Hornet duo lead Bantam scoring pack 

It should come as no surprise that one of the state's largest associations has talent beyond the AA and A levels. Such is the case for the Edina White Bantam B squad, which features the two leading scorers for the Gobbler's Bantam Division. 

Riley Kieffer and Ronan Kirvida are tied at five points apiece, with each player tallying three goals and two assists through two Hornet victories. The Hornets will take on the Neebing (ON) Hawks on Saturday after defeating Blaine 7-4 and Woodbury 5-2. 

Prior Lake, Mankato square off in Game of the Day 

Both the Lakers and Mavericks are 2-0 heading into Saturday, and these two of the state's top Bantam B squads will go head-to-head at 12:30 PM for the top spot in Pool C. 

The Mavericks are led in scoring by high-flying Xavier Lauwagie, who has four goals in two wins over Edina Green and Centennial, and goaltender Andrew King has been perfect through six periods. 

Joey Volp, Henry Norby, and Jake Bloom all have three points for the 2-0 Lakers, who blanked Centennial 5-0 and edged Edina Green 3-1 in their previous games. 

Wayzata will face Neebing in semifinals, Prior Lake to take on Eden Prairie 

A 5-0 win over Chaska/Chanhassen sent the Trojans to Sunday's semifinal round, a rebound win after falling to Lakeville North in the previous game. Jesse Larose leads the Trojans in scoring with two goals and four points. 

After losing to Woodbury 3-2, Neebing bounced back with wins over Blaine 7-2 and Edina White 6-2. Walker Holowanky is the leader in the clubhouse with four goals and seven points for the Hawks. 

District 6 rivals Prior Lake and Eden Prairie will battle in the other semifinal, with both teams bringing 3-0 records to the table. The Lakers have outscored their opponents 13-1 in three games, and are led by Jake Bloom (four goals, five points). 

Eden Prairie is looking for its second straight Bantam B Gobbler title after beating White Bear Lake 3-2, Minnetonka 4-1, and Andover 7-0. Five players have three points each for the Eagles, and the leading scorer is Brayden Keck with four total points. 

District 6 dominant in Peewee Division 

Of the four pools in the Gobbler's Peewee Division, three are currently led by District 6 teams. Minnetonka is tops in Pool A at the moment, Prior Lake is 2-0 in Pool C, and Edina Green is undefeated in Pool D. The lone outlier is White Bear Lake, which is currently 2-0 in Pool B. 

Minnetonka and White Bear Lake punch semifinal tickets 

Minnetonka went 3-0 during pool play to earn a spot in Sunday's semifinals, defeating Rogers 3-1, Roseville 5-0, and Osseo-Maple Grove 4-2. The Skippers are led offensively by Liam Hardie and Caden Krieger, who had each totaled four points through three games. 

White Bear Lake outscored its Pool B opponents by a combined score of 14-3 en route to a 3-0 record thus far, beating Wayzata and Edina Green 4-1 and then thumping Blaine 6-2. Like Minnetonka, the Bears are led by an offensive duo in Jonah Siverson and Raymond Battaglia. Both Siverson and Battaglia have five points, while Rylen Donohoo and Noah Elbaz each have four.

Prior Lake, Edina Green round out Peewee playoffs
