State tournament playoffs

[IFallsRon]

First-round games begin tonight. I'm picking Roseau in AA and the Falls in A.

You can find brackets at mshsl.org.

[vitalshot5]

It's just section playoffs starting not state......long ways to goto get to state.

[maros91]

Girls Hockey is this weekend. My buddy is head coach for Elk River. Go Elks!!!

[colonel42]

I agree with the AA Roseau but the Falls has a tough task at hand. Virginia, Marshall and Hibbing. I went to the IF vs HIB game and was not impressed with the Falls. Hibbing whooped them pretty easy. Maybe the Falls had a bad night or Hibbing just had a good night. The sad thing is any team in the section 7a can win. Go Bluejackets!!!

[Quackaddict9]

I am hoping for a back to back title for Roseau but they need to win sections first then get past two teams at state to the finals and maybe they'll see Edina, Minnetonka in the finals. Class A, I think Warroad will be done after the quarterfinals. I' Falls is a good choice to win for Class A

[vermilionwally]

I dont think the falls will be able to get past duluth marshall and they will have their hands full tonight with hibbing. While were on the subject how about Cec knocking off Duluth east 6-5 today in the 7AA semifinals. Go jacks!!

[vermilionwally]

Looks like the falls are out.

[IFallsRon]

Ouch. I guess they left it all on the ice v. Ely.

[dfricke1010]

Anyone else seeing Burnsville pullin another upset this year and beat Edina to go to state?

[so haaad]

Anything can happen. Edina is pretty darn good though.

[IFallsRon]

Roseau (28-0) is in. I see that two schools that "don't recruit" are in the A tournament: Duluth Marshall and St. Cloud Cathedral.

[backstrap]

Will Little Falls get a win this year at the tourney? Anyone see many Section 6A games this year? Word is it's a bit soft.

[ANYFISH]

Watched many LF games this years, sect 6 is not the toughest by any means but with Alex, Fergus Falls, and to a lesser extent Apollo, it does still have good competion. I do think LF deserved a seed in the tournament, but in turn ended up drawing St. Thomas Academy #1 seed in class A. It will be a tough game but LF is good enough to beat them and anyone in class A, Have to beat the best to be the best, the Flyers will make noise.

GO FLYERS!!

(I maybe slightly bias)

[backstrap]

Alex and Fergus are both weak teams IMO. The Fergus program went downhill shortly after going to single A and leaving Section 8 when they played solid teams like Bemidji,Moorhead,TRF,Warroad, and Roseau just to name a few. Don't be fooled by their state tourney births. I wish the tourney was still only one class. I hope your Flyers do knock off St. Thomas, but it'll be a tall order.

[Team Otter]

All-North Champions this year...

Warroad in 'A' and Roseau in 'AA'.

[vermilionwally]

As long as no private schools win it i will be happy. That being said lets go CEC!!!

[maros91]

I like to see the northern teams win also. I will pick STA in class "A" and Roseau in "AA". I would like to see Warroad win it all in "A".

[IFallsRon]

You can listen to the games on 660 AM. They've got a pretty strong signal.

[Crappiechaser]

Mankato west all the way!!!!

[IFallsRon]

Mankato West. That's optimism.

[so haaad]

Yes, definitely a lot of optimism.

Roseau and Edina would be a great AA championship game. Classic pretty city team vs small-nordern-minnesoda-town-you-know.

[so haaad]

Anyone else going to the games on Thursday? I'm in for the whole day.

[slim1]

I can't believe Litch/D-C made it they got in on riding a hot goalie, they will need more then that in the next game I'm afraid. True cinderella's go Dragons!

[vermilionwally]

Im in thursday too for the first session anyway i dont know if there will be tickets left for the second session or not and i already got one for the first session.

[Team Otter]

A team can go a long way on a hot goalie. Look at the Mighty Ducks a few years back.
