Class A Rankings 2-19-17
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 8:59 pm
1. [1] Hermantown (23-1-1)
The Hawks have won 23 in a row and allowed 0 or 1 goals in 16 of 25 games this season.
2. [2] Delano/Rockford (21-3-1)
The Tigers have only lost to Hermantown and Holy Family this season.
3. [3] Breck (20-3-2)
The Mustang's only Class A loss is to Delano in the second game of the season.
4. [4] Mahtomedi (13-11-1)
Only Class A losses are Hermantown, Breck and St Paul Academy.
5. [5] St. Paul Academy (21-4-0)
Two close losses to Breck and a recent road loss in Colleraine are the only Spartans MN blemishes.
6. [6] St. Cloud Cathedral (17-6-2)
Cathedral and Delano are the only teams to have played all the teams ranked ahead of them.
7. [7] East Grand Forks (14-8-2)
Losing to TRF isn't a great way to end the season.
8. [9] Alexandria (15-7-3)
Beating Sartell and losing to EGF by 1 to end the season puts them right between them. Their lone game with Cathedral was early and ended in a tie; should be a good section tournament.
9. [8] Sartell (16-6-3)
Having gotten crushed by Cathedral and losing to Alexandria to close the season doesn't make their section chances look too promising.
10. [11] Hibbing/Chisholm (18-7-0)
Closing the season getting crushed by Hermantown, they are likely the 2 seed going 1-1 with Greenway and having no other section losses.
11. [10] Greenway (17-7-1)
After losing to International Falls 2 weeks ago, they beat the Broncos to close the season. They should be the 3 seed with an exciting semifinal.
12. [12] Orono (16-9)
The spartans lost only 2 games by more than 3 goals. The 3 seed plays their first section game against the 6 seed who recently beat them.
13. [13] Fergus Falls (15-9-1)
Beating Alexandria and losing to Sartell by 1 is a great way to end the season. The Fliers are rewarded with a 5 seed and play Little Falls first in the postseason, a team who has beaten them twice; can they win the third match-up?
14. [14] Blake (12-13-0)
Had a good season, with some losses to some good teams. The first team they play is a team they beat by 2 and is followed by a likely match-up with Breck.
15. [15] Totino-Grace (10-13-2)
2-3 in their games against Class A teams this season, losing to EGF by 1 and Mahtomedi by 2. Minnehaha Academy should be a good test, with the possibility of playing SPA after.
