Carson Brodt with GWG for MVI Saturday
Joe Greniuk scores GWG Saturday for Elk River...they face Edina Sunday for
PWAA Owatonna was the site of the biggest upset of the weekend, likely the year. Prior Lake, the 12th seed beat #1 rated Osseo Maple Grove 5-4. Ben Monson had the GWG for the Lakers who will face Wayzata Sunday to punch their straight trip to state. Edina and EP have held serve so far as #1 seeds in their regions. The Hornets will face Elk River and EP will get Apple Valley. PCG and CC will face off for a spot in the afternoon play-in game against the EP/AV loser. In Roseau, Duluth East got by Rapids (and the world feels safe again) and Cloquet took care of business. The surprise was #6 Rapids losing to host Roseau Saturday ending their season. The Rams will get a re-match with Moorhead for a shot at the Cloquet East loser for the final spot at state.
PWA Some great region finals on Sunday, but none bigger than JCNSP challenging Mounds View Irondale in Cottage Grove. JCNSP snuck past feisty OMG and MVI got a goal by Carson Brodt to beat #1 rated Mound Westonka. All four of those teams in the East have a shot at state in Coleraine. North Branch looks to be the favorite in Proctor, they face North Shore. Mankato and Faribault will battle for the South #1 seed, while the loser will face the winner of Shakopee and Edina.
PWB Edina has ruled the South region so far, both Green and White have won by a combined 45-6 in their first four cumulative games. They meet again on Sunday...the loser will likely face Tonka for the last spot to state. No surprises in the other three regions except maybe Red Lake Falls beating Morris Benson - that caught us off guard. MB will have to fight through the back door to make it. Champlin and Elk River seem to be spoiling the party for the other six north teams in Chisholm.
