Stats to chew on

Top 10 teams whose top three scorers average the most goals per game

1. Kittson County Central | 3.73 goals per game

- Craig Lindegard 44 goals
- Markas Dahl 22 goals
- Gabe Montoya 16 goals

Note: KCC's top three may score the most goals per game in the state but they rely on these three players too much for goal production. Those three score 67.2% of the teams goals. That is the fourth highest percentage out of 87 teams with a .500 record or better. A few teams near .500 were added as exceptions.

2. Detroit Lakes | 3.68 goals per game
- Tanner Lane 49 goals
- Nate Baker 22 goals
- Alex Phelps 21 goals

Note: The Lakers were eliminated by Willmar on Tuesday night. Detroit Lakes ranked 10th amongst the other 87 teams in relying on the top three to score goals. They were 59.7% of the teams goal production.

- Joey Benik 53
- TJ Belisle 26

Note: St. Francis is out of the playoffs too. The Saints top three goal scorers were responsible for 77.5% of all of their goal production. That is number one of the 87 teams in the state. The top three scored 3.44 goals per game and the rest of the team averaged just one goal per game.

5. Winona | 3.24 goals per game

Top 10 best goals per game average by a team after their top three

1 - Academy of Holy Angels: 3.96 goals per game (6.88 gpg overall - 2.92 gpg by top 3)
2 - Breck School: 3.88 gpg (7.40 gpg overall - 3.52 gpg by top 3)
3 - Minnetonka: 3.80 gpg (6.04 gpg overall - 2.24 gpg by top 3)
4 - Hill-Murray: 3.64 gpg (5.52 gpg overall - 1.88 gpg by top 3)
5 - Bloomington Jefferson: 3.32 gpg (5.64 gpg overall - 2.32 gpg by top 3)
6 - Moose Lake Area: 3.20 gpg (5.40 gpg overall - 2.20 gpg by top 3)
7 - Hermantown: 3.04 gpg (5.60 gpg overall - 2.56 gpg by top 3)
8 - Virginia/MIB: 2.92 gpg (5.36 gpg overall - 2.44 gpg by top 3)
9 - Spring Lake Park: 2.88 gpg (5.56 gpg overall - 2.68 gpg by top 3)
10 - North St. Paul: 2.87 gpg (5.04 gpg overall - 2.17 gpg by top 3)

Confused? Example: Holy Angels, as a team, averages 6.88 goals per game. The top three goal scorers for Holy Angels average 2.92 goals per game of the 6.88. The rest of the team averages 3.96 goals per game of that 6.88.

The above stats sort of tells me which teams have the better scoring depth beyond their top three goal scorers.
________________________________________________________

Top 10 worst goals per game average by a team after their top three

1 - Mound-Westonka: 0.92 gpg (2.12 gpg overall - 1.20 gpg by top 3)
2T - Red Wing: 1.00 gpg (3.16 gpg overall - 2.16 gpg by top 3)
2T - St. Francis: 1.00 gpg (4.44 gpg overall - 3.44 gpg by top 3)
4T - New Prague: 1.08 gpg (2.60 gpg overall - 1.52 gpg by top 3)
4T - Willmar: 1.08 gpg (3.58 gpg overall - 2.50 gpg by top 3)
6 - East Grand Forks: 1.16 gpg (3.52 gpg overall - 2.36 gpg by top 3)
7 - Fergus Falls: 1.33 gpg (3.12 gpg overall - 1.79 gpg by top 3)
8T - Duluth Denfeld: 1.40 gpg (3.40 gpg overall - 2.00 gpg by top 3)
8T - Delano/Rockford: 1.40 gpg (4.12 gpg overall - 2.72 gpg by top 3)
10T - Providence Academy: 1.46 gpg (3.58 gpg overall - 2.12 gpg by top 3)
10T - Hutchinson: 1.46 gpg (2.79 gpg overall - 1.33 gpg by top 3)

This basically tells me the lack the depth after the top three goal scorers for the above teams. Notice that St. Francis is the only Class AA team in the group. Hopkins (12th), Forest Lake (13th), and Cretin-Derham Hall (15th) were close.

Again, I only pulled stats for 87 teams, most were teams with a .500 record or above. There were two or three exceptions for teams just under a .500 record.
