I could see Little Falls getting the 3rd seed based on record. Mahtomedi is .500 on the season. But otherwise I think it will play out as predicted.

I am just going by page stat and hen how I think coaches will vote.

But others feel free to predict away.....

I put this in the Class A Thread but moving it here. great topic Elliott!

One thing I will be curious on is the race for the 3, 4 and 5 seeds at State. If Little Falls loses the 2nd time up in Alex which the way both are playing seems likely. The Flyers wont get seeded at State and they may only have like 3 losses but they would be to Fergus and Alex the 2nd time. Delano still has a game with Mahtomedi left to cause a jumble there and if Minneapolis or even like a Orono Providence get in from 2A where do they fall.

The Seeded vs Un-seeded are so critical to avoid a Quarterfinal with the Hawks, Warrior or Dardis...

Last year even though Dodge County and Nothern Lakes BOTH beat Little Falls the Flyers were still awarded the 5 seed ahead of them. The coaches vote is always a mystery but usually it falls in line with.... Yep the awesome LPH Poll...

Be interesting to see play out. We are all assuming a Chalk Sectional which never happens. But if we get the top seeds from each Sectional we could end up with TWO good games instead the normal one on Wednesday and an interesting Semi between Dardis and the Warriors and what we hope would be a rematch of last weeks awesome Match-up in the Championship.
