is this for real?

get over it, how do you think they'd do if they had Schroeder, Haeg, Mergens, Schriner and one team like some of the huge schools out there. Its not that Lakeville doesn't have the players to compete, its the fact that they are playing somewhere else. Would it be better if someone else from this section made it? Until the system changes there will always be a weak section that gets people up in arms.

Yea get over it koho snipe. You lost to Edina. Hard fought game but u guys came up just short. Congrats but to rip on the lakeville schools because they will be at the X is not necessary. Have some class man.

yea sounds like a bitter bville fan or player

Either way it is kind of a shame that neither B-ville or Minnetonka gets a chance and a possible team ranked in the bottom half of the state is in

People complain right now because recently section 1AA hasnt been the best but it hasnt always been like this and it wont stay like this. Lakeville just split 3 years ago and they will develop. Century is also a relatively new school so give the Rochesters time to grow a little more and they will be fine too.

The REAL problem is the private schools. Now I dont really want to get into because its talked about often but if Lakeville didnt lose kids to private schools (Mergens, Crandall, Brutlag, Schroeder, etc, etc.) and if Rochester didnt lose so many players to Lourdes. There would be alot better teams in this section.

So dont hate the Lakeville kids for anything. They worked just as hard as anyone all year and now one of them will get the chance of a lifetime.

im over this. they have no control over whose in their section. more power too em. it should be a good rivalry game tommorrow night

i kind of like the fact that there is a huge underdog in state... its like a george mason to root for

South will beat North. If they do not draw one of the top 2 seeds, I predict an upset. Quit bashing Lakeville South when they have not even played 1 game up there yet. If they go get blown out both games, then we can stomp on them all we want, but don't count them out before they play a game.

wow fan2007 your not from south or anything!

And your not from Burnsville or anything!

South is a good team and could upset someone with there goalie. I would have liked to see Burnsville play South but, oh well.

actually thats diamond ha

Burnsville played South...twice...and won 7-1 and 6-3...its just the lousy section draws that prevent teams like Tonka and Burnsville from being in the tournament and don't try and tell me south is better than Burnsville or tonka cause they're not

thank you. that was a nice explanation. South never had a chance

the only thing that is a bigger joke in the tourney then south is loue nanne..i know he is a legend and all but its about time he hangs up his announcing duties beacause he is a TOOL SHED!!

Woodbury lost to Hastings and Blake, BLAKE!!!! Crimany Blake was beaten by Owatonna and looked awful in the A tournament twice. There are some down teams in this field, South isn't the only one.

After watching that game, I thought Lakeville South and Hill-Murray might be two of the worst teams ever to come to the state tournament. No skill, no speed...neither of them would have a chance to win the Class A tournament, let alone this one. Just two hours of wretched hockey.

You're calling Woodbury a "down team in this field"? If you're going to do that, then Hill-Murray must a down team for losing to Tartan.

I don't think you really no what you're talking about goldy.

I thought Hill looked really good against STA earlier this year.. I have to believe the reason they looked so bad last night was all lakeville's fault.. They were all over the place.. Thats not a rip on the kids.. its a rip on the coach..

I was very impressed with this very underratted Lakeville team. They held with a very good Hill Murray team throughout the game. Each team was playing the body well, moving the puck equally as well (in respects to one another), and had some phenomenal scoring chances.

The main difference was Hill-Murray capitalized on their opponents mistakes and Lakeville couldn't largely in part to Mr. Phillipi. I thought it was a great game to watch, and Lakeville deserved to be at the X just as much as any other team down here

This is old crap...Lakeville South and Mankato West would beat at least 2 or 3 of the other teams in the tournament depending on their initial draw. Bashing section 1 is pretty ignorant....

In conference play, South faced teams like Burnsville, Rosemount, EP, Eastview, Jeffereson. All teams that could compete in this tournament. South didn't have the guns to win, but could hang with Hill because they have been playing against this level all season.

how bout blaine the way they played last night?

South would beat Blaine, CEC and prolly Woodbury......Kato West would beat everyone in class A except Marshall and STA......and yes they would beat Warroad.

You are correct sir! Playing that kind of schedule all season they are accustomed to that speed of play and can compete, but don't have the talent to beat 6 of the other 7 teams in the tourney.
