Re: Fergus Falls vs Alexandria - Section 6A Championship
Section 6A Playoffs Championship Game (3/3/2022)
#2 seed Fergus Falls (18-9-0) vs #1 seed Alexandria (18-6-2) @ MAC Arena, St. Cloud, MN
Alexandria and Fergus Falls have outscored their Section 6A opponents 47-7 combined in the first two rounds to show really there was no one else even close to these two teams in Section 6A this winter. Now they face off for the third time and so far in the season series Alexandria has dominated the Otters putting together their two most complete wins jumping out to leads in both games and really controlling the game. However, the Otters will get one more shot and they have a group that has Section Final experience where for the majority of the Cardinals they have not played in this game due to missing it a year ago and limited number of Seniors playing in it while they were Sophomores. A key to this game will be we know the Top line of Alexandria’s Brycen Berg, Tyler Kludt & Josiah Gronholz vs Fergus Falls Isaac Johnson, Carter Thielke & Cole Zierden are both coming in on fire through two playoff games but it will be the secondary scoring players like Micheal DeBrito for Fergus and Joseph Lamski for Alex how they can produce. Another key will be Fergus trying to take a lead, something they haven't done to Alex yet. I think this will be a great game. I know Alexandria has owned the Otters twice but in a 1 and done winner gets everything you gotta think the Otters have at least one game in them where they can beat the Cardinals. Will it be on Thursday night with a trip to St Paul on the line?

Section 6A Finals Notes & Tidbits
A Return To The Glory Days
From 1997 to 2003 Fergus Falls went 7 straight Class A State tournaments the Otters became a very well known successful program. Then Little Falls groups came through, Alexandria dropped into Class A, Sartell grew into a powerful Class A program and SCC moved into the section for a period of time and all the sudden it's been 19 long years since the Otters have been to St Paul. Will this be the group to return Fergus Falls to old glory years when they used to make the annual trip to state.
Red Hot Cards
Name the hottest team going in Class A no its not Hermantown or Warroad it's the Alexandria Cardinals actually who are riding the States longest unbeaten streak in Class A at 11 games as they are looking to cash on the section realignment that gives them a real chance to become a team that goes to state year after year in weakened new 6A.
