Who do you think will come out on top in this one?

I got Stilly 3 to 1.

Tied 2-2. I expected FL to beat the yearly overrated punies.

Surprised at this result, I expected Flake to blow the Ponies out of the water.

What happened to this up & coming powerhouse Flake program? I thought they were loaded with all this returning talent from last year's conference title team. I thought Forsythe was mentioned as one of the best coaches in the state?

Reality is, Flake is an average program. The had a couple nice seniors last year and caught the conference in a down year. Evidence of this was seeing Flake get destroyed in the sections and seeing no one from their conference advancing to state. Forsythe is a decent guy and works well with kids, but is just an average coach. I see them finishing in the middle of the conference this year which may seem surprising to some people.

Agreed. Any team that ties the lowly Ponies must be weak.

Forest Lake lost to Rapids 4to3. Rapids just beat edina.
