Top two individuals advance to state for each weight, but you can bet if football got the top two to state that hockey, basketball, wrestling, and every other team sport would follow. It works for football, but would be a hard sell for other sports that play their tournament over 3 days.
I was able to play in the Section Championship at the FargoDome in 1995. We were getting a few inches of snow that day and it was really windy/cold. It would have been miserable to play outside in those conditions.
Quite a few games were played in Vermillion at the Dakota Dome and Cedar Falls at the Unidome.
Yes, that's why I hedged and said "pretty much all".
Very strange but Fargo dome gives the sections a great deal and they’re indoors.
That was my freshman year at UND. A decent amount of snow during the winter, but I remember bitter cold, and there was a huge snow/ ice storm around Spring Break that did added a lot of precip at the tail end of the thawing season. About a month later the entire campus was evacuated. Luckily I had all As at the time, so I got a 4.0 without having to take a final!
Not sure Edina over Eagan would really qualify as an upset since Edina is the higher ranked of the two and already beat Eagan once this year. But I guess purely in terms of seeds it would be a case of the lower seed winning.
Yep, I was just going by seeding. I also find the North-Champlin game intriguing. I hear, which I assume to be true, that Champlin Park has had some key guys return from injuries the past couple weeks.
Grant started in '93, just sayin.
I moved to EP in 1996. I started that year. I did not see any Forest Lake games, just EP.
No, he coached at Forest Lake until 1992.
Forest Lake fans and others treated him pretty badly from what I heard many years ago. It appeared that the players couldn't handle hard work and change for a while.
Grant was the EP coach for several years before I moved to EP in 1996. Hope that clarifies everything.
EP loses by three touchdowns. Y’all ball coach historically has had better players than everybody else those days aren’t gone.
I played for Grant at FL.
I believe it's Sections 1-4 South and Sections 5-8 North.
The pundits all agree that its going to be a blowout in favor of MG. As my old ball coach from the late sixties used to say, a former Marine, that's why you suit up and play the game. Should EP lose I believe it will be Coach Grant's first four loss team since he came to EP. Can someone confirm this? I remember Lakeville when they had Callendar had Grant's number, losing twice in one year, and Grant lost two in a row when Dan Fisher went down with an injury, but I don't ever recall a four loss season.
3 losses in 2022 and 2019 is all I could find.
My mistake. Grant left FL after the 1991 season (class of 1992) to go to EP. Fall of 1992 was his first year at EP.
