Check that. Schmitt now with a Hattrick for Minot. 3-1 Minot

Midway through the first period Minot leads Willison 2-1. Bryce Schmitt with both goals. He's got a good career ahead of him. Only a Freshman.

A couple of minor upsets so far today. Central now plays the loser of DL vs RR for the right to go to State. Like another poster said Bottineau plays either Williston or Minot. I don't see Red River losing to Devils Lake, but a Grand Forks Central-Red River play in game would be fun to watch.

Thank you for keeping us up to date out east!

Thanks for the update. Bottineau has had a good tournament so far. It would be neat to see them make the state tournament.

Any updates on the afternoon games? Fargo North vs. Shanley HB vs. Centruy? Thanks

Wow the spoilers are rollin....any scores from Bismarck about the last game there?

5-3 South in the third period at Purpur...interesting. How much time is left in that one? Thanks Edited, South must have scored. I believe that Williston won 2-1.

Well, he was so unbiased that I couldn't figure out where he was from until they did the local ads. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up his RR-DL broadcast tomorrow. Its nice having a guy like that broadcasting games in North Dakota.

I just heard on the local news that Bismarck high is still up 1-0 in the third period against Bottineau. Not sure how accurate that is though.

Anybody got a score from the Bismack vs. Bottineau game? Central vs. South should be underway correct? Thanks

Thats a good question. Anybody have an old high school tournament program?

Final Score: Devils Lake 3 North 1 Devils lake has been to state quite a few times. They were there last year, and played Fargo South tough.

Sorry.... This is a great internet feed. Pretty clear and everything. The guy doing the play by play is pretty good as well. Pretty excited, and not a homer at all.

Now 3-1 Devils Lake 5 minutes to go in the game.

Devils Lake 2 North 1 Kyle Everson I believe...yep.

Thanks for the link Stromer!

Minot 7 H/B 1 Note: The Minot radio crew is looking at the site here for scores of the WDA and EDC to report to listeners. Some nice publicity for Siouxsports.

End of the second period: Minot 6 H/B 1 Tons of penalties.

4-1 Minot Midway through the second period.

After one period of play Minot 2 Hazen 1: I have to give credit to Hazen. From the sound of it they are playing gritty hockey, and with nothing to lose against a team with more depth thats what you have to do. Minot scored two quick goals, but then Hazen came back and got a goal with about 7 minutes left.

Midway through the first period: Minot 2 Hazen 1 The North Stars playing pretty well.

Very classy comments from all. I know everyone has their opinions, but I guess integrity runs a little low in some people. I'm done posting here. I try to post something constructive, and it goes to hell in a hurry. I compliment Red River, yet the only reason they obviously won is because Minot is horrible. Have good discussions from now on...christ.

Final Score Red River 7 Minot 1: Well, let me first say one thing....wow. I've watched a lot of high school hockey in my day, but I have never seen a team pass as well as this Red River team does. Its like they've got magnets on their sticks. Some pretty pretty passing goals by the Riders, and hard working gritty goals as well. I don't have my mind made up about who Red River's best player is. I'm leaning towards Meland, but they've also got some great defensement in Galbreath and Ladoucer, and the goaltender Pat Arnason was great as well. Minot had some great chances off of some turnovers to get a goal but Arnason shut the door on them. I'm really impressed with his lateral movement for a big guy, and how he doesn't waste movement when making the save. The only goal Minot scored was in the third period when Arnason was taken out for Gilbertson? Is that right? Minot in my opinion is a pretty decent hockey club, but Red River is just in a class of their own. There were points in the game when I think I was cheering for Red River because I was that impressed with their puck movement, and overall team speed, it was a lot of fun to watch. I tried to think of a weakness that Red River has, but I really can't find one. Just give them the trophy now. Note to Hakstol, Players to recruit: ~Meland ~Ladoucer (sp) ~Galbreath ~Russel Crary (in a couple of years) ~Arnason Thats all I got, hope I didn't miss anything.

I completely agree with that assessment, very well said. I hope that is something discussed in the future with the meetings and what not, but I guess we'll see. The last time I talked to Rody Selk was over the break and he didn't really have any indications of where he was going to play college hockey. I know that he has one more year of Junior hockey eligibility left, so I imagine he'll use it before signing with someone.
