It's unfortunate that parents like you put the burden of the perception of arrogance on your kids.

Some strange seeds.... Albert Lea finished 9th in the Big Nine and lost to 8th place Mankato East twice yet Albert Lea gets a 7 and East gets a 9. Red Wing finishes 10th in the Big Nine and gets a 6 seed. It seems beating Lourdes in one game matters more than the rest of the season. 0-5-1 in the Se...

Weak schedule? The Big Nine was down, LeSeuer beat both West and Faribault, Waseca tied Faribault. Mayo couldn't beat Eveleth and those were the top 3 teams in the Big Nine. Lourdes and New Prague each had tough schedules, nobody else did. St. Peter also lost to East, LaCrescent, Litchfield, Marsha...

One thing to keep in mind, Goldy, is that the majority of teams in the section are Big 9 teams, and historically in most sports, they tend to support each other in seeding. For that reason, I don't see Le Sueur or LaCrescent getting a break in the seeding. I could be wrong, though. With that logic,...

It needs to go up. Period.

I'll be cheering for West, but have to go with New Prague based on last year, coaching, and the possibility of a hot goalie Have you been able to watch them play at all lately? I know you generally have had good insight on West, and they've won a ton of games since the new year. Just wondering what...

I personally believe this is NP's section to lose.. But as stated much throughout the thread this section is a mess. Anyone 1-10 could snatch the section title and be playing at the X in March. If the rumor about Montana from Lourdes is said to be true that's a huge loss for that team who has alrea...

So by picking playoff high school hockey wrong you're not a great hockey mind, but picking correctly you are? Please don't coach my kids.

P.S. Does this really need its own thread?

Red Wing beats Lourdes 4-3. I don't think Lourdes can do any better than a #9 or #10 seed now....0-5-1 in the section can't give you a top seed. West beats John Marshall 5-2 and wins the Big Nine for the second year in a row. Given how many seniors last years team had and an early departure this ye...

Somebody's wondering if his team can win this section....

A healthy slate of games tonight. The Big 9 could have its champion by night's end as well, depending on the Faribault/Mayo and West/JM outcomes. Thursday 2/12 Winona at Northfield Red Wing at Rochester Lourdes Mankato West at Rochester JM Albert Lea at Austin Faribault at Rochester Mayo Dodge Count...

Man, Apollo/Sartell is a heck of a quarterfinal matchup.

Maybe one of your top 5. I can't see anyone outside of the top 4 winning the section, but crazier things have happened. If West gets the two seed, I just can't see anyone, theoretically of course, beating both West and New Prague in route to a title. I could see one team falling, but not both. The ...

Is anyone else a bit surprised Mankato West upset St. Cloud Cathedral?

That probably solidifies them as the two seed, but then is it St. Peter 3 now? Northfield? Faribault with a win over Northfield Saturday? This is going to be a fun section.

My thoughts as of today..

1. New Prague
2. Mankato West
3. Northfield
4. Faribault
5. Rochester Lourdes
6. LaCrescent
7. St. Peter
8. Mankato East
9. Red Wing
10. Albert Lea
11. Waseca
12. Winona
13. Austin.

The only thing I do know is that there will be a lot of "upsets" by various seeds.

Well, some clarity yestereday.

West beats Faribault to all but win the Big 9, New Prague rallied to beat Lourdes, which could've thrown a big wrench into things. Northfield and Faribault have a huge game next week for seedings. Winner is probably the 3, loser probably the 4.

Interesting day yesterday. Nice bounce back day for West against Mayo, Faribault and Century took care of business.
