2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Interesting to consider how this shakes out, and it makes me appreciate the section finals even more this season. On paper the Thursday quarterfinals will be the least interesting in a while.
#1 - Minnetonka or (if Skippers lose) Wayzata/Edina winner
#2 - Wayzata/Edina winner or Chanhassen
NEXT - Maple Grove, Hill-Murray, St. Thomas, Andover
UNSEEDED - 1AA, 8AA
Here are the PS2 ranks for remaining teams
1. Tonka
2. Wayzata
3. Edina
4. Chanhassen
6. Maple Grove
11. Hill-Murray
12. St. Thomas
13. Andover
18. Centennial
20. Stillwater
22. Gentry
23. Cretin
25. Grand Rapids
28. Lakeville South
29. White Bear Lake
30. Elk River
39, Buffalo
61. Rochester C/JM

You're probably right on.
I think Centennial would nab a seed if they won. Will be interesting if someone other than Hill Murray wins 4AA.

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Curious to see what the March 2nd update looks like with Andover and STA. Humans favored Andover more than STA (more so the coaches) at the end of the regular season, but STA's upset of Rosemount in sections makes the gap very close. I guess this is all a moot point if Cretin wins Friday.
Agree that quarters won't be very interesting. I'm not even that stoked for the semis with the drop off after the top two seeds. The championship is where it's at this year.

Lots of heavy favorites have lost QF and SF games over the years. You never know what’s going to happen once the puck is dropped. Come on people, you gotta believe

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
I agree completely, just pointing out the obvious reality that seeing two Top 5 teams meet in Sections THREE TIMES is nuts and most sections are very competitive within. Two QF games will involve a Top 3 team and one likely outside the Top 20. When those are close - H-M taking Tonka to OT in 2023 - it is exciting and enjoyable. That said, don't be surprised if we see a runner or two.Brodziak Fan Club wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 3:21 pm Lots of heavy favorites have lost QF and SF games over the years.

Yeah, unlike the Edina\Wayzata final, where there'll be lots of rusted beaters in the lot.SEC Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:43 pm Never been this excited for a 3AA final, Not!!

Two privates, so they likely have the money for nice cars, unless the whole family budget is going towards education.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:36 pmYeah, unlike the Edina\Wayzata final, where there'll be lots of rusted beaters in the lot.SEC Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:43 pm Never been this excited for a 3AA final, Not!!

And there certainly are plenty of families that sacrifice to send their kids to private schools, it's very common.ryguyMN wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:50 amTwo privates, so they likely have the money for nice cars, unless the whole family budget is going towards education.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:36 pmYeah, unlike the Edina\Wayzata final, where there'll be lots of rusted beaters in the lot.SEC Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:43 pm Never been this excited for a 3AA final, Not!!

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
I think it depends on whether all the kids to to private school or whether, I’m sure by pure coincidence, it’s just the kid who plays hockey who wanted to go to private school.ryguyMN wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:50 amTwo privates, so they likely have the money for nice cars, unless the whole family budget is going towards education.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:36 pmYeah, unlike the Edina\Wayzata final, where there'll be lots of rusted beaters in the lot.SEC Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:43 pm Never been this excited for a 3AA final, Not!!

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Does MSHSL now seed 6 teams instead of 5?

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
If they win on Friday, does Hill Murray have a claim to the #3?
Had one hiccup to Two Rivers; otherwise their losses in '24 have been to Tonka, Benilde & Edina. Also just smacked Maple Grove 2 weeks ago.

I’m not sure AA is down much. Just think the top 4 or 5 are really up. Just my opinion.

Hill or MG could be the three. And the 3 may get a much better draw than the 4.

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
I’ll pile on. How it must feel for teams like BSM, Wayzata, soon Chan, maybe Tonka and EP to absolutely destroy each other all season and not even make State or the finals of their section. Then see Hill “battle” it out against…. Wait, who?GopherHockey wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 2:17 pmHill Murray a 3 seed…. Phew.

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Well.....certainly have had some wrenches thrown in the plan.
Chanhassen IN / Tonka OUT.
Centennial IN / Maple Grove OUT
Rochester IN / Lakeville South OUT (Not that they would have been a seed).
Hill Murray/White Bear/St Thomas Academy/Cretin: You're up next.
Chanhassen IN / Tonka OUT.

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Normally a first time team coming in at #2 is dangerous. But it's hard to see Chanhassan losing to one of the random draws.
