Commentary

Pretty average week of results. The top teams went undefeated, the middle struggled and we welcome Andover back to the chat after the Huskies get a top-10 win over Edina. 

Just a few great teams this year at AA, but a bunch of very good ones. Both Lakevilles putting up nice wins just outside of the T10, White Bear has several T10 wins, the Bears are laying in the weeds and Shakopee is starting to turn the corner in the second half.
