Down goes Byron in rematch with Kasson Mantorville 31-28. Jackson 30-6 over LeSueur. JCC scored late in 2nd and was only up 8-0 at half.

Springfield loses to Murray County Central. 31-20.

At least Springfield doesn't have to worry about getting smoked by Minneota for second again.
 




Rochester Mayo 17
Northfield 7

3 TOs did the Raiders in as well as getting inside or near the Red Zone 4 times, but only scoring once.
 

Seeding is out. 9P to 5A splits and seeds 1-4 for North and South.

Can someone explain to me how Elk River got the 1 seed in the north!!??? For 5A.

1. Elk River has 2 losses Monticello by 8 (didn’t make it to state but really good team) and lost to Alexandria by 36.

2. Alexandria got the 2. Have 1 loss on a GW FG to Chan who is the 2 seed in the South. Once again they beat Elk River by 36!!!!!!!!

3. Spring lake Park, undefeated but had a perceived weaker schedule. But they are still undefeated.


How on earth did Elk River get the 1 seed. I want someone to explain the logic or an say a rule on aware of.

Unethical voting by the coach team not mentioned. Coaches can’t help themselves sometimes and vote based on who they want to play. This is one of the downsides of seeding by coaches.

Coaches vote bad
QRF worse
Committee by MSHSL double worse


So basically coaches vote is least bad option
 


That Elk River seed is absolutely horrendous. They got Mercy-ruled by Alexandria. The league letting that stand really undermines their credibility.

I was thinking the same about KM. It’s been 25 years since I was there, but the two combined were only 5k; last I knew Fergus was 10k or so?

Fergus pop has been inbetween 12-14k since 1950. Only just in 2020 did it (barely) top 14k.

Have to believe some number of those are claiming Fergus as their full time home but do not live there in winter? Granted similarly the pop may swell during the summer.

I've known people who live in Fergus or DL and commute to Fargo-Moorhead.
