Funny that you wrote off Brainerd in this thread. Not that I would ever bet on the Warriors winning anything playoff-related, but it still would be a 218 rep at least.
Brainerd vs Duluth East

Re: Brainerd vs Duluth East
Spuds up 3-0 on the Hounds after two and doubling them up in shots. Looking like a long bus ride home to Duluth, both literally and figuratively.

Re: Brainerd vs Duluth East
Wow. Thanks for update. DE shouldn't even be ranked in top 10. Too much inconsistency and not getting the job done. Other teams may have slightly easier schedules but DE has lost some games that they should have one. IMHO section 8 is up for grabs with Andover as the favorite.

When did Andover move to section 8?

Will likely be able to watch Andover in the section final on TV while eating at Bulldog Pizza.Jeffy95 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:06 amI swear I've seen this movie before. Who is better equipped to come up with different recipes of Sorcery than the Mad Scientist Himself? He's got the white Lab Coat on right now. East will win 7AA again this year. If it's Andover in the final, then East will have to overcome the Metro advantage of those kids having two hours on the bus to mentally prepare. Those East kids are probably at Bulldog Pizza and not focused! But I still think they will pull it off.karl(east) wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 8:39 pmThe 2-3 was a reaction to a very shaky defense. That really isn't the issue this season. Some different form of sorcery will be necessary...or perhaps just a simpler unleashing of some Hounds.

Whoops. Typo. Section 7.

Go to Hastings, they are their own community, sure many work in the twin cities. But the same can be said of Northfield, Faribault, Owatonna, and Mankato. If you have an implement dealer in town selling combines you can stake a claim as an outstate town. When they left the SEC they should have came to the Big Nine, they have more in common with Rochester, Owatonna, and Northfield than they do with Hill Murray, St Thomas, and the rest of that conference.goldy313 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:46 amIs Hastings metro?

Looks like there will be a time when the AA tournament will be all Metro teams.

Re: Brainerd vs Duluth East
agree completely with the comment about Brainerd being very much in the mix in Section 8. I think we all also know enough to know that Duluth East will be right there in the end and that this weekend is very much likely just a learning opportunity.
Re: Brainerd vs Duluth East
Deast in all likely hood will be I &A finals (CEC if they get the 3 seed) could pull the upset.
But I cannot see anyone but Andover at the X
(barring injuries, illness and those kinds of things).
Brainerd is in the fight in 8 but beating Moorhead/Roseau back to back will be a tall order.
