Who wins round two after Rapids won 4-1 at home the first meeting?

mulefarm · Post by **mulefarm** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:46 am

Could be a meeting of the Section 4th and 5th ranked teams?

butterball5 · Post by **butterball5** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 6:55 am

Cloquet is likely 5th seed but I just cant see Rapids being the 4th seed

Ohhhh that's right....ER beat GR in OT and Andover beat ER in OT, so GR at best will be the number 4 seed come sections. Maybe if Cloquet beats GR tonight they'll fall to the 5th seed.

Rapids with the W, 3-2 Final. It sounded like GR dominated the play of the game but the CEC goalie stood tall making key saves and keeping it close; 36 saves on 39 shots.

Grand Rapids, Elk River, and Andover are fighting for the 2-3 seeds. It will be interesting to see if any of these three teams have a head scratching loss down the stretch that pencils them in at #4. 7AA is turning out to be the deepest section in the state.

Yes, I would have to agree! Throw out the No1 in both 6AA and 7AA and GR, ER, Andover are much better than EP, BSM, Wayzata.

Is Reid Holum back yet? If not, when?

That's what I suspected.

Holum is still out. Has missed past 5 games I believe. Not sure on a possible return.

From a statistical (PageStat) standpoint, it is. Six teams with a rating of 19.50 or higher. 1AA has two, 2AA has three, 3AA has two, 4AA has three, 5AA has three, 6AA has four, 8AA has two. 7AA also has the highest average rating of any section in the state.

6AA can claim that their top four are better than 7AA's top four, but that doesn't really equate depth, because after you get past the fourth spot, it drops way off (Holy Family Catholic is rated fifth)

And Section 8AA has the toughest 10 seed...

Does it really matter after the top 4 seeds? When was the last time a 5th seed or higher made it to state?

I'll pit 7AA's top 4 vs. 6AA's top 4 any day of the week.

Outside of DE/Tonka. You already have the other 3 teams playing against 6AA teams (BSM, Way., EP)..Section 7AA (GR, ER, And.) is 0-5. Nice try though.

And how did 7AA do against 6AA at the Edina Holiday tournament?

Rapids was with out future Golden Gopher Jake Bischoff. Don't worry, we'll kick your ass at state.

I'm not sure how to take that. Does "we'll" mean you are now a part of DE? I can't see the #4 seed Rapids upsetting the Hounds.

My "a$$" won't be at state. But I'm sure a solid team from 6AA will.
