This section is completely up for grabs this year. All 5 of the top seeds from last year took huge losses to graduation.
Red Wing- Great players in Schammel and his crew.
Lourdes- Top 7. Enough said. Huge Loss.
N.P.- Lapic brothers and Adams. All of their scoring basically.
A.L.- Two nice players in Prescher-Smerud and Prihoda gone. Adams too.
M.W.- Good player Andrew Bruggeman and crafty forward Chris Zimmerman.
I have absolutely no clue who will come out on top this year but i would guess faribault and a toss up for the rest.

My guesses for the section:
Lourdes - Finds a way to stay near the top but can't make a late section surge to the state tournament.
- Top 3: 2nd
New Prague - Their goalie will be able to pull some wins out but the team will need to transition to a more defensive focus with the lapics and adams gone.
- Finish 4th
Albert Lea - Loses a good first line from graduation but Coach Nystrom is a great coach and knows how to get his boys working to their potential.
- Middle of section 5th or 6th
Faribault - I am calling this right now, Faribault wins the section. Very talented they almost upset Lourdes last year. If they play every game how they did that one, this team is a force.
- Top 3, 1st
Mankato West - Graduation takes away all but two of Mankato West's state team from two years ago. Last year the scoring worries were cleared up by Andrew Bruggemen but now who'll step up for the Scarlets?
- Middle of section 6th or 7th.
I know I forgot Red Wing, but to tell you the truth I don't know much about their team to make a comment about them. I do through have them finishing 3rd by the sounds of things.
1. Faribault
2. Lourdes
3. Red Wing
4. New Prague
5. Albert Lea
6. Mankato West
7. Northfield or Mankato East
8.
9. LaCrescent
10. Waseca
11. Austin

"Once a Scarlet, Always a Scarlet"
Faribault
This Faribault group is set to make a run. This will be one of the better Sec. 1 teams we have seen in a few years. They have competed very well with top metro teams coming up the youth ranks. If a goaltender can step up, this team could really turn heads.
Lourdes should be tough as always, the end result will depend on how the boys coming off the bantam squad adjust to the high school game.
Another bit on Faribault, look for them to be good for more than just this year.

Faribault looks like the favorite. Followed by Lourdes,Redwing and Albert Lea. East could surprise some teams. They had 2 new young goalies last season and I would expect them to be better. They had little experience in their defensive group. They return 2 starting defensemem and have a third with some varsity minutes. I also heard they may have added a new defenseman that wasn't on the team last season. They get back one of their best forwards from injury who missed all of last year. They return their top 7 scorers and top 8 of 9 forwards, almost all seniors.

Saw Mankato East play this past weekend, (7-2 win) and they look very good at the forward position. Should be interesting to see how East does tonight against Holy Family, who routed East last year.
Albert Lea looked just okay in scrimmages against West and Mayo the previous weekend, without much scoring in either effort. Faribo is as good a pick as any for the 1A title at this point, at least.

Mayo:7 Red Wing:4
I know it's early, but from the looks of it early, the team to beat in this section will be Faribault, followed up by Rew Wing, East, West, Albert Lea and New Prague.(not in any order..)
In my opinion this section is completely up for grabs. Anyone can beat anyone more than ever this year in this section, and it's going to be a fun season.
Huge Games for Faribault this weekend and next week with New Prague and West.

This is Lourdes section for sure. It may be very weak section this year, but will consist of Lourdes in Finals again.

Section 1A
Faribo beating NP 5-1 was the first real "statement" result in section 1A this season. A lot of teams hoped to compete for the section title, but if Faribo is really four goals better than NP, then they are the clear favorite (so far).

From what I saw in the 3rd the 4th line was in a good part of the time in the Faribo,NP game.OU812 wrote:Faribo beating NP 5-1 was the first real "statement" result in section 1A this season.

Putrah blows to rockets past the west goalie.....Both happened to get tipped of #20, makes it tough for a goalie to stop it when it goes off your own guys all the time. Give west credit for hanging in for the first couple periods.
I dont recall seeing 19 blocked shots at all, not even both teams combined.
Like it is said, it will be a battle for section 1A....though Fbo is tough, there are a handful of teams that will be able to contend come February!! Should be fun!!
