bb's JGA Weekly Top 10

Post by blueblood »

Here is my top JGA top 10 for the week of 12-13-10:

1) Edina - until they lose; they are #1
2) Wayzata - won the Ft Frances tournamant & beat Burnsville this week
3) Tonka - off to a strong start at 5-1. Finished 3rd in Spirit of Duluth (SOD) after loss to Thunder Bay.
4) EP - good start of 3-0-1 in SD tourney this past weekend to finish 2nd
5) Burnsville - 2 ties and a 1 goal loss to Wayzata in League play. Beat Grand Rapids twice.
6) Jefferson - won their SOD pool and played Thunder Bay in finals
7) Duluth - lost two, one goal games to Thunder Bay and Tonka in the SOD with a few missing players
8) Wessy - Finished 2nd in the SD tourney with a 3-1 record. They lost to the one common opponent they had with EP.
9) WBL - lost to Tonka in 3rd place game at SOD
10) Lakeville - followed up bad loss to Tonka with a 4-4 tie to Burnsville

Outside looking in:

Stillwater went 1-1-1 in SOD pools; lost to WBL and tied BJ
SLP/Benilde - tied Burnsville; no tough teams until late December

The Tonka tourney this weekend will really give me an idea of who are the teams to beat at JGA this season.

The QF matchups are as follows:

Tonka vs. Lakeville
Wazata vs. Ft Frances
Edina vs. Duluth
EP vs. WBL

My QF picks:

Tonka over Lakeville
Wayzata over Ft. Frances
Edina over Duluth
EP over WBL

My semifinal picks:
Wayzata over Tonka
Edina over EP

Finals:
Wayzata over Edina - repeat champs

3rd place:
Tonka over EP

eh true i have been a jr gold follower since my son played a few years ago. But the team looked good tonight. Stillwater came at them the 1st period, but tonka woke up in the second scoring 4, and hitting post 4 times, and another 5 in the third. And I have never seen such a hostile crowd! tonka really has a fan base.
