amateur guess at the state seedings/pairings.

1. LNorth
2. Edina
3. Elk River
4. Wayzata (whoever come from this section is at least 4 or 3)
5. STA
Bemidji
Blaine
White Bear or Stillwater (I just don't think Hill is going)

LNorth
White Bear

Wayzata
STA

Elk River
Blaine

Edina
Bemidji

Afternoon Session
2. Edina vs Cretin Durham Hall
3. Wayzata vs Grand Rapids

Evening Session

4. White Bear Lake vs 5. Blaine

I think if STA keeps doing what they're doing, they'll be the #3. The Section 6 winner will get the 4 & Elk River the 5. (*Of course this is assuming no upsets, which there will probably be at least 1 of the top 5 that bows out. History says so: '14 HM, '13 BSM & Eagan, '12 Tonka, '11 HM).

1. Lakeville North
2. Edina
3. St. Thomas Academy
4. Section 6 Winner
5. Elk River

Hill-Murray/White Bear Lake
Blaine/Centennial/Maple Grove
Bemidji/Roseau/Moorhead

An Edina-STA semifinal match would be epic in the fact that it would make the fan hatred of having to watch an Edina-Hill Murray game look like the sportsmanship game of the year. So much anger directed at high school kids by 17,000 people; I can't resist it!

Havent attempted to follow thru to X seedings and game pairings, largely because two sections for sure are wide open, and momentum in the next month will have a lot to do with who in those sections gets thru the playoffs. But anyway......

Section 1: LV North
Section 2: Edina
Section 3: St Thomas
Section 4: Hill Murray
Section 5 Wide Open: Blaine, Centennial, Maple Grove,Anoka
Section 6 Wide Open: BSM, Wayz, EP, (Mtka darkhorse)
Section 7 Elk River
Section 8 Bemidji (Elliott has convinced me)

I guess if pushed right now, I would say Blaine and BSM, but not a very high level of confidence probability in either guess.

So how would those eight flow thru to seedings and game pairings?

So true haha.

And ya, I can't see STAA not getting at least the #3 seed even if they drop one to HM. I think STAA needs 4+ losses to seriously be dropped to a 4 seed, and that would probably require ER winning out. A 2-3 loss Cadet team with wins over Wayzata, BSM, Tonka (twice) and HM would definitely be worthy of no lower than a 3.

I don't use our tickets if the championship is two of Edina/BSM/Hill and now STA. If the semis have three of those, I doubt I'll go either. Hoping for some underdogs!

What does the second A stand for in STAA? Is that just a joke about them being in AA now?
