Heading down the stretch...WBL on top, no question. Hard to see any scenario that Hill and Stillwater aren't 2 and 3 given they both have a couple of quality wins and completely different quality of opponent over the season as compared to Irondale and Tartan. WBL 4 remaining games - Mostly middle to...

Given all the talk about Hill losing to Hastings, it seems to be a good time to revisit this section! Maybe the weakest section in the state in AA this year! #1 - WBL - Not much chance they aren't #1 even if Stillwater were to pull off an upset in a rivalry game vs. WBL or if they drop another one l...

NEXT YEAR is the Bears year (isn't that always the case!) Realistically, this section will be one of the worst in AA next year and all 3 teams have a chance to win the section but not much chance beyond that. Not that it means much, but Stillwater and Hill have each won 2 of the last 4 section tourn...

Doc... I agree... I don't think the game last night was too bad. I have seen much worse. I thought last year was worse in the State tourney games. The reffing comments were more about Wayzata's chances next weekend. I think they are better than most would think due to their style and how things chan...

Re: Wayzata

I wouldn't underestimate Wayzata in any of the state tourney games due to the way the games are called this time of the year. It really favors their type of game. As the Edina players (arms in the air on no calls) and the fans have noted the refs put the whistles away this time of the year and you h...

Agree these scrimmages don't mean much ... so for what it is worth Holy Family took the play to Stillwater the majority of the game. Both goalies were very good making some spectacular saves which isn't surprising as both have very high end tenders. For a scrimmage it was very physical and scrappy. ...

Congrats to Wayzata...they did what it took for them to win it all. They had the deepest and used that to their advantage...no doubt there.

Ponies were not great last night but found a way to win. I am sure they will be happy to have people calling it a "fluke win" or "lucky win". We will see if they can have some consistency. This group of kids knows how to win which the Ponies have not had....maybe ever. The top li...
