Edina’s 4-1 loss to Wayzata last night likely makes Rogers the number 1 seed in 6AA. The section has 4 of the top 14 in the state according to PageStat, and that doesn’t factor in positive results for the Trojans and Holy Angels this week.

And that's with a down year for Benilde. Very dumb putting Rogers in that section.

I think Rogers was the 1 seed regardless of how the Edina v Wayzata game last night went. Rogers just handled the #1 and #2 teams in the state within the last week, and common opponents had better numbers than Edina did.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I am curious where that puts Wayzata. Are they the 3 or 4 seed?

Probably 4. They lost twice to Rogers, 1-1 against Edina, 0-1 against AHA, tied BSM

Agreed. A better word choice would’ve been “solidified.”

Ah, so Edina will be in the road greens when they hoist the 6AA hardware.

Good to know.

Interested to see what 2AA looks like after Minnetonka and Shakopee, 3 through 7. I think the rest of AA seeding after that is straightforward.

Somewhat interesting that STMA got the 2-seed in 8AA over Elk River, given the Elks head to head victory. The Knights seem to be getting respect for their wins over Rogers and Edina. Since the victory over the Hornets, which was now over a month ago, STMA is 1-11.

That's mildly interesting. But don't forget that there's really no difference between being seeded 2 or 3 the vast majority of the time.
