Re: Cathedral vs Greenway

Back on Dec 7th, these two teams met at the Snake Pit. SCC won 5-3, the shots were 31-31, and I don't see any notable names from either side missing from the scoresheet. Two things stand out from that game: 1. Greenway outshot SCC 13-4 in the third, suggesting that fatigue from lack of depth did not...

Re: Greenway vs Mahtomedi

Raiders have been at their best in the 3rd period the last few games. Hope that continues!

Re: Greenway vs Mahtomedi

Thought you already reached your tourney nirvana now that HT has been eliminated. Just for you I hope the Class A final is between: Mahtomedi – about 100 shy of being AA and in one of, if not wealthiest, suburb in a real metro area. St Cloud Cathedral – a Private AAA school in a metro area a tad sm...

Re: Greenway vs Mahtomedi

I think Greenway has the better top 10. They kept their legs in the first game so hopefully they can do it again. With Moorhead and East out, a Greenway/EGF final would salvage the tourney for me.

Re: Class A QF: #5 Delano vs. #4 Greenway

Nice work, Raiders!! Was getting worried Delano's opportunistic offense and sharp goaltending might spur an upset, but Greenway smothered them more and more as the game went on.

Hopefully Raiders are sharp from the get go on Friday.

Re: The Hermantown Thread

It may seem counterintuitive, but perhaps Greenway's triumph will be the catalyst for a Hermantown opt-up, instead of evidence that the Hawks really should stay in A. I know Hermantonians were stunned after the loss to Alex last year, but the Greenway loss is next-level disbelief. Many of their fans...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Scott is more qualified than anyone to call out Hermantown on their sandbagging and hordes of open-enrollees and transfers. He really gets it. You seem confused, sandbagging is a golf term whereas a good player plays bad to get in a lower flight to then beat the bad golfers. At no time has Hermanto...

Re: 7AA 2018-2019

It’s not a bad decision to play a powerhouse like Hermantown ever. The problem lies in the QRF classification of Hermantown as a lesser opponent simply because they are class A. The problem also lies in the points awarded to Forest Lake in their wins against complete basement dwellers. With any log...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Why wouldHermantown ever merge with anybody, that is the dumbest idea ever, also your fantasy 7A and 7AA sections are just that FANTASY. Exactly, why would Hermantown merge officially, when they essentially are already merged with Proctor? Hermantown gets all the best players to open enroll from Pr...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Any thoughts on which team could replace Hermantown in 7A if they decide to move up to AA in the next couple of years. I would say move Cambridge-Isanti or St.Francis out of 7AA and put one of those two programs or Duluth Marshall in Hermantown's spot. The only way that will ever happen is if the A...

Re: Section 7A seeding

Rainer2 you should be at the seeding meeting to argue for Hibbing to get the #6 seed. I do agree that at this point in time Hibbing deserves the #6 seed. To me they should be a lock for a #7 seed. It will be tough to overcome two bad losses to the Falls. However the Falls has lost 9 in a row agains...
