Commentary
Without a state champ crowned, our staff set out to choose final rankings based on many factors (head-to-head, body of work and final 10 games). Bantam AA was one of the most difficult levels to choose a #1. OMG met all of the criteria..their mid-season win over SSM was the deciding factor.
Best Game: Hermantown over Moorhead III - With a state berth on the line, Hermantown gets a late Zam Plante goal to lift the Hawks to state.
Longest Unbeaten Streak - Hermantown (18)

Commentary
Without a state champ crowned, our staff set out to choose final rankings based on many factors (head-to-head, body of work and final 10 games). Yes, Warroad lost to Alex in December. But it was the Warriors only loss of the year to "A" team. Both teams end season with 17 game win streaks. Warriors get the nod based on body of work.
Longest Undbeaten Streak - Warroad, Alexandria (17)

OMG Black was one of three OMG Bantam teams to punch ticket to state - these Leafbirds were #4 in the state.
Commentary
Without a state champ crowned, our staff set out to choose final rankings based on many factors (head-to-head, body of work and final 10 games). Hard to argue with Stillwater's #1 ranking...the Ponies won a handful of tournaments, and swept their district and regions.
