Subject to change after a final review:
3A
Section Championship
#1 Luverne 5, #3 Fairmont 2
Note: Congratulations to the Tigers on being the first team to win their section and advance to State! A result that everyone in our group predicted; we just had them playing Mankato East to get there, which precluded any correct scores.
4A
4A Semifinals - Upper Bracket
#1 St. Paul United 9, #5 Henry Sibley 1
4A Semifinals – Lower Bracket
#3 South St. Paul 3, #2 Mahtomedi 1
Notes:
(1) The United move on as expected by all here. Only mnhockey3535 had a shot at the score as everyone else had them playing Simley in this semi. He had it at 6-1 which was a pretty good guess…
(2) The majority – 8 of 13 – had the 3rd seeded Packers advancing over the 2nd seeded Zephyrs. Some good attempts at the score, but not quite…
4A Final
#1 St. Paul United vs. #3 South St. Paul @7:30pm on 2/11/16 at St. Thomas Arena
5A
5A Semifinals – Upper Bracket
#1 Blake 8, #4 Totino-Grace 2
5A Semifinals – Lower Bracket
#3 Princeton 2,
#2 Breck 6
Notes:
(1) Blake advancing to the section final didn’t surprise anyone. But none of the 6 who had them playing Totino-Grace got the 8-2 score.
(2) And likewise everyone had Breck advancing to meet their main rival Blake. But here we had two getting the score right to pick up an extra two points: nice call by mnhockey3535 and cjmhockey19.
5A Final
#1 Blake vs. # 2 Breck @7:30pm on 2/11/16 at
6A
6A Semifinals – Upper Bracket
#1 Alexandria 4, #5 Northern Lakes 1
6A Semifinals – Lower Bracket
#3 Prairie Center 2,
#2 Fergus Falls 3
Notes:
(1) All 10 had Alex moving to the final, but only two – cjmhockey19 and The Bone – had them playing and beating Northern Lakes to get there. Neither, however, guessed the score.
(2) All but 1 had the Otters winning, and on this one we had two correct scores: puckdreams and The Bone. Nice!
6A Final
#1 Alexandria vs. #2 Fergus Falls @7:00pm on 2/11/16 at MAC St. Cloud
8A
8A Semifinals – Upper Bracket
#1 Warroad 10, #4 Detroit Lakes 1
8A Semifinals – Lower Bracket
#3 East Grand Forks 0,
#2 Thief River Falls 5
Notes:
(1) No surprise as everyone saw this for the mismatch that it turned out to be. No correct scores, but three did have the Warriors scoring 8.
(2) Three points for all as the unanimous prediction of #1 meeting #2 in the final will come true. But again no correct scores as everyone had the Green Wave scoring at least 1.
8A Final
#1 Warroad vs. #2 Thief River Falls @7:00pm on 2/11/16 at REA Thief River Falls
And in our contest we have mnhockey3535 taking over sole possession of 1st Place, with both cjmhockey19 and massalsa right on his heels, just two points behind:
1. mnhockey3535 - 79
2. cjmhockey19 - 77
massalsa - 77
4. hugo_lucas - 75
5. puckdreams - 74
6. wolfman - 73
spars46 - 73
8. sinbin - 71
9. MNHockeyFan - 69 (barely avoiding the "One with..."
10. Knight7 - 68
11. One with 66
12. One with 64
13. One with 60
No Class A games on Wednesday, but all of the remaining section championships will be decided on Thursday the 11th. With each game worth 5 points (and 7 with a correct score) this thing is far from over!
1A – Northfield vs. Owatonna
2A – New Prague vs. Mound Westonka
4A – St. Paul United vs. South St. Paul
5A – Blake vs. Breck
6A – Alexandria vs. Fergus Falls
7A – Proctor/Hermantown vs. Hibbing/Chisholm
8A – Warroad vs. Thief River Falls
Best of luck to all the players and coaches!
Especially bad news for the 9 of us who had the Wingers winning the section…
