i am sure with extensive googling on my naked lady machine i could get the answer...but figured someone on here would make it easy and give me the answer

lowest section seen in the last 15 years or so to make it to state? upsets are fun.

anyone have any idea of this years lower seeds that have the largest opportunity for an upset and make it all the way to the X?

Without doing any research at all, last year Alexandria was a No. 5 seed out of Section 6A. Hard to believe too many lower seeds than that have advanced.

In the past ten years, three #5 seeds have gone to state. Alexandria in 2011, Shakopee in 2005, Lakeville in 2003 (the only #5 seed to make it in Class AA).

More pointless info; Twelve #3 seeds have won, four #4 seeds have won. Didn't calculate how many #2 seeds won their section.

Given time, I'll track back farther.

Lakeville might of been a #5 seed in '02 as well if I remember right.. got to love 1AA

What was Rosemount back in what 96? they were a lower seed

Not sure on the section seeding, but the 92 Rosemount team took 2nd in Tier II state with 6 wins, meaning if they played 3 section games to get to state, they went into the sectional tournament with only one win and ended up a state runner up which is a head scratcher.

Austin went as a #6 seed in 1993, they beat a pretty decent Apple Valley squad in the consolation round.

Lakeville went as a #5 seed in 2003, catching a break when Austin was upset by Century.

In 2004, Hibbing took 3rd in Class A as a #4 seed.

As I recall, International Falls was the 8th seed and knocked off no. 1 seed Hibbing in the 1983 quarterfinals. THey went on to win in the semis and then beat Grand Rapids to get to state, where they lost 4-0 to Burnsville and 6-s to Edina.

How about Henry Sibley getting to state with a losing record in 97?

Teams, that make it to State, with a losing record are actually not that uncommon.

8)

If you're talking about 1AA, I agree, but since the other teams in the section are also around .500 or below then that wouldn't necessarily make for a low seed advancing to state. I'm curious where this info is on the net. I want to see it.

1AA and some Class A teams.

Look at the past decades of the teams that made it with a losing record. There are several.

What seed was cloquet when they went in 08?

4th.

'86 Richfield with Damien Rhodes that upset Edina then Minnetonka in 6AA couldn't have been a very high seed with a sub-.500 record.

Blaine was a #3 seed in 4AA when they won it all in 2000.

I'm fairly sure Richfield was a #5 seed in 1986. Before upsetting Edina and Minnetonka they beat Hopkins, which was seeded #4, and 4 vs. 5 would have been the usual quarterfinal matchup.

Hill-Murray won the last one class title in 1991 as a #3 seed in their section. Believe it or not, the 1983 Pioneers team that finished 28-0 and won the championship game over Burnsville was also a #3 seed.
