It means nothing about the other teams. I Don't care about the other teams, I'm talking about your teams. One game might not make a season, but from 2014, the thing I will always remember about North was how they did a no show and got shellacked in the biggest game of the season. In 2012 the thing I will always remember about South is not the upset but them looking like a team from section 3A and giving up double digits to Benilde. Maybe I remember that being a negative person, but that game really stuck out to me. 2013 North was only at the X for one game where they gave up 9 so I don't really have much else to say about that one.
If you really want to boast about 1AA being successful then go ahead, but in reality they come from the easiest section and ONLY have two respectable finishes in 3rd from South and 2nd from North. However, I do expect North to get another respectable finish this year with a 2nd place ribbon.

Sorry for taking over the 8AA thread with this 1AA nonsense, I really hope Bemidji makes it. They seem to have a bright future and Im hopeful that I might be able to see them play at the X
I honestly don't even think they should have been in the game. They got lucky in overtime twice.

Rooms are booked.

Not worried about their schedule.
Schedule does not teach how to use your edges, how to protect the puck with your body, how to shoot from all positions, how to block shots....
need I go on...

I hear too much about schedules, not just on this thread but the forum and elsewhere....
you can either play the game or not.

at St. Cloud Apollo
vs. Grand Rapids
at Moorhead
vs. Warroad
at Thief River Falls
vs. East Grand Forks
at Roseau
at Duluth Denfeld
at Sartell-St. Stephen
vs. Moorhead
at East Grand Forks
vs. Hermantown
at Alexandria
vs. Roseau
at Warroad
vs. Thief River Falls

16 of 25 are quality games.
Not the toughest schedule but a good test.

Grand Rapids tough schedule about 19
Elk River maybe 13
Lakeville North 17
Hill 17
Blaine 13
White Bear 16
