It's a Moorhead/Minnetonka world and the rest of Bantam AA is just living in it. The Skipper and Spuds have faced off twice in tournament title games and it's been a treat to watch. They face off again on December 20 in Moorhead.
Edina made a brief visit to the T10 party last week, they got leapfrogged by Lake Conference foe Wayzata this week. The Trojans had great results in Duluth.
Northfield is #4 after winning the SLP tournament Sunday

We have some shake up in the rankings this week and a new entrant into the Top 10. Warroad holds the top seed taking care of business this past week. Minnetonka falls down a few spots with a little bit of a rough week, falling to #3 Hopkins and #10 Bloomington Jefferson. Jefferson cracks into the Top 10 via that 5-0 win.

Minnetonka Blue retains the top spot this weekend but rest of the division beware of a strong #4 Cottage Grove team. Cottage Grove with the win over #1 Minnetonka Blue and #5 Minnetonka Black loss to Minnetonka Blue this feels justified in flipping these two. While Eden

The Spirit of Duluth usually marks the 1/3 mark of the PeeWee AA season. By now, coaching staffs know what they got. Some teams need goals and some teams need to figure out how to stop them.
The top three teams in NOW Rankings (OMG, CC and Edina) have score over 155 goals to start the season.

We are flipping Warroad and Woodbury this week based off of Woodbury's ties during the week. Warroad's tie was to AA Rock Ridge which feels better than ties against other Bantam A teams. We are moving Mankato down after losing to now #6 Minnetonka albeit a close 4-2 loss. All of the other teams did what we expect from them coming out with wins.

This is probably one of the harder divisions to rank. Everyone has a slip up here and there or teams havent played enough games still to provide data. Woodbury White was unblemished last week so they hold the #1 spot again this week. After that things get a little complicated, Prior Lake slides into the #2 spot after picking up two wins and Orono having a Tie and Loss on the week. Hermantown jumps Edina Green after a decent week.

If you have gotten this far down in the rankings scroll, your last name is Stewart or Poepl or you are curious how in the world Tony could choose the final 4 teams ranked 7 through 10.
Hastings wins the Spirit of Duluth backed by a stockade of Stewarts and couple Poepls. They beat five juggernaut youth programs (WBL, Elk River, Moorhead, OMG and Wayzata) to earn this week's #1 ranking.
The top six teams were easy to spot, but after those six is anyone's guess. Edina hosts their tournament this weekend, maybe we will find a district 6 team in the top ten next weekend?
