Who Who knows how each team will handle it. I assume Mahnomen has a pretty good system in place as they have been there several times. I'm sure the MSHSL has things in place for teams also if they need to stay the night before, again I am not sure of that though. Teams must stay for basketball...

About 2 hours after Mahnomen will

Staples best WR is a very good kicker and they also have 1 more kid that can kick extra points as well. Was strange to see them not try kick an extra point.

Qbs have worn different style pads for a long time. But all the shoulder pads now are minuscule in size compared to just a few year back. Go look at highlights of Randy Moss, his shoulder pads would be the largest worn in an NFL game today. They are still protective with the materials they are...

I think you are missing my point. I was just stating that some teams have an aura that opposing teams cant fight through. I am originally form the central part of the state and I watched several OTC teams show up and dominate bigger, faster, and more athletic teams because the opposition...

Barnseville currently and Caledonia, OTC years ago had teams beat before they got off the bus, That's where Minneota is also currently there. I don't want to try take anything away from those programs, I just think that kids enter those games not feeling they can come out with a win 99% of the time

Very well could be. Minneota is in that class of teams that win games when other schools look at the schedule... Kids look at games as an automatic loss. Bold is one of the only teams that looks at Minneota and is not scared to lace them up. If someone goes and plays a great game and gets a...

Mankato may not have turf but Marshall does so there options for the SW part of MN. Minneota and Bold played section 5A championship there

Again I think most teams, schools, coaches, family members don't care as much about the travel as they do the dates. 4 hour drives on Thursdays aren't the chore they are on Fridays. Some of it could have been solved by not setting dates at sites months in advance but telling host schools that...

I think of it from the host schools perspective also. Think if we have a week of wet weather leading up to a state tournament game your school is hosting. Now your playing surface has been basically ruined going into freeze up because of a game being played in the mud.

Thanks! Hope we aren't playing each other lol

Ill fully admit I was unaware of any games being played on Saturdays. I have coached in a game Thursday and boarded a bus at 8AM to play a game at 6PM a few years back. I will also be coaching in this years state tournament and if we win I will Definitly not be attending another game until I...

Yes it is. Totally get that we need to accommodate for that reason. I also have my suspicions about how much truth there is to it because of how few games and the different number of Thursday games each week Week 1 is strange with teams opting to play Thursday so its about a 50/50 split Week 2...

Not in the area I am from. Any out state games played on Thursdays result in school out early for football players, and tired kids at school Friday. Not to mention in small schools having to get volleyball players out early so visiting team can have a locker room. I get a lot of people have no...

Might be valid reasons if Class A, Class 3A teams play Thursday, then all games in class following Saturday... 3 games scheduled for Thursday 11-14 at US Bank - 14 Games scheduled 11-7 (28 of the remaining 56 team play Thursday) Only 3 games scheduled at same venue for Thursday 11-7 and...

IMHO its more that we are playing games on Thursday than the distance traveled. A game on a Friday evening and long travel fine, a game on Thursday and long travel, now were are messing with 2 days of school and work... Why dpses MN love non Friday night games??? Its like MSHSL takes some...

Sure, but the MSHSL are making sure that these schools don't have much for a crowd. Look at some of these Thursday games... Thursday night at Rock Ridge in Virginia. Parkers Prairie and Upsala Swanville, 2 schools that were in the same conference just a few years back and are omly 40 miles...

Coaches seeding so there can be some shenanigans that can be played to try help a matchup

MSHSL with another great showing of not caring about MN 'STUDENT" athletes... Why are any of these games played on Thursday, and try not make it about revenue. Many teams are going to travel 2+ hours on a Thursday night and have school in the morning. If it wasn't just about the almighty...

With each class being seeded now at the state tournament, Do we know where the lines are for North and South? Is it set by sections, for example 1,2,3,4 are north and 5,6,7,8 in the South? Those are just numbers to show what I was meaning.
