Section Tourney Upsets

[StanleyCup55]

I’m not sure if all #1 seeds in all 8 sections have ever gone on to win their section tournaments but it seems that every year there are surprising upsets. Who are some real dark horses going into sections that could knock off the top seeds besides #2 seeds like Rosemount, EP or Hill.

I think Champlin Park, Brainerd and Cloquet all have decent shots at upsetting and all are #3 seeds. I even think Century could pull it off with section 1AA lacking a top ten team, or even almost top 20.

In class A could Denfeld or Greenway knock off Hermantown?

I think Buffalo could win 8AA. I probably wouldn't pick them, but I think there's a real possibility.

Upsets I could see happening tonight (if you consider 5's over 4's upsets):

#6 Owatonna over #3 Century
#5 Burnsville over #4 Eastview
#5 CDH over #4 Blake
#7 SW Christian over #2 Delano
#5 Hutchinson over #4 Luverne
#5 DL over #4 Crookston

[That guy for that thing]

Elk River beat Forest Lake. TECHNICALLY its an upset as QRF had FL at 4 and ER at 5.

Denfeld-NO

Greenway-Not very likely, but they have the talent level in the top 5 or 6 players to do it. TV timeouts will be a huge help for them if they end up playing Hermantown in the finals.

In class A could Denfeld or Greenway knock off Hermantown?

No.

If you’re looking for upsets in Class A...
1A: Albert Lea as the #3 seed
2A: We’ll see tonight how Mpls and SWCR fare, and Breck could ugly up a game against Orono to advance
3A: Nah, one of the top two are locks
4A: Ditto
5A: Pine City at #5 is sneaky
6A: Alex or Sartell wouldn’t be really upsets
7A: Hermantown
8A: See 6A, but even more so with TRF and Warroad

I am telling you there is a chance, maybe a chance and a half.

EP isn’t a 2 seed Chaska is. So, in that sense, EP is a 3 seed that could knock off the #1.
