Watched a bit of RR vs. Roseau and Minot vs. Davies.  Ulmer had himself a ball game for RR.  Davies was credited with like 54 shots on net, but I don't think they had quite that many.

 

Sounds like this might be Ulmer's last year at RR dad wants him to go junior route.  Wanted it this year but Caden wanted to play HS.

Feels like that term gets thrown around a lot these days.

Even worse is the term “elite” 🙄

[yzerman19]

Joey Cullen is very, very talented, one of the top players in his birth year.  The narratives that get thrown around are silly though.  He is well positioned to grow and be a great player.  I wish him nothing but success...its not the kid's fault when grown ups are the problem.

Heard that happened in hoops a year or 2 ago as well.  Kid essentially went and played for some sort of AAU program and home schooled.  Family member got sick, moved home and wasn't allowed to play HS hoops.

Believe kid is from Granville and is committed to UND - playing TGU

Tuesdays games 

 

[Johnny Five]

All 12 girls teams are supposed to go tonight, weather depending.  1st 2 games are of high interest...and if the last 2 years means anything towards this year we've learned that in the rest of the games, cannot take any team lightly.

CHS at Mandan

North/South at WF United

DL at Grand Forks

Jamestown at Davies

Minot at Williston

L/B at Dickinson

[Brim006]

DL 2 bott 0 after 1. 
 

Shots 14-2 DL

 

Weston Stromme is going to put up 50+ points this season in the EDC. Nelson 45+

No chance we see a better swag battle than this Shanley v North combo.

I like the color on color. Assuming FN has whites not blues?

[Johnny Five]

Pretty sure they have a set of whites an a road blue but I could be wrong.

Around ND:

Sheyenne goes to Roseau and knocks off the Rams.  Two ND teams have beaten Roseau so far this year.

EGF beats RR in Gambucci cup play.  

Legacy and WFHS tie 5-5 and Legacy wins the all important non conference shootout victory. 

Mandan beats Dickinson.  The Braves are undefeated after beating Century the other night as well.

Roseau has been down for a bit and from what I've heard it's not looking good for the future - by their standards anyway.  They also don't recruit like their neighbors to the east or their rivals in 8AA, so it may be a tough road.

RR over WFHS 7-0.

Sheyenne over Davies 4-3.

Central up 5-2 late.

Minot over Legacy 4-2.

BHS up 3-1 in the third on Century.

Mandan up 3-2 on Shanley late. 

I heard GPR was leading North, but can't confirm.  

 

[Johnny Five]

Didn't have Mandan beating Shanley on the bingo card.

 

Or Grafton over North.  

[Wilbur]

BHS beats Century in a shootout.  Young man in the net for BHS very good late in that game.

It has been a weird year already. Other than WF, it appears any of the F+WF teams could beat one another? Mandan might run the table in the west?! DL and Grafton appear to be pretty solid and might have a decent shot to be in the mix for the #4 spot in the east? 

I'll admit, I thought even with losing a few guys early that Century would be a top dog in the west this year, but by the looks of it they might have their lowest finish in the west in many many years. 

Hopefully the Thursday, Friday and Saturday games clear things up a bit, because right now I can't gauge crap lol. Davies vs Central and WFS vs RR might give us a better pulse on the EDC. 

[gfhockey]

I also thought Central would be beating teams by more

[gfhockey]

Because the mighty duck say it’s not worth winning if you can’t win big
