Hats off to New Ulm their experience in the Finals the last six years paid off. They never panic and played a well controlled game. Their goalie made the saves when he needed to. Brody Peterson came through like he should. You deserve to be Section 3A Champions.
Wishing you the very best at State. We needed you to represent our Section well. First round will be tough as it will be for three other teams, but after that you should be on even ground.
To Luverne nothing to be a shamed of. You skated hard and gave New Ulm all they wanted. Could you have played better absolutely but let's give the New Ulm team some credit for the way you played. Their defense kept your forwards in check all night.
Kendall Meyer you gave your team a chance to win and that is all a goalie can ever be asked to do, because sometimes the puck just doesn't bounce your way. Luverne you have come a long ways in the past three years. Don't take this past season for granted continue to work, set your goals high and improve your game each and every time you hit the ice. Because New Ulm, Hutch, Marshall, LCD, Windom, and the other Section teams are improving and will not just roll over for you next year. Who knows maybe New Ulm and Hutch will even play you now. As the saying goes "It is easier to get to the mountain top than it is staying on the mountain top."
Finally, to both team thank for an entertaining game tonight. It was fun to watch.
