Agreed. It seemed like North was the only team on the board that had a strong chance to derail one or both of the GF teams. Minot seems to be peaking at the right time but I still don't see them winning tonight. FSS has some firepower but their back end weaknesses will far surpass that. They've allowed 5 or more goals 7 times this season for a total of 85 goals allowed which is actually more than they've scored. All GF championship...
-
Yes, and it's not even close. Minot total high school combined enrollment = 2,126 (I think it peaked at roughly 2,400) West Fargo High School = 1,426 West Fargo Sheyenne = 1,382 Horace = 674 West Fargo United combined enrollment = 3,482 (over 1,000 more students than Minot High was at it's historical peak)
-
They likely own the record for highest enrollment total for a single team in ND high school sports history which seems pretty special. WF, WFS and Horace.
-
This is good news for Abrahamson at least for recruitment purposes. Looks like only 50 players listed nationally. Guess how many of the 3 finalists made this list? lol
-
Yeah, it probably will. But for me, the first thing I think of is that she got shafted for some extra (rightful) recognition, which maybe could've given her recruitment a boost. I enjoy following her because she's a rarity this day and age due to sticking with her lower performing small program when she easily could've taken those offers from Warroad and whoever else has called over the years. A few of her teammates took those calls and left. So part of me worries younger athletes see things like this happen and it further fuels this current trend of athletes having little to no commitments to their programs and leaving for the next best thing without batting an eye. Again, it's just an award but I just hate to see an old-school committed kid get burned, that's all.
-
Unless there have been some negative actions I would think someone that far ahead of the pack 2 seasons in a row would still be a shoe-in even as a neutral student and citizen but who knows. The Minot goalie isn't even top 5 in a single stat and her team missed state...so I'm just thoroughly confused I guess... probably due to being an outsider looking in. I'll just chalk it up to politics and good ole' boys club choices and move on haha.
-
I'd have to look but she's gotta be pushing 200 career points. And not only led the state in scoring 2 years in a row but DOUBLED and nearly doubled the 2nd closest player each year. This season she single handedly scored more goals than 3 of the 12 teams in the state and likely will have more than 4 teams after the state tournament. Unless there's a sportsmanship issue or GPA issue I'm not aware of...it seems pretty wild she wasn't an absolute shoe-in for the award let alone be a finalist lol.
-
Wait wait wait a second....Abrahamson isn't even a top 3 finalist for Sr. Athlete of the year? That has to be a joke right?
-
Not intending to ruffle feathers here but honestly wondering how these large school co-ops have gotten so out of control in girls hockey. Are girls hockey numbers so poor in WF that 2 of the largest schools in the state have to co-op to field a team? Same goes for GF, FN+FS and BHS+Legacy. Is it more so about being competitive or strictly about being able to even field a team if they don't co-op? WFS+WF combined is nearly 11x the enrollment of DL(smallest team), GFRR+GFC combined is 6x, North and South combined is about 8x and BHS+Legacy is about 10x. Their rosters don't seem to be busting at the seams, so I'm leaning toward the co-ops being needed just to field teams but that just seems crazy to me figuring how large these schools are and being in a pretty strong hockey state.
-
I think for Dickinson it was 2001
-
Exciting for their team and exciting for their community. I hope this gives their hockey program a nice boost for the future!
-
Off topic a little bit, but seeing all the EDC logos made me think about which hockey team has the best mascot name, logo, and jersey combo in the state. My bids would be 1. Rough Riders 2. Spoilers 3. Demons 4. Coyotes 5. Spartans If not for being retired, I would have chosen Satans (RIP) as my #1 or #2.
-
WF and DL seem to match up tight but slight edge to WF = WF 3-1 WFS seems to play up and down to their competition but ultimately are the better team = WFS 4-2 RR has shown some signs of weakness, but their forwards are their strong spot, and goaltending and defending is South's weak spot so I dont see an upset here = RR 5-2 North has shown they can do it so I think they'll want it more and will do it again today = North 4-3 Bott plays hard and has a few play makers but Mandan has a strong 1st line to match them and a top tier tendy = Mandan 5-2 Willy won't be able to beat Jamestown 3 times = Jamestown 4-3 Century seems to match up really well against the Midgets = CHS 6-2 Minot's top line can make things happen but depth trumps that in big games = Legacy 5-3
-
daaaaayyyyyyyumm. I thought Mandan would win this one handily.
-
Can't argue any of these predictions.
-
Although it may not qualify as a "let down" I'd argue their embarrassing 2-8 loss to EGF exposed their rare weaknesses pretty clearly. That has to be one of the worst losses RR has been handed in many many years.
-
Because they dominate year after year and having new/different teams in the mix from time to time is good for the growth of hockey in the state IMO.
-
What did Skarperud have to say? I was surprised DL hung in there as well as they did especially since they were down one of their few solid forwards. SR Dayton Lunak broke his ankle in practice this week... If I would have guessed DL was going to keep that game close, I would have guessed a low scoring game where the DL goalie Forsberg stood on his head, but this time it was from their depleted offense potting goals. So was it an overlooked game mixed with desperation effort from DL, or another sign of rare weakness from RR that we have seen flashes of this year?
-
As much as I don't want to see a 1-2 GF showing from the EDC, I think I'd prefer that this year to ensure better chances for the 1-2 seeds from the West at State. If say Legacy and Century are the 1-2, it might suck to have a 1st round game against a GF team... With that said, I'll be rooting for North and Legacy from here on out.
-
How about north and south like youth hockey.
-
North 4-3 South 5-3 Central 6-2 RR 4-1
-
Abrahamson over/under goals for tonight is set at 3.5 Abrahamson over/under points for tonight is set at 5.5 I'm taking the over on both
-
I sure hope that doesn't happen. Plenty of teams around the state have had brutal season after brutal season but stuck around. Schedule some games with Watford, Sidney, Wahp etc. to get more winnable games on the schedule. They will be fine especially with the pretty solid bismarck youth numbers.
-
I'm probably 1 of very few who's played a varsity hockey game in every city in the state. My 9th and 10th grade years were in the West and my 11th and 12th grade years were in the East. Those long-haul games to opposite corners of the state always sucked and did take a toll on us whether we wanted to admit it or not. The hosts of WDA and EDC always seemed to fair the best, and in most cases they were probably already the best teams but as we all know, in the crazy game of hockey any little edge can make a difference in big games. It would be nice to see state in Minot or Bismarck someday but maybe that won't be a feasible option until someone like Minot State or UMary builds a nice big new rink with 3,000+ capacity.
