If EP makes the Tournament next year, with the loss of this team's 12 seniors, then you might as well name Tim Morris "Coach of the Year" right now.

i've watched all year the quality shots Carpenter of Centennial has had to face and by far Binilde was the Best by far, 2nd Eagan. With the top minutes in the state I think that says a lot.

GRG-3
Ep-2

Erickson, Arola and Gallop with the goals.
able to stop GRG top line is ridiculus! From what I have seen so far E.P. has atleast 4 or 5 players as good if not better than those three. I see a

I really dont care who wins but to make a statement that E.P. wont be pretty close game with E.P. winning 3-1.
Thats funny, but very untrue.

EP has no player that even compares to emily. Not to metion dana is also a stand out player for rapids. With that being said, they can still be shut down. Hopefully the girls don't choke like the boys have the last two years.

GRG 4
EP 2

Good luck to both teams but hope the lightning burn up the scoreboard against the city team.

You are kidding right! Emily E. is the biggest cherry picker in the state!Totaly onesided player. If E.P. where to stay out of the penalty box tonight it would have been a very lopsided game! E.P has 4 or 5 players better than her.

Wow, most ridiculous posts I've ever seen. Was a great Championship game, and the more deserving team won. Sounds like many have sour grapes over getting beat. Both teams deserved to be where they were because they put it where it mattered - The Scoreboard. Why cry and try to put down great accomplishments by both teams? When all is said and done about the season that was 2007-08, the final tally will say that EP was #1, and GR/G was #2. All the bitter people are making themselves look more and more stupid with every jealous post they write. As for Emily E., I'm sure you all know more about the type of player she is than the schools that recruited her, and the one in particular that gave her a full scholarship. She's as deserving as any to receive the accolades heaped upon her. Don't be sore losers, we're not.

Congratulations to both teams. GRG has had a run of a few years with a group of talented players coming through at the right time and really made the best of it. They'll still be a nice team for the foreseeable future, too. Its too bad they peaked this year, when EP was loaded.

EP had it all; multiple high-end-talent players, really good goat-tending and to cap it off, great depth and a state-tournament seasoned coach. Not only did EP possess outstanding players, they played with the intensity thats needed at the highest level. Hats off to the EP players and coaches for putting it all together and playing hard to the end.

Unbelievable, the attitude from this human nose bleed. Yes I’m talking to you Road Kill. Why must you continue to pull your self up by pushing others down? Why can’t you just appreciate the fact that your team made to the Big Dance and take comfort in that they didn’t trip and fall down when they were on the dance floor? They actually performed pretty well and did themselves proud. Why must you tarnish the moment? I myself, leading up to the tournament, complained of the three weak Sections (I think you remember) and how much better the tournament would have been if say a Holy Angles or Edina or Roseville or Stillwater or Hopkins or WBL or HM or MTK…(you get the point)…were in it instead of say Centennial. But I was wrong. As the tournament unfolded you know what? All the team that were there, deserved it, and in the end the two best teams in the State where in the final game. So it really didn’t matter did it? Just congratulate your team and stop pulling yourself up by pushing others down.
Grand Rapids is a great team that fell a little short. IMO they looked tired and out manned by the deep and talented EP team. Although they may have been running on empty they didn’t quit. In my book that is the mark of a Champion. Well done GR... well done. We will hear from them again, you can count on it. As for you, let us all hope we are spared from ever hearing from you again.

SEhockey DAD,

You hit the nail on the head. While I don't think GRG is as deep as EP, it was EPs intensity that was the difference in this game. EPs forecheck 5 on 5 killed GRG. Intensity along with two extrodinary goals by Green. We hear the phrase "effort goals" ... well those two goals define that phrase. Quite a night from a player who had to bounce back from a very serious injury this year.

Not to mention her third, an EN that sealed the deal.

Finally, Maddie Burke, who stopped everything except PP scrambles including EE's breakaway early in the third.
