CLASS AA | CLASS A
1. | St. Thomas Academy 10-4-0 1/27 at Hill-Murray 1/29 Richfield - Proved their worthiness at the top by defeating #3A and the two-time defending state champions Breck School |
2. | Hermantown 15-1-1 1/25 at Proctor 1/29 at New Prague - Bad loss to a good Class AA team in Bemidji and thought about putting them behind Breck School but Breck has had two bad losses against good AA teams. |
3. | Breck School 9-5-0 1/25 at Totino-Grace 1/27 at Blake School 1/29 St. Paul Saints - Lost to #1A St. Thomas Academy after leading STA into the third period |
4. | Blake School 13-2-2 1/27 Breck School 1/29 St. Paul Johnson - Breck/Blake clash on Thursday, the Bears still undefeated against Class A teams |
5. | Totino-Grace 12-2-0 1/25 Breck School 1/27 Spring Lake Park 1/29 at Edina - Ugly loss to Class AA Benilde-St. Margaret's last week but defeated Duluth Marshall and Chisago Lakes Area before that, face #3A Breck School on Tuesday night |
6. | South St. Paul 11-5-0 1/25 Spring Lake Park 1/29 at North St. Paul - After losing good prospects Austyn Young and Adam Wilcox to the junior level this year, the Packers should have Packed in but I like this team |
7. | Little Falls 12-2-2 1/25 at Sartell-St. Stephen 1/27 at Fergus Falls 1/29 St. Cloud Cathedral - Lost to an up-and-rising 6A contender in Willmar last week. I don't see the Flyers going 3-0 this week against some decent teams |
8. | Hibbing/Chisholm 12-6-1 1/28 Greenway - Lost three of their last four games but the one win was against 7A rival Virginia/MIB |
9. | Duluth Marshall 10-7-1 1/25 at Cloquet/Esko/Carlton 1/28 at Warroad 1/29 at Thief River Falls - Ugly record, tough schedule, good team |
10. | Rochester Lourdes 14-2-0 1/25 at New Prague 1/27 at New Ulm 1/29 at Faribault - Great record but have not beaten anyone good outside of Section 1A and Delano/Rockford so #10 may even be a bit generous, lost to #9A Duluth Marshall 5-1 |
Honorable mention: Virginia/MIB, Thief River Falls, Delano/Rockford, Providence Academy, Warroad, Proctor, Chisago Lakes Area |
