MINNESOTA REPORTS
SECTION RESULTS
Last night, thanks to the readers, we had 5 out & abouts up. It wasn't a great day to be #1. Two top seeds fell in AAAA, one in AAA. In class A Maranatha fell. The big news was Osseo's upset of Centennial. Three teams are in the AAAA tournament. This is how I see the seeds as of today
1. Mpls South
2. St. Paul Central
3. Eastview or Park-Cottage Grove
4. Kennedy or Chaska
5. Osseo
6. St. Cloud Tech*
7. St. Francis*
8. Rochester JM*
* provided they win.

TODAY
BEST BET
St. Olaf hosts two great AAAA match ups today. At 6 it will be Park-Cottage Grove vs Eastview. Their first meeting was an overtime win for Eastview. At 8 it is Chaska vs Bloomington Kennedy. This will be the rubber game. All these teams have been top 10 all year. At least I won't have to travel and miss any action today.
AAA
5: Three on a match is tough (ask Centennial) so Rogers has their work cut out against defending champ Becker. That contest is at St. John's.
AA
6: West Central is relying on their defense tonight against Albany. From the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.
A
2: There is only one unbeaten team left in the state and that is GHEC. The face Cedar Mountain-Comfrey tonight in Mankato. From the Fairmont Sentinel.
3: It will be RTR vs SW Star in Marshall tonight. From the Marshall Independent.
6: Hancock and Ada-Borup were in the state this year. Only one gets to punch a ticket tonight. Hancock had the win in the state semis last year. From the West Central Tribune.
