they had a nice group of squirts last year. Pee-wees played A the last two years I think. Seems to be a growing program. I heard they have kids leave for Andover/others. As far as 7AA goes, sledding will contuinue to be tough. SMA has some good teams coming up, Elk River , Rapids, Cloquet should be good in the next 4 to five years. Can never count out East.

An interesting note is that not only is Haas transferring (Blake's #2 scorer with 60 points/20 goals, but so is Johnny Austin, a defense man who was Blake's #3 scorer (36 points/9 goals).frederick61 wrote:Remember Besse scored 75 points (40 goals) for BSM last year. Moore had 59 points (27 goals), and Labosky had 56 points (14 goals). All three would have to serious increase their output without gaining a lot of ice time to add 65 points.Napalm187 wrote:O'Borsky and Horn have been exclusively at F since they started at BSM.
Besse will score over 100 points next year while Moore & Labosky will combine for 155 pts. If they stay healthy.
Naas will juice the second line, and they will have #'s comparable to this last years' #2 line.
What I am missing? The thing that is going to hurt is Collins and Glover leaving. But this is HS hockey...you only need a few good kid to put the puck in the net, some fast skaters amongst your other forwards and 2-3 really competent defenseman with a quality goalie to win state. Seems like they'll have that. Have some issues with BSM Fred? I can't believe I'm defending BSM. Felt like I had too, with all the inaccuracies.
The only "inaccuracy" in my story on Texas High School hockey at the Walmart was my comment that St. Francis was strong enough to compete with BSM next year. Time will judge that "inaccuracy". The rest of the story is accurate. I saw the games played up close and the Houston Elite team was competitive with Minnesota High School Hockey.
The BSM fans want a repeat of last season and I simply stated they are lost their senior defensive play and would have a tough road to improve on their 19-6 record. It has been a fun discussion on a sultry day in July. That is hockey.
