Early week games, mostly on Tuesday.

Holy Family Catholic defeated Litchfield (again) 10-1 with their frosh and 8th Grade stars lining up the points:
John Peterson (1g, 2a)
Shane Gersich (1g, 3a)
Will Garin (8th Grade) (1g, 1a)

Peterson now has 60 points with one game left. This is the first time in the 4 or 5 years that I have been doing this that a freshman has gotten to 60 points in a season. Probably Gersich will achieve that level also.

White Bear Lake downed Mounds View 7-1 with Jake Wahlin scoring a goal and assisting on 3.

Josh Passolt (2a) and Alec Baer (1a) helped St. Louis Park to a 9-2 win over Robbinsdale Cooper.

Tom Novak scored 1 goal and assisted on 2 as St. Thomas Academy recorded a 7-0 win over Simley.

Okay, this is it, the End-of-Regular-Season Freshmen Scoring Summary. With the playoffs starting, focus shifts to that. Unless noted with a bracketed number, all games played will be 25.

The two Holy Family Catholic freshmen finished at the top. In their final game, a 5-4 win over Delano, John Peterson (2g, 1a) and Shane Gersich (1g, 1a) added to their point totals. Eighth-grader Will Garin also added a sole goal. We'll follow Garin again next year when he becomes a true frosh.

Epic. Right on down to 2 points.
Well, that was all the names on my list. I might have missed someone. Oh well, I'm dumb......I mean, I'm done.

See you next season.

Teak, over and out....

In the Section 4A final, being played right now, both goals have been scored by freshmen.

Carter Roo scored for Totino-Grace, and Tom Novak tied it for St. Thomas Academy.

For some reason I completely missed out on Carter Roo this season. He finished the season with 7 goals and 9 assists for 16 points, and factored into 13% of his team's goals.
