High school football

One thing is for sure, 5A teams overall are better teams but doesn't mean they have the best individual talent. Schools are divided into classes based on enrollment numbers not talent. Although they have some good teams, there are a few teams that I think could give a few 5A teams a run for there money. It would be cool if they could set up some non-conference games to see what would happen. Although it would never happen, look at Eric Decker, came from Cold Spring, I don't believe they made it to state but got close. He's the best player the Gophers had and will play in the pros.

Well i'll be there somewhere in/on/above the press box friday night running the camera, if you run across me say hi. im not going to guess at a score, but I too will favor my team, I think its anyones game. Even if both teams come out showing their best its still not a shoe-in for either.

What year did you graduate? i might have played against you back in the day.

[riverrat56]

I graduated in '07.......We may have lost in the State Finals, but we beat you guys in Week 3! Ha!

I may also end up in the box on Friday, I'll have to see what shakes down. Otherwise I think I'm heading acrossed the state to Blooming Prarie to scout that game.

[james_walleye]

Goodhue will take down blooming.

[riverrat56]

Goodhue will take down blooming.

Agreed completly, having played Goodhue in '06 and having seen Blooming a few times, it might not even be much of a game. Goodhue is built to be a playoff team, not this razzel dazzel [PoorWordUsage] that Blooming uses to put up big numbers until they play a good team in the playoffs like every year....

[james_walleye]

Goodhues record is always decieving. They are playing 2A and 3A teams all year.

[riverrat56]

And Blooming is beating up on some very sub par teams.

Any chance you'll be at the Quarterfinals of state james_walleye? Section 1A (Goodhue vs Blooming) plays 2A (Springfeild/NUC) at Rochester, if NUC wins I'll be down there next Friday night!

[james_walleye]

Theres a good chance, i always take in as much HS playoff ball as i can. The complex is minutes from my house. I was just checking out the MSHSL HSOforum. I see if Grand Meadow wins they will play the winner of Nicollet/St. Clair. Nice draw for section 1. The only common opponent with Nicollet was Alden which GM just rolled. They were up 49-12 when they pulled their starters. Nicollet beat them by 8. I like GM's shot at getting to state. Who is the #1 seed in your matchup?

[riverrat56]

Cathedral is the #1 in Section 2 as well as #1 in the polls (not that they mean anything) they beat Springfeild in week 1 19-13 (or something like that) Since then Springfeild has won 9 straight game and is on a roll. I'm ready for one heck of a good game on Friday night.

I don't follow alot of 9 man but I know Nicollet has been playing some good ball, but not sure how good the teams they've been playing are

[Ralph Wiggum]

Sartell/Alexandria should be a great game this Saturday in Collegeville (the best place to watch a game). Sartell's been rolling all year. Hope they can keep it going.

[crothmeier]

Well riverrat if you're in the box let me know. I graduated in '02 so I wouldn't have played against you, and i dont think my senior year we played cathedral at all. If you're in the box you'll have to say hi, name is chris.

[Jordyn Kaufer]

Friday night tomorrow baby! GAMENIGHT! Stillwater(9-0) vs Moundsview(7-2)!!!!!!!

[Burnham]

i hate to argue, but i would say that any 5a conference is better than a 3a conference. maybe a very good 3a team may be better than a weaker 5a team, but there is no way a 3a conference is made up of better teams than a 5a. anyways we lost to blaine, never thought losing a football game could hurt so much..my career is over. personally i dont mind blaine and centennial soo much and think either of them will make it deep. we beat the 5-0, 3rd in state, cocky, preppy, stuck up andover turds 19-7 in week 6, all that matters. GREATEST GAME EVER

[riverrat56]

Well I got to watch a great game tonight, NUC came out on top 27-14 over Springfeild. Tons of great plays made by each team, really a shame it had to be a section final game as I think we saw two of the top teams in the state play tonight.

james_walleye, Blooming came out on top, making us both look stupid.....did you happen to see the game?

[james_walleye]

I saw the blooming score and was a bit surprised. I was at the Grand Meadow game and they avenged their only loss of the season, winning 35-7 over Houston. They are playing great ball. They play Nicollet at noon next saturday in Rochester.

[Big Dave2]

Tell us something new!

[crothmeier]

yaeh the spfld - cathedral game was good. great plays by both teams, we threw a pic in the second half that cathedral scored to tie the game, and we just kinda went away after that. Great game good luck to the greyhounds, bring a title back to southern MN.

rivverat were you in the press box? i dont think i saw you

[lawdog]

Congrats to the Luverne Cardinals on their Section 3AA FOURPEAT!!!

[james_walleye]

whew, GSL blow out again! Sorry to say, but noone gonna touch them!

My co-workers son plays for Kasson-Mantorville and they won Section 1. The first thing i asked him this morning was "where is Glencoe in the brackets"? They are on opposite sides. I'd like to see Kasson get to play GSL.

[jwenzel]

what aree some of your guys prep bowl predictions? i graduated in gsl in 04 so im hoping they can go all the way for the 4th time in a row but delasalle is definaty going to be one of the toughest games so far this season.

[walleyefisher0990]

GO CENTENNIAL COUGARS!!!!! SECTION 7AAAAA CHAMPS! Looks like the 5A football tourney should be a good one!

[bassNspear]

GSL will walk to the state title!

[PierBridge]

That game is at MaCalister collge Friday night! Might have to pop over there and check it out!

Sounds like GSL's defense is pretty freaking good!

27-8 GSL.
