On the champion side we should get 3 out of 7 good games.

Re: Single A state field
One thing I am hoping for ...
MPLS be given the 3 seed at State
First off I think they earned that this year. Also they beat Delano twice who Mahtomedi lost too.
Secondly, If they drew Monticello or Mankato East it would be a decent game just because those programs have players and coaching staffs who have been there before and MPLS will struggle a little with the nerves at first but would win but it would be close. It would be a decent first round game and the Mahtomedi vs Alex would be a good 4/5 game. So we would get 2 good Qf's instead of just one.
Thirdly, Warroad vs. MPLS and Hermantown vs. Mahtomedi would be a great Friday FInal 4
Here is hoping MPLS gets the THREE (FOR CORN COBB) seed for a better overall Class A Tournament

Re: Single A state field
I would like to see a rematch with Alex and Minneapolis.
But other than 1 & 2 seeds games ((expecting them to be in the ship) I will enjoy the other games.

Re: Single A state field
I think Mahtomedi if they were 4 would have a very good mathup with Alex and win.
Mahtomedi vs Hermantown could get interesting as Dardis could keep it close give the Mighty Hawks a Friday Scare
MPLS vs a Mantkato or Monti like I said may be tight due to their newness vs the experience of Cougar Juice and the Moose.
MPLS vs Warroad could be good.
As I think everyone knows 1-2 is above everyone but its funny how some teams play under the lights of spotlight at the X
Re: Single A state field
Anyone else think it's hilarious the general idea of Minneapolis vs. Warroad? Minnesota's largest city vs. a small town. To an outsider, it would be like...wait...what?!!

Well the field is set. My quick thoughts: the Wednesday quarterfinals might be as bad as ever. It will take a minor miracle for the first three games to stay out of running time. Only the 4/5 game (probably Alex and Minneapolis) will be interesting.
Hermantown easily beats the 4/5 winner in the first game on Friday. The second game is a potential Warroad/Mahtomedi matchup: Dardis keeps the Zephyrs in it but the Warriors pull away late
That gives us the all Northern final we have been expecting: Hermantown reclaims the title in a one-goal classic

Re: Single A state field
Enrollment Numbers (according to the MSHSL website and its listed co-ops). For the co-ops, I took the full enrollment of the largest school and then added half of the remaining schools listed number as I believe that is what the MSHSL uses? Correct me if I am wrong.
The listed cut off for Class A is 1298.
Minneapolis: 1624 (Southwest), 1475 (Washburn), 1300 (South), 3011 total
Monticello/Maple Lake: 1189 (Monticello), 261 (Maple Lake), 1319 total

Mahtomedi: 1129
Mankato East/Loyola: 1061 (East), 105 (Loyola), 1113 total

That was my understanding that the population numbers on the MSHSL have factored in the free/reduced numbers, but not sure why I thought that.BSUBeaver wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:21 amI believe those are already figured in as these are the numbers the MSHSL uses for classification, according to their website.

Re: Single A state field
Not sure if the Minneapolis co-op includes all the Minneapolis schools but their high school total enrollment is over 6000 students.
Re: Single A state field
With Minneapolis, I just listed the three schools that they had listed as part of the co-op on the MSHSL website. But from all the other media reports, it sounds like it includes all schools in the MPS system.

Re: Single A state field
Everyone talks about Hermantown moving up, but sheesh, Minneapolis' population draw dwarfs that of Hermantown. Maybe we should create a Minneapolis thread
The City of Hill Murray is beautiful this time of year

I know just off the top of my head Cambridge-Isanti & I believe River Lakes are also over the cutoff.
I think this is the issue with high school league in my opinion they allow schools like MPLS & Cambridge down for different reasons.
But they bump Sartell for example up for being around 100 kids over Sartell and Monticello are the same enrollment why did Sartell have to move out of 6A this year thy would had a great chance at State. I have no idea who decides or why but its just more confusion from the League on what is allowed and isnt.

1 - Allow no teams to move down if their enrollment is above the AA threshold
2 - Allow no teams to move down if their youth teams play at the AA level
3 - Put all private schools into Class AA and all into one AA Section
Easy . . .
Re: Single A state field
Will be interesting to see how long the MSHSL allows these opt-downs to stay in A if they continue going to state. IMO, if you can make it to state in A, your program has reached a point where they no longer need to opt-down.ClassAGuy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:21 amMonticello & MPLS had to apply for waiver to get down into Class A.BSUBeaver wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 7:52 am Enrollment Numbers (according to the MSHSL website and its listed co-ops).

Re: Single A state field
I'm baffled by the enrollment discussion. It should come down to how many kids play not how many are enrolled. From there, I like the promotion/relegation idea that's been discussed. That's built on merit not enrollment. That's how you level the playing field.rainier2 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:42 amWill be interesting to see how long the MSHSL allows these opt-downs to stay in A if they continue going to state.

How many Class A teams cut kids from Varsity & JV?
As for Mpls, they'll be lucky to make it to section finals next year.

I believe Sartell wanted to move up to AA no matter what.
