Why wouldn't New Prague have a chance to be seeded in front of Cathedral? Looks like they (Cathedral) didn't play against a AA team all season (unless in a tourney I missed). New Prague played at least 10 games against pretty fair AA teams this year and only lost 2 games- Eagan 2-1 and Farmington 4-3. Frankly in the game against Cathedral, NP outplayed them for most of the game. Solid goaltending really saved the day for the Crusaders! The only other A loss was to Hermantown.
River Lakes, Becker and Monticello are all AA teams. Which helps illustrate that it's not about what class the teams you play in are, but who you play.
Cathedral played 4 games in a row against teams that were all better than all but 2 or 3 of the teams on New Prague's entire schedule. The average of New Prague's schedule is definitely "better" but, while they play more lower teams, Cathedral plays more higher quality opponents?
Why play the game if you aren't going to let the result matter? Regardless of who got "outplayed" Cathedral scored more goals than New Prague.

3AA seedings weren't out until today, but I got everything I wanted; a chance to see St Thomas play both Driscoll and Cretin in their away jerseys.
I know you were desperately waiting for my writing, but I wanted to have the seeds to post first. My apologies.
Thanks pekyman, I'm sure they appreciate your support
