Bantams to High School

Post by Brodziak Fan Club »

A thread for discussing feeder teams and how they will affect the high school scene. I’m intrigued by the top 10 BAA SLP/Coon Rapids team. Will most of those players end up playing for the high school co-op? Would be awesome to see them continue their success.

The only place I can see a kid going to outside of SLP would be Totino Grace but I can't imagine outside 1-2 kids leaving for a private. Would Blaine get a few? I've seen crazier things.

Not taking anything away from them on a great season but based on a few games I have seen this team had to have drawn 2x more penalties per game vs. their opponents which is huge. They have some big kids and their game is to basically fire off as many shots as possible.

One head scratcher is PL. They seem to churn out great Bantam (AA, B1) and Peewee teams but it never seems to translate at the HS level. Take away that crazy run when Bump blew on the scene and they haven't done much. Do they tend to lose a lot of kids to privates? Outside of Ruprecht I can't think of any recently.

Sounds like an indictment of their high school staff?
