Considering the top 3 AA scorers after this week are all on the same line, I would say Brainerd has the top line in the state! Josh Arichibald, Mitchell McLain and Matt Pohlkamp are definitely fun to watch!

The F.L. line is putting up points.

The interesting thing here is the comments on chemistry. That is without a doubt the most important. I don't agree with breaking the two AV players up or any line that clicks because you lose the magic that makes them great. Coaches that think if they break up a line to get more balanced scoring are missing the point.

Agree with vapor. If players have chemistry, they should play on the same line because that's when magic happens. They trust their line mates and so many of these kids have played together since they were young. Splitting them up often just makes two lines weaker. Coaches that try to run 4 lines at the varsity level are just kidding themselves - is any community really that deep? They often end up with a 4th line paired with an opponent's first line due to rotations and then wonder why they get scored on.
