Chaska/ Chan should be a great game today as well.

Something just seems off at Edina. I think they win, but I think White Bear Lake gives them a great deal of anxiety tonight.

I hear ya. I don't think any teams in this years tournament are truly safe. I guarantee there will be some scores that surprise everyone, even tonight. It's going to be a heck of a tournament.

Not sure about that. Shakopee gave up 7 to Eden Prairie, 7 to Wayzata, and 12 to Edina. That implies to me that if they are on, they are pretty good.

Shakopee seems to have an awful lot in common with last year's state champ, Centennial. Very similar option offense and stout defense.

Wisconsin seeds by a computer program and it's absurd. The team who has been ranked #1 all season in Division 3 are a 5-seed and must go on the road for their first playoff game.

A few years ago I was coaching a high school basketball game and we were up 50. In the second half one of my players made a basket cut and was wide open. Her teammate did not pass her the ball as I instructed them there was only one or two specific way they could score, and this was not one of...

I have a sneaky feeling the Edina-White Bear Lake game will be a lot closer than people may assume.

Very true. Anytime I hear someone complain about a lopsided score, i simply ask when they pulled their starters. I've been on both ends of ass whoopings and sometimes there's nothing you can do but chew on your nails and hope the clock keeps running.

Any coach who says. "we need to give the kids enough reps to get them ready for the next round" is not good. Executing against significantly inferior teams usually does not improve anything and can actually reinforce poor technique. Iron, not butter, sharpens iron. Not to mention, you are...

In 6A: Wayzata @ Lakeville South Mayo @ Centennial Rosemount @ Blaine Prior Lake @ Farmington

I don't disagree with that.

Coon Rapids made it to the 5A State Semis in 2019.

This is exactly it. Kids from economically disadvantaged families often do not participate in youth sports or off-season training programs. Two factors are involved; cost and transportation. It's no coincidence that in the Twin Cities metro, the schools that are most successful in almost all...

Every Metro south team that did not play a relief team lost this week, not good.

With all due respect, Prior Lake is not a bad 6A team. Their district is really tough. They could legitimately be anywhere from 4-2 to 6-0 with a Metro South or Metro East schedule.

Care to give us even a little insight.....

Has there been any discussion of a 2nd high school in the Wayzata district? A high school of well over 4,000 kids would be unprecedented in Minnesota.

Enrollment and Low-income levels by schools from the Metro-West district (via greatschools.org): Eden Prairie: 2,833 Students/ 31% low income Edina: 2,720 Students/ 20% low income Minnetonka: 3,508 Students/ 11% low income Prior Lake: 2,857 Students/ 18% low income Shakopee: 2,770 Students/...
