WEEK THAT WAS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

UNBEATEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a final five. Pine River-Backus went to Braham Tuesday and saw their undefeated season ended.<\/p>\n

Now the question is how many can remain unblemished until March? My guess is the best hopes are in A.<\/p>\n

Total undefeated left: 5<\/p>\n

AAAA:<\/strong> 1\u00a0 Rosemount<\/p>\n

Leaving the list none<\/p>\n

AAA:<\/strong> 0<\/p>\n

AA:<\/strong> 2 Menahga; New London-Spicer<\/p>\n

Leaving the list none<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 2\u00a0 Mountain Iron-Buhl; Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s<\/p>\n

Leaving the list: Pine River-Backus lost to Braham on Tuesday. CHOF???? They disappeared from the MN Scores listing\u2026.check your milk cartons for more information.<\/p>\n

What about the flip side of this? The winless? Here are the 18 hoping to stumble onto victory.<\/p>\n

AAAA:<\/strong> Cambridge-Isanti<\/p>\n

AAA:<\/strong> North Branch; Sauk Rapids-Rice<\/p>\n

AA:<\/strong> Albert Lea; Redwood Valley; Parnassus<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> LeRoy-Ostrander, Madelia; Red Rock Central; Browerville-Eagle Valley; Ortonville; Verndale; Bigfork; and smaller charter\/privates Lincoln International; MN Transitions; St. John\u2019s Prep; Fond du Lac Ojibwe, and Community School of Excellence<\/p>\n

STREAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joining the lists this week is Menahga, also undefeated along with the Wildcats of NLS. Exiting, but without losing, just not enough games, is Hillcrest Lutheran.<\/p>\n

Which of these teams can keep the streaks going through March? Again look to the small class for any chance there.<\/p>\n

AAAA:<\/strong> 14 Rochester Mayo<\/p>\n

AAA:<\/strong> 11 Hill-Murray<\/p>\n

AA:<\/strong> 14 New London-Spicer, Menahga<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 14 NRHEG, Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s, Mountain Iron-Buhl<\/p>\n

QUEST FOR\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

QRF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five teams dropped last week—#24 Two River; #36 Champlin Park; #106 BOLD; #131 Pine River-Backus; #135 St. Croix Lutheran.<\/p>\n

What is the end game? The hope? If I could Casey Kasem this list (top 40) I would be happy. Anything more than that is gravy. Missing four on that list.<\/p>\n

Biggest fish not seen? #17 Stewartville<\/p>\n

10: 10\/10—-1.000<\/p>\n

25: 24\/25—.960<\/p>\n

50: 44\/50—.880<\/p>\n

75: 59\/75—.787<\/p>\n

100: 71\/100—.710<\/p>\n

150: 78\/150—.520<\/p>\n

175: 78\/175—.446<\/p>\n

TOP 10S<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crossed off the list this week was #9A Pine River-Backus. My guess is that they don\u2019t survive listing this week.<\/p>\n

AAAA:<\/strong> 10\/10-1.000<\/p>\n

AAA<\/strong>: 9\/10-.900<\/p>\n

AA<\/strong>: 8\/11 .727<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 5\/10-.500<\/p>\n

Overall, it is 32\/41 or .780\u00a0 up .024 from the week before. Glacial progress.<\/p>\n

#1S IN EACH SECTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Checking off Pine River-Backus in 5A West helped. Braham bounced back in front in 5A East. Marshall also moved back in front in 2AAA helping my cause. My hope is to knock off three to four more this week (fingers crossed with weather).<\/p>\n

AAAA: 8\/8-1.000<\/p>\n

AAA: 6\/8-.750<\/p>\n

AA: 5\/9-.556<\/p>\n

A: 5\/11-.455<\/p>\n

Grand totals: 24\/36-.667.<\/p>\n

SEEDING THE STATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

No changes in the big classes. Norwood-Young America is the newest addition in AA. Perham swaps out with DGF. I\u2019m still not ready to list Menahga in\u00a0 AA. Schedule is A level. Sauk Centre returns. \u00a0BBE joins the party in A. Mayer Lutheran moves up, CMC down.<\/p>\n
