Class A Rankings 12-6-2015
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2015 12:08 am
There is a switch at the top 2 with a tie and a lot of teams winning a lot early. What will teams do over the next two weeks to move up?
1. [2] Breck (4-0)
The Mustangs start strong with some good 8A wins and a section win. How will they do over the next two weeks playing two AA teams Hermantown played over the last two weeks?
Tues 12/8 @ Totino-Grace, Thurs 12/10 @ Wayzata, Sat 12/12 @ St Paul Academy, Thurs 12/17 @ St Cloud Cathedral, Sat 12/19 @ Duluth Marshall
2. [1] Hermantown (3-0-1)
Hermantown hasn't lost a game and has yet to play a Class A team. Their next two weeks they play 3 Class A teams and can solidify their spot atop the rankings.
Thurs 12/10 vs Denfeld, Sat 12/12 @ Thief River Falls, Fri 12/18 @ Minnetonka, Sat 12/19 @ New Prague
3. [5] St Cloud Apollo (1-1)
The Eagles have had one game in the last two weeks, which means nothing to hurt them but also not much to prove where they are. With their schedule, the only thing Apollo can do is win. If they lose even 1 game this season, they will not be top 3 going into sections, but if they don't lose any, with Breck and Hermantown losing certain games, they could be the top team. Every game is important for this team.
Tues 12/8 vs Alexandria, Fri 12/11 @ Sartell-St Stephen, Sat 12/12 @ St Cloud Cathedral, Thurs 12/17 vs Fergus Falls, Sat 12/19 vs Mankato West
4. [6] Mahtomedi (3-1)
The Zephyrs won at St Paul Academy but followed that up by allowing 6 goals to Spring Lake Park in a home win. Hill-Murray is probably all that stands in their way of an outright conference title; can they compete with the Pioneers at home?
Thurs 12/10 @ North St Paul, Sat 12/12 vs Tartan, Tues 12/15 vs Hill Murray, Sat 12/19 @ Henry Sibley
5. [4] St Paul Academy (3-1)
The Spartans lost to Mahtomedi by 1 goal then turned around and beat East Grand by 4. They could lose 1 game all season and still be the #2 team in the section, it will be up to them to convince the section they should be the top seed. Can they do it?
Tues 12/8 vs Simley, Thurs 12/10 vs Kennedy, Sat 12/12 vs Breck, Sat 12/19 @ Rochester John Marshall
6. [3] East Grand Forks (4-2)
The Green Wave are not the team they were the last couple seasons, with losses to Breck and St Paul Academy, but they have 1 goal wins over Cathedral and Totino. 4 of their next 5 games are against above average teams so we will have a better picture by then.
Tues 12/8 @ Crookston, Fri 12/11 vs Hibbing, Sat 12/12 @ Kittson Central, Tues 12/15 vs Bemidji, Sat 12/19 vs Alexandria
7. [7] Delano (4-1)
The Tigers lost to Breck but also scored 7 goals in that loss. They are likely the 2nd best team in 2A and they proved they can go toe to toe with Breck. Can this be the year they make their first state tournament appearance?
Tues 12/8 vs Buffalo, Fri 12/11 @ St Cloud Cathedral, Tues 12/15 vs Litchfield, Fri 12/18 @ Hutchinson
8. [9] St Cloud Cathedral (5-1)
The Crusaders have only lost to the two time defending champs but with 3 games in the next two weeks against teams in the top 7, their next ranking is in their hands.
Fri 12/11 vs Delano, Sat 12/12 vs St Cloud Apollo, Thurs 12/17 vs Breck, Fri 12/18 vs Mankato West
9. [10] Hibbing (4-0)
The Bluejackets have not lost a game, including 3 on the road. Can they continue it on the road our west this week?
Fri 12/11 @ East Grand Forks, Sat 12/12 @ Crookston, Fri 12/18 vs Rochester Mayo, Sat 12/19 vs Albert Lea
10. [11] Thief River Falls (4-1)
The Prowlers have only lost to Breck and their destiny is in their hands. How will they do this week?
