Commentary

Some minor adjustments since our last posting Thursday. Edina holds down #1 with with a road tie at Grand Rapids and three wins over the weekend. Great reviews on Grand Rapids as well has them at 2 and Centennial at 3. All three have number 1 skill. Reminds of last year's top three all year: Elk River, Eden Prairie and Stillwater. Elk River and Prior Lake are playing well...seem to be the current next in line behind Minnetonka.

Commentary

Apple Valley and Johnson Como NSP played Sunday. The Score was "posted" as a 111 to 5 win for Apple Valley. YHH is assuming the score to be 5-1 in favor of JCNSP. If this assumption is an error, we will flip the #2 and #3 teams. Sartell and MAML look to clash in District 5 all year, as do Burnsville and Edina in D6. Orono seems to be the class of the state so far.

Prior Lake winners of Albert Lea Tourney

Prior Lake is treating the Bantam B level like it's own chew toy. Beating teams by an average of nearly 5 goals. The only team to beat them, Stillwater is right behind them at #2. A few good teams without an AA/A team in the top 10. North Branch, Pine City and North Metro will be tough teams all year. Early data shows a lot of one and two loss team as far down as #21 in the NOW Rankings. This tells us that the foundation is anything but firm at this level. Watch out Prior Lake!
