Well Stitch Lips , I am honored but with out team emoticon and Coach slappy, none of this would be possible<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Remember the name on the back of the jersey.....er the front of the number.....er ah, the bottle of peroxide...ah , well anyway it was a team effort. Maybe some day there will be no need for more Crusades. But a lot people and the press seem to prefer to polarize us. The headline in the Pioneer Press Sports page on Sunday Morning was "Private Party". How stupid. They must spend too much time reading this forum. Why not "Raiders and Cadets Win"?? Here are 2 old line traditional St Paul schools who win the Hockey championships for the first time ever and in the same year. Does the home town paper embrace this and go with it? Nope. "Private Party" Like these schools are outsiders. Pathetic. But this is the attitude that we will continue to Crusade against. At some point in time it better dawn on the phobics that Catholic schools arent going away any time soon. It should be obvious that they enhance the competitive experienxce of all high school athletes. Until such time, The Crusaders resolve is great and their armies strong.

Yeah ... it turns out Slappy inspired Mr. Gilbert to write a feature story on the Independant State Hockey Tournaments of yore in this years' tournament program. Slappy scored a few goals on ole Billy Lechner when he played goalie for Cretin. Sounds like Lechner couldn't handle Slappy's pressure back then and in this years' tournament when his team fell victim to the Thunderhawks. They shoulda listened. Like He said. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]">

Here is to the Private Schools winning five more in next 61 years as they have in the last 61 years!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Stitch Lips · Post by **Stitch Lips** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:05 pm

Sorry to burst your bubble BIAFP, but the 'private schools' won the State Championship 40 times since 1945. Ya gotta quit relying on those bank records.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

Ahhhh, AA -5 Single a isn't ship!

packerboy · Post by **packerboy** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:17 pm

Its actually 5 for the last 30 or so, which wouldnt mean much. But back to back and 3 out of the last 5 might go against the grain of many a fine phobic herein.

Stitch Lips · Post by **Stitch Lips** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:18 pm

Even if those five are eliminated ... that still makes 35 in the last 61 years. From 1945 to 1974 ... they won every single (30 of them) Independant State Championship!! Plus the 5 "big show" ones you refer to. Pretty good accomplishment considering that the hockey elite considers the Independant Champions were Superior to the Public School Champion back then. I've got the proof sitting right in my office. As a matter of fact ... I'm looking at two undefeated trophies as I type this ... Roseau wins State Championship with a record of 23-4 in 1946; two of the four losses were at the hands of Crookston Cathedral. In the 1967 State 'Public' Tournament ... Greenway wins the championship behind the performance of Mike Antonovich, with Hibbing having the second best team in the public tournament and Duluth Cathedral, which snapped the International Falls streak of 58 straight victories (sans Grand Forks games being included in their 'record'), beat both Greenway and Hibbing by at least 3 goals that season while going undefeated against all Minnesota challengers that year. Guess who beat them. Grand Forks Railroad of course. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> Privates have always been better. I can understand your disdain towards the privates though ... having gotten the 'ship' kicked out of them over the years is hard to swallow (I Falls).<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

No, it is actually five out of the last 61!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

slapshooter · Post by **slapshooter** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:25 pm

Hey Stitch, Is it true that Crookston Cathedral was not mentioned in that so called Independent State Tourney bit that they published at the State Tourney this year? Pretty lame if it is! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"> S<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"> S Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... shooter</A> at: 3/13/06 4:26 pm

In the history of the MSHSL records, I can't find Crookston Cathedral?????????????????????????????????

Stitch Lips · Post by **Stitch Lips** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:29 pm

Another example of Public School bias. I rest my case. Thank you BIAFP. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

Yes Slappy ... this is true. You won't find any jerseys of those private schools that existed hanging in the Xcel either. Another example of 'MSHSL' not doing their homework. Can't blame Mr. Gilbert though. He's just a writer going on the limited info. given to him. Besides, from what I understand ... Gilbert is originally from the Duluth area. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

Yeah, That tournament was in Duluth that year! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Blake "upset" defending Champs Hill in the championship game! 4-2 I believe! I think it was the first loss in something like 42 or 43 games for Hill that night! S<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"> S

Stitch Lips · Post by **Stitch Lips** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:03 pm

You got that right, BIAFP. International Falls never counted those losses on their records. Glad to see someone from the Falls actually admit it. I just might put an extra 200 G's in your bank if the FDIC will insure the additional 'loan' to your bank. That's your prize for the day.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

At least Roseau counted their losses when Crookston Cathedral "schooled 'em" 7-1 when they did! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> S<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"> S Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... shooter</A> at: 3/13/06 5:10 pm

In those days the far better public schools considered them scrimmages while these private schools hyped it up like the Stanley Cup. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">
