WEEK THAT WAS

UNBEATEN

We are down to three. Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s fell to Central MN Christian 74-70 on the road Saturday night leaving Mountain Iron-Buhl alone for unblemished in A. Two remain in AA still.

Total undefeated left: 3

AAAA: 0

AAA: 0

AA: 2 Menahga; New London-Spicer

Leaving the list none

A: 1  Mountain Iron-Buhl;

Leaving the list: Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s

What about the flip side of this? The winless? Here are the “sweet” 16 hoping to stumble onto victory.

My expectations are that A will have several and we may not see any movement at the AAA or AA levels.

Leaving the lists below this week only took place in A:

LeRoy-Ostrander went south to Riceville, Iowa for their win on Friday 57-37.

AAAA: 0

AAA: 2 North Branch; Sauk Rapids-Rice

AA: 3 Albert Lea; Redwood Valley; Parnassus

A: 11 Madelia; Red Rock Central; Browerville-Eagle Valley; Ortonville; Verndale; Bigfork; and smaller charter/privates Lincoln International; MN Transitions; St. John’s Prep; Fond du Lac Ojibwe, and Community School of Excellence

STREAKING

The only change is that MIB created some separation with NRHEG and is alone in first right now. SESM fell on Saturday so left the list. Everyone else is the same, but more wins in the column.

AAAA: 18 Rochester Mayo

AAA: 17 Stewartville

AA: 19 New London-Spicer

A: 19 Mountain Iron-Buhl

PROLIFIC OFFENSE

Here is something new.. a list of high scoring offenses (and below that stingy defenses)

AAAA 82.0 Rochester Mayo

AAA 87.5 Hill-Murray

AA 93.3 Providence

A: 86.4 Kelliher/Northome

AIR TIGHT DEFENSE

AAAA 43.2 Rochester Mayo

AAA 40.3 Northfield

AA 37.5 Menahga

A 26.0 Metro Schools College Prep

The lessons?

All four leaders in offense are ranked in the top 10. Not so in Defense. No one would claim Metro Schools College Prep is the “best” defense out there. The other three are ranked, or undefeated (Menahga). But the Braves are playing A teams despite being placed in AA.

QUEST FOR…

QRF

A disaster for not seeing a game this week. Illness, Car issues and then family obligations curtailed my viewing schedule.

Biggest fish not seen? Still #26 Woodbury

10: 10/10—-1.000

25: 25/25—1.000

50: 47/50—.940

75: 65/75—.867

100: 76/100—.760

125: 79/125—.640

150: 83/150—.553

175: 84/175—.480

TOP 10S

It was a week of no games for me due to a variety of reasons. Missing seven. And will be missing seven for the next month. I should be able to be out & about this week however.

AAAA: 10/10-1.000

AAA: 10/10-1.000

AA: 8/10 .800

A: 5/10-.500

Overall, it is 32/40 or .825 no change.

#1S IN EACH SECTION

Without seeing a game I improved one spot this week. How? BOLD moved into the #1 spot in 2A after Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s lost. Now just missing eight.

AAAA: 8/8-1.000

AAA: 7/8-.750

AA: 7/9-.778

A: 6/11-.545

Grand totals: 28/36-.750.
