I'm picking page2stat in running time (+6) over the coaches this year.

I wish I shared your optimism but the coaches have gotten better the last several seasons. Still, there are going to be some huge disagreements this year.goldy313 wrote:I'm picking page2stat in running time (+6) over the coaches this year.

Lee, you are essentially saying 5 of the 8 section finals are virtually a flip of a coin --one goal games too close to call ?
Of course , momentum and good coaching and captaining motivation helps most down the stretch....

Yeah, that arbitrary 1.00 difference meaning a team is a favorite may have been overstated. 0.50 or 0.75 may have been more realistic. I see a couple instances where I have major doubts about a team being a favorite. Then again, that's just what my thought process is, and might not mean anything.WestMetro wrote:Lee, you are essentially saying 5 of the 8 section finals are virtually a flip of a coin --one goal games too close to call ?

Looks about right Elliott. And would be an awesome line-up if holds true. Most competitive 8 in recent memory.

Yes, those are the consensus most likely.
Not a single upset?

I don't think they can beat Bemidji and don't think they could beat Moorhead once / if they beat Bemidji. Nothing against them. Just think the only team that can knock Moorhead off is Bemidji.GoldenBear69 wrote:elliott70 wrote:These will be the teams at the X

PageStat's section summaries look reasonably accurate to me. It is too bad some sections are not competitive in that only a single school is mentioned (e.g., Hermantown in 7A). Even though we know that Hermantown will win the A tourney, I would rather watch a competitive section (3A) where any of several teams could make it. After all, sports is about competition, not slaughters.

PageStat disagrees with the higher seed in ten games (so far). This compares to only seven disagreements in the 2016 section tournaments.

Seedings up 3-2 tonight. If Anoka hangs on to their 2-0 lead over Champlin Park, we'll be tied on the night and PageStat will cling precariously to their one game lead.
