I know, and obviously they need to have cut lines in place as a guide because of how many classes there are. I just believe that the common perception is more people in your school automatically gives you every advantage over someone else. The “football is a numbers game” cliche leads to a...

It’s the only box the MSHSL wants to acknowledge. It’s not actually the most important one.

I hear you on the athletic enrollment number, but both Lakeville schools check all the other boxes that show they belong in the largest class. No question about it.

Agreed. Hastings is the last what I would call non-big school to win the largest class, in 2000 or 2001. Obviously before 6A was created.

Nobody is equipped to stop the passing game the way Moorhead runs it. And if it’s 3rd and 5, they just hit Mack on a slant or hitch and it’s money.

South did exactly what MG defense was susceptible too. Not only big and physical, but with the deception to make it unstoppable. I thought Tonka would do the same thing but MG slowed them down I believe because Tonka was so easy to read. Never would have expected this game to wind up that out of...

Do all 8 coaches vote? I assume just the 4 coaches from the North vote those 4 teams and the coaches from the South vote on just theirs?

I don’t know how other states handle the quarterfinal round…neutral sites? My guess is the biggest challenge would be scheduling further in advance. The college stadium idea is good, but that might be cost prohibitive. I did notice that Eastview is hosting the same quadrant they were playing in...

I think the only one I’d hedge on here is Shako instead of Centennial, but it seems like a coin flip game for sure.

This was interesting. In Illinois it looks like the main concern was public vs. private… not exactly the big focus here in MN although with open enrollment widely available, it kind of has the same impact. Schools with more affluent parents equals more opportunity, more time to contribute, and...

All 6A games are tonight, there must be a typo on the date somewhere.

The unusual thing about this year is it’s not very linear, more A beat B and B beat C and C beat A than it seems like normally happens.

I can’t argue with the math involved in wins and losses. I agree that the 6A ban on playing anyone in another class is stupid, but my guess is that when they created 6A, that was a stipulation by the teams left in 5A. I have no knowledge about it whatsoever, but we can all agree that teams 17-32...

Did Feeney play for the Spuds last night?

Wayzata should attack them with the quick passing game and their nice receivers, but regardless of how they approach offense, I don’t think they can slow down the Tonka run game.

I’m biased toward them, but I think it’s a total coin flip with MG and Tonka. The next 3-4 teams in the hunt are also very capable.

That Andover game was insane; clearly they’ve given up a lot of points, week after week. Didn’t really realize it until it’s listed like this…

The MSHSL has 6 different brackets that contain the different combinations for the 32 team playoff. The last 2 previously used ones are supposed to be ineligible for use, so there are basically 4 in play for each given year and 1 is randomly drawn. Connected people have all 6 templates and know...

Moorhead QB did not play yet. He would absolutely make a difference, but from what I have observed watching a couple Moorhead games is that their defense will have a hard time slowing down those top end offenses, especially on the ground.

There are lot of weeks where those of us who watch closely could shake our heads at the AP poll, I just take those with a big grain of salt…
