AA Top picks:
1. EP/HFC
2. Shako/PL (trap game?)
3. Totino/Champlin
4. SLP/Holy Angels
5. Cretin/Park

HFC or Cretin could make an argument for best 5 seed in AA.

A Top picks;
1- #3 La Crescent vs #6 Winona
Lancers and Winhawks are long time rivals. Winona as a 6 seed won 16 games and this is a great QF
2- #4 Mankato West vs #5 Marshall
These two played an OT classic in last years 3A QF looking similar here
3- #3 Mankato East vs #6 MN River
Mankato has a good back to back double header as MN River comes in off blowing up #19 Dodge could be fun one
4- #2 Dodge County vs #7 Waseca
Waseca is a year away from contending in 1A playing 8 9th graders this year but only lost 2-1 to DC in the season
5- #4 Detroit Lakes vs #5 Crookston
This should be a good battle with both teams being young and wanting a win to build on for future in 8A

#8 Bloomington Kennedy is doing a tremendous disservice to the '87 team. Just saying.

Think I will check out the rubber match between Park and CDH. Took me 20 minutes to figure out where to purchase the little square on my phone but I’m good.

Goaltending the difference in this one.
Depth as well. Parks top line pretty much gassed late.

EP 6 HF 2

Expected a better game from HF, but EP was much more battle tested and dominated the entire game. Seems like HF’s game plan of trying to knock Moe out early backfired as EP got fired up and scored shortly after…

EP vs Tonka on Saturday, no guaranteed win for the Skippers.

Oof...yeah, that was a swing and a miss. I put the jinx on these games. Good win for Cretin though.

Agreed. HF just came out flat and never really got going. If EP can play a similar game plan against Tonka (particularly no parades to the box), it could be interesting.
