Commentary
Not many games played by T10 teams last week. Unranked Rosemount wins the First Test last weekend in EP...they impressed us in Moorhead. Speaking of Moorhead, the vaunted Spuds fell Saturday to Grand Forks in a rematch of the Blue Ox final.
With the formation of high school teams complete, some teams will slowly fall due to players moving up.

Feel like a casino dealer each week with the top four PWAA teams. Shuffle, shuffle....shuffle.
Tonka ends a Woodbury 10 game win streak defeating the Preds 7-1 in the First Test finals Sunday. Donovan Klin's return to the Skipper lineup meant crazy production for the top-ranked team.
Moorhead has emerged as the top candidate for the fifth spot. After a rough loss to start the Pumpkin, the Spuds have gone 13-2 to right the ship.

Still very early in the season for an accurate ranking...but here goes. Chaska Chan wins the Brick City Sunday, going 5-0 on the weekend. Noah Schneider had 21 points in five games.
Word on the street is Minnetonka is the team to beat. With only one game of data, we slotted the Skippers at #4.
