Commentary

The YHH word of the day is....muddled. 

Muddled;  defined as in a state of bewildered or bewildering confusion or disorder.

Pretty much sums up the three teams in the middle...OMG, Edina and White Bear Lake. 

Edina loses to EP, but beats OMG
OMG loses to Edina, but beats WBL
WBL goes 1-4-2

Roseville wins seven in a row and now sits at #6.

Go Figure.

The top three teams at the BA level stay the same in the rankings this week. Woodbury moves up one spot this week to No. 4; the Predators are 6-0-2 since the new year. Mound Westonka gets ranked for the first time this year and hasn’t lost a game since December 6th.

Commentary

The top five remains unchanged this week at Bantam B. One notable result from last week is No. 1 Prior Lake defeated No. 2 Edina White 6-1. Minneapolis Grey gets a nice bump to up three spots to No. 6. The Storm are currently on a seven-game win streak. Prairie Centre is a non-metro team to watch for the rest of the season; the North Stars join our rankings for the first time this season at No. 8.

Commentary

Absolute lunacy this week at PeeWee AA. One fan asked me, "Tony, how will you do it this week?"

It wasn't easy.

Centennial may be the first below .500 team in YHH history to be T10. Recent wins over WBL, Blaine and Elk River gets the Cougars to 10, 

Former number one EGF falls to Moorhead. The Spuds are headed in right direction.

When you have 9 of the top 10 teams in the state in your event...the team's finish makes the rankings pretty self-explanatory.

Hats of to all of the players and their hard work over the weekend. The Championship teams had amazing wins in the semifinals and put on a great show in the championship game in front of a packed house and over 1,000 live streamed viewers Sunday afternoon. 

Pat Mahomes, meet Dain Hensler!
