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

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

We are down to three. Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Total undefeated left: 3<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Leaving the list none<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 1\u00a0 Mountain Iron-Buhl;<\/p>\n

Leaving the list: Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s<\/p>\n

What about the flip side of this? The winless? Here are the \u201csweet\u201d 16 hoping to stumble onto victory.<\/p>\n

My expectations are that A will have several and we may not see any movement at the AAA or AA levels.<\/p>\n

Leaving the lists below this week only took place in A:<\/p>\n

LeRoy-Ostrander went south to Riceville, Iowa for their win on Friday 57-37.<\/p>\n

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

AAA:<\/strong> 2 North Branch; Sauk Rapids-Rice<\/p>\n

AA:<\/strong> 3 Albert Lea; Redwood Valley; Parnassus<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 11 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

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.<\/p>\n

AAAA:<\/strong> 18 Rochester Mayo<\/p>\n

AAA:<\/strong> 17 Stewartville<\/p>\n

AA:<\/strong> 19 New London-Spicer<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> 19 Mountain Iron-Buhl<\/p>\n

PROLIFIC OFFENSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is something new.. a list of high scoring offenses (and below that stingy defenses)<\/p>\n

AAAA<\/strong> 82.0 Rochester Mayo<\/p>\n

AAA<\/strong> 87.5 Hill-Murray<\/p>\n

AA<\/strong> 93.3 Providence<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>: 86.4 Kelliher\/Northome<\/p>\n

AIR TIGHT DEFENSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

AAAA<\/strong> 43.2 Rochester Mayo<\/p>\n

AAA<\/strong> 40.3 Northfield<\/p>\n

AA <\/strong>37.5 Menahga<\/p>\n

A<\/strong> 26.0 Metro Schools College Prep<\/p>\n

The lessons?<\/p>\n

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 \u201cbest\u201d defense out there. The other three are ranked, or undefeated (Menahga). But the Braves are playing A teams despite being placed in AA.<\/p>\n

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

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

A disaster for not seeing a game this week. Illness, Car issues and then family obligations curtailed my viewing schedule.<\/p>\n

Biggest fish not seen? Still #26 Woodbury<\/p>\n

10: 10\/10—-1.000<\/p>\n

25: 25\/25—1.000<\/p>\n

50: 47\/50—.940<\/p>\n

75: 65\/75—.867<\/p>\n

100: 76\/100—.760<\/p>\n

125: 79\/125—.640<\/p>\n

150: 83\/150—.553<\/p>\n

175: 84\/175—.480<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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

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

AA<\/strong>: 8\/10 .800<\/p>\n

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

Overall, it is 32\/40 or .825 no change.<\/p>\n

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

Without seeing a game I improved one spot this week. How? BOLD moved into the #1 spot in 2A after Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s lost. Now just missing eight.<\/p>\n

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

AAA: 7\/8-.750<\/p>\n

AA: 7\/9-.778<\/p>\n

A: 6\/11-.545<\/p>\n

Grand totals: 28\/36-.750.<\/p>\n
