WOW. A #1 ranking for an A team playing B...what a great accomplishment...they should have won (that is what they were after when they decided to play B) Again, I'm not bitter. Just sick of associations chasing trophy's by making poor development decisions like this one and then treating it like it...

Interesting how just after this movie comes out. The one nuts parents gets tossed from his sons high school game after he takes a nice 5 and 10. The parents got tossed? Really? I missed it. I was looking for them after their son took the 5 and 10 to see how they were doing. But couldn't find them. ...

Good One. We currently have 14 of 16 districts reporting directly to us (a feat that I'm proud of). Some a little faster than others. Our two pages (one Bantam and one PW) with scores from all over the state are as up to date as anyone person could do it. As of this minute we have a ton of very rec...

Big fan of this kid, plays a real honest in your face style. As for staying with your friends..would this be the guys at HM or in Cambridge where he lives. I really do hope they both stay but its a little comical when privates start feeling the the same thing the public schools have felt for years....

BSM looked good last night, but I don't think it was enough. Let's say East lays an egg tonight and Andover just destroys them, would they get seeded? They wouldn't and I don't think BSM should either. Plus I think Eagan had an overall better season. You're comparing Benilde to Andover? No, he's ma...

I'm sure this has been beaten to death but I want to know if anyone has any insight other than just personal opinions. When they started seeding teams, why did they only seed 4 and not all 8? If you're going to do any seeding, it seems logical to me to seed all 8 but I'm guessing the high school lea...

East should stay #1. Tonka sealed there spot at #2 with the loss to Edina. Maple Grove holds at Number #3. 6-1-1 record vs. top 10 keeps them there. these are the top 3 and I think there is a gap between them and any team you put at Number #4.

But this East team is not in the same category as teams from previous years. Last year, Rapids outplayed them in the Section final, making many of us wonder if the best team was representing Section 7AA. Then, Randolph gets the switch flipped, the classic East forecheck resurfaces in St. Paul and p...

It seems to be said a lot that the worst games teams play is against East, however I think that is just because East takes teams out of their element much like the elite teams do to other teams. It's a role reversal Agree 100%. Maple Grove still looked fast and talented, but couldn't make crisp pas...

I have watched MG play 3 times now and they looked the "worst" out of the 3 games, but I think that's because DE is the best high school team I have seen in along time. Pretty much total domination. Very disappointed in Gross's play tonight. Got totally walked fishing for the puck on the 3...
