November 18 rankings and December 16 rankings should look very different 2-10. We expect Moorhead to lock down the top spot and 10-15 others battle it out for 2-10 the rest of the season.

We are hearing (and seeing) some high school departures that will greatly affect team results moving forward. 

So buckle up Bantam fans and get ready for a wild ride. 

Edina is the early top dog in Bantam A, the Hornets are the first team to 15 wins for the level. No. 4 Warroad is a team that is pushing themselves early with seven of their first nine games so far being against AA teams.

Number nine Albert Lea is a the best team from southern MN with no losses so far in the young season.

Prior Lake is the best team in the state, the Lakers have an average goal differential of 4.09 per game. Wayzata is the next closest team to the top spot this year. Number 10 Hermantown had a successful four game metro road swing this weekend beating Roseville, IGH/SSP, PCG and Rosemount. 

It's a 507 revival!

Three southern MN teams are standing out early; Austin is ranked No. 1 at 12-0, Mankato is ranked No. 4 at 5-0 and Marshall is ranked No. 6 at 8-0.

No. 1 Austin is dominating competition currently. The Packers have 101 goals for and 4 goals against.

Bloomington Jefferson is the leader of the pack in PWB in our first rankings installment of the new season. The Jaguars are 11-0-2 to start the year.

No. 7 Grand Rapids Orange is a team to watch out for this year as they have outscored their opponents 24-3 out of the gate.
