Now it gets serious. One hiccup and goodbye. Interesting races for
#4 to #6 in AAAA. AAA is scrambled eggs as usual. AA was stable and there were slight adjustments to A.
Who are the led pipe cinches (LPC) to get to state? I count three: Forest Lake; Minnehaha; and Heritage Christian. There are several different possible avenues for every other section.

Notice how every week we lose one? So heading into state that would take the total to two.

ME & QRF
I tried to see all the 64 AAAA teams, but Ol’ Man Winter had other plans and torpedoed them on Wednesday. That was supposed to be the Osseo day. When the rescheduled for Thursday that put them in the same day as Jefferson. So, like the pioneers of old, I through out the piano to get over the mountains. I will only see 62 of the 64 AAAA teams. Lesson: get the AAAA teams wrapped up by February 1.
The hunt for the 100 is still on. I am down to two. Gone from the list this week Cromwell-Wright on Monday, Concordia Academy on Thursday and Heritage Christian on Saturday. I am secure in seeing the top 75. Right now, I am missing #95 and #99. I am not out of the woods with five teams bubbling under in the 101 to 110 category.
1-10 100%
1-25 100%
1-50 100%
1-75 100%
1-100 98%
1-125 88.8%
1-150 82.0%
