First round of A tournament:
Winners 29 Losers 3
The first round of AA has to have closer games, right?!?! I hope I don't sit through 3 blowouts today (The Hemantown - Virginia game was good)! The only game that has a potential would be the Minnetonka game.
One of the best days of the year today!

Re: Hoping for closer games today...
AA state tourney is a little more balanced than A so they "should" be closer games (im saying two blowouts Tonka and Edina) the semis for A might be decent, now that the crap teams are out of the waySEMinnyHCKY wrote:First round of A tournament:

The Breck over New Ulm blowout was expected by everybody - the only surprise was that it took so long for Breck to score. I had the over/under at 2 minutes.
I was surprised and disappointed that Lourdes did not do better against Warroad, thought they were a better team than what they showed last night. Or maybe Warroad is a lot better than expected....
On paper all of the AA games should be good ones, except Minnetonka-Lakeville which could get ugly. If they seeded all 8 teams this is the type of opening day matchup you'd get every year.

Well.. I think adding to the blowouts is that one player or one line is so superior, it's hard to stop.
Breck has the Fulton line, Warroad with Nelson, Mahtomedi with Marshall, Zurn and Adams. The best game??.. each team had a star player that neutralized each other in Hendrickson and Krause, with the star Krause getting the game winner.
And yes, the depth of the Twin Cities schools will show on the top 6, 7 teams in AA.
