Welcome to Czar Season 20

Welcome to Czar Season 20!  Another new school year means another season in cyberspace.  That includes the standard updates to flip the site forward to the 2026-27 season.

The usual list of fall leagues and camps is now posted on the Fall Hoops page.  If I missed yours, please pass it along.

My notorious season preview series returns for another season (see the schedule here).  Need #ShockTheCzar material?  Its all there.  4 weeks of nothing but hoops starting on October 26th until the start of practice on November 23th.  It will include all teams in class AAAA and 16 metro area conferences.

The list of class of 2027 players that have committed is now its own page.  That list can be found here.

The annual holiday tournament schedule is also posted.  Here's a list of the ones I know about currently.  Schedules will be added as we get closer to the games themselves.  If you have info on any local tourneys or teams that I didn't post, please feel free to reach out so I can get it added.

I've updated the current national recruiting rankings from all the major services.  See that on my Players page.

Once the college and NBA seasons get started, I'll be filling out the pages for Minnesotans that are playing D1 or in the NBA.  I did this last year for the first time and it was a fun project as I don't get to follow the next level very much.  Those links will be added once the NBA and college seasons get underway.

To long time readers and those of you who may be newer, don't forget about the Links page.  Its always the 1st option in the menus.  There is no more complete list of Minnesota high school resources than what you'll find there.  You can find links to anything and everything you may want to know about Minnesota hoops during the high school or grassroots seasons.  For the Minnesota high school season, you can find state records, section assignments and maps, along with history of the big awards.  For grassroots info, it includes national recruiting sites, recruiting calendars and links to national leagues just to name a few of the useful things that can be found there.  It also has historical links to previous seasons of my writings including old season previews, CzarPI values and polls.

A way to bring some magic back to July.

It was 15 years ago that I made my 1st trip to Las Vegas and it was for the last open period of the season.  That season had the Adidas Super 64 with the likes of Andre Drummond, Kris Dunn and the top ranked "17U" player Shabazz Muhammed.  The entire court at Rancho was decked out in silver trim along with the backboards and a custom center court logo.  1 full side of bleachers dedicated to the college coaches with that entire sideline filled with tables for the media.

Then came the Fab 48 and Bigfoot Hoops followed later by the Under Armour championships.  Finally you had popup tournaments that built their schedules around the big 3.  Need a game on Thursday or Friday, they set you up.  Heck, even NY2LA had a tourney out there 1 year and it included a memorable Minnesota matchup.  You had star power, big games and as the last tourney of the season it was a celebration.  Who was watching that kid?  Duke had full staff there and blue bloods X,Y,Z were also there.  There was a magic to it in the 2010s.

Fast forward to today.  The shoe companies dominate the 3 AAU open periods and our local High School open period is setup like a camp.  That's not a bad thing, but for the non-shoe teams what is there?  My personal level of interest for July was as low as its ever been.  When was the last time we writers actually were focused on what coaches were in the stands watching?  Certainly doesn't help that just about anything below 17U is meaningless these days.  Even then, high school kids are being recruited less than ever.  Thank you transfer portal.  Kids just have games that have no meaning or you play a full bracket, lose 1st game and then are playing out the string.  Indianapolis had the final 4 of all Minnesota teams in just a regular 16 team bracket with no pool play.  16U final was an all Minnesota affair.  That's demoralizing.  The lack of interest that players had this July was shockingly bad.  Then you have the highlight dunk by Gideon Horne from this summer and the aftermath of that. I'll just say Thank You to the video vultures for that.

But this isn't a media member group text chat (Hi Jared, Hi RJ, Hi Alex).   Time for some solutions to try and bring back some buzz to the local scene in July.  The concept here is simple.  Small, limited travel but still exposure for all.  Plus the idea of new matchups and a new format.  So here goes.  All of these ideas by my decree

First of all, the spring period is already loaded and many of the Sanford league teams already have matchups at BATL, the GPA and the Comets Shootout.  Therefore, the Scheels League week in May is moved and left open as a badly needed off week between the TC Takedown, BATL and the spring open period.  Instead, we move it to the final week of July right after the last open period.  We'll still treat it like an open period though as we'll go Thursday thru Sunday.  My version is only 32 teams and just 17U, all under 1 roof.  None of this 330 teams in 17U and 6 gazillion teams in other divisions and every gym between Juneau, AK and Albuquerque, NM in use.  Also these teams are from Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas and I'm inviting Huestis Elite from Montana too as their kids get NSIC interest.  Like the days of the Adidas Super 64 at Rancho HS and its 3 courts, we'll do everything in 1 location.  We'll do 1 of those as a main gym show court where the games are given full treatment.  None of this 3 courts crowded together and whistles everywhere because 700 courts are going like any other week.  There will be coaches/media reserved seating on 1 side and like the Super 64 give me public address like a real game.  Sorry to those coaches who don't put in rosters, you'll need them here.  We'll start at 9 AM with final game at 7:30 PM on the 1st 3 days.  90 min game windows so you have time to move around a bit and maybe catch the end of the other games.  So that means 8 games a day (6 Sunday).  Then championship day starts at 8 AM with semifinals in the consolation bracket, semis in the championship bracket and then the title games.  Top final at 3:30 PM so its not insanely late.  All games will also be online. I'll even make a major concession and allow video vultures, but they will be caged in a specific area of the bleachers where they don't block fan viewing.  None will be allowed in the court area for safety reasons.  All rights to the event are reserved and your access is dependent on paying a nominal fee.

32 of the best teams in the region are invited with the idea to have top teams from as many states that recruit our area as possible.  That means shoe teams too, not just Scheels league with a few extras.  D1 MN 3SSB, Hoop Habits UA Rise, Power 5 3SSB, Team Herro EYBL, Howard Pulley, Kingdom Hoops EYCL etc.  You're invited.  Now in an effort to add some spice to it, remove politics and to avoid many same region matchups that may have already occurred, I'm doing this like the World Cup Soccer draw.  The 32 teams will be divided into 4 pots.  Teams will be placed into the pots largely by region with a sample distribution that might look something like this.  And for sake of discussion, spare me the politics of we won't come or we won't play so and so etc etc.  Focus on the concept and structure and play along.

West Pot: Huestis Elite, Team Warwick, Sanford SD UA Rise, SW MN Stars, MN Comets, ND Phenom, Sanford ND, MN Rise

South Pot: Kingdom Hoops EYCL, Martin Brothers UA, All Iowa Attack, Murray Elite, Howard Pulley EYCL, Real Phenom, Sizzle MHC, Minnesota Heat GVR

Central Pot: MN Fury Zurn, MN Fury Goring, MN Select Fuerte, MN Lightning, Gain Elite P32, Hoop Habits UA Rise, D1 Minnesota 3SSB, Northstar Titans

East Pot: WI Academy, Team Herro EYBL, Team 1848, Power 5 3SSB, Playmakers P32, WI Swing, Chapman Basketballl Academy, 24: UP

From these 4 pots, we'll generate 8 pools of 4 and we do it like soccer where each pool gets 1 team from each of the 4 pots. This is also how we generate new matchups, avoid early rematches and give teams their shot at shoe teams.  We'll use pool play to make those games more meaningful. Top 2 in each pool go on to the 16 team championship bracket.  Bottom 2 in each pool play a 16 team consolation bracket.  Lose and go home in both.  Just like the old Vegas days, you might be done early Saturday.  Pool play on Th/Fri with bracket on the weekend.  Round of 16 and quarters on Saturday.  Semis and finals on Sunday.

Every team gets exactly 1 pool game on the main court and its their only game that day so no excuses about being tired or less rest than another team.  Everybody gets their moment in the sun.  The other 2 pool games will be on the other day (1 Th/2 Fri or vice versa).  Half of the round of 16 is on other courts but all the quarters (Sat PM), semis and finals for the top bracket are on the main show court to get the special treatment.  In a perfect world, this would be at the Pentagon, but that's too far away and too big and expensive for what we're after here.  Plus Minneapolis is well suited for travel access and entertainment.  The other fun location I'd consider is the JAG Fieldhouse in Wisconsin Dells where they have a wonderful show court along with 4 adjacent courts  How about Noah's Ark for the teams on the day they play on the show court?

With my proposal, you'd have one of the biggest events of our AAU season even without it being open.  Consider it a smaller summer version of Battle At The Lakes but in tourney form not just pre-defined matchups.  A chance for a defacto regional championship to end the season too as the top programs from 6 states are invited.  You'd have the most talent, better matchups and everything close under 1 roof.  I propose a place like Eastview which has a nice cozy main gym and 2 very suitable side courts adjacent.  D2 kids could show out against D1 kids.  Kids at the back end of a shoe roster would get their shot in front of the D2 guys which is rare since they're always on the road.  Not to mention you could get some very fun cross shoe matchups (D1 vs Team Herro?  Yes please).  Its just a hard fact that recruiting is as regional as ever and where kids attend college show that.  A thread on X from today shows numbers on that for Wisconsin and Indiana (click here).  If you look at Minnesota numbers over the years, we may get 1 kid who goes D2 outside of the region.  For far too many teams in this event, they'd get more exposure in this 1 weekend than in the rest of their travel season.

So in conclusion, you'd have a final regional event that would have a definite champion.  That's how you end a season.  It'd be in front of the audience that the kids need to playing in front of.  That means maximum exposure.  Plus it comes without all the fluff and extra-curricular activity of Las Vegas.  What are your thoughts?  Discuss in the post on X.

The Czar's Grassroots 2026 Stockrisers

The 2026 Grassroots season has reached its conclusion.  While the Grassroots game has changed a ton in recent years, the end objectives are still the same.  Let's take a look at some players who I feel helped their recruiting stock the most.

Biggest Stockriser: Matthew Johnson (St. Louis Park) - Minnesota Fury Zurn
Johnson is the 1 name on this list that wasn't a known scholarship guy before the summer season.  He got off to a great start at the Comets Shootout and made himself one of the most coveted D2 prospects in the Minnesota 2027 class.  Made his mark attacking the rim, shoots it well enough and has prototype size and athleticism on the wing.

Other Top Stockrisers:
Malachi Hill (Totino-Grace) - D1 Minnesota.  The state champion point guard was D1 Minnesota's most consistent player during the season.  He was very productive in their 3rd place run at the Adidas 3SSB Palmetto Road championships.  That included 26 points in the 3rd place game.  He picked up a handful of division 1 offers from his play.  The latest being a mid-major offer from Northern Iowa.

Bryce Gaustad (Anoka) - Northstar Titans.  The skilled big man was on a bunch of D2 radars and played his way into a major target for the NSIC.  Then he took it up a notch in July.  That resulted in an offer from North Dakota. 

Kobby Sambrew (Prior Lake) - Minnesota Fury Goring.  The athletic forward has long had the physical gifts.  This summer his productivity made him a major NSIC target.  Too big and strong for guards, too quick for many bigs at the high school level.  Reminds me of former Osseo star Josh Ola-Joseph.

Luke Schroeder (Shakopee) - Hoop Habits UA Rise.   The Sabers guard was the top guy for Hoop Habits all season.  He's sneaky athletic and one of best shooters in the class with deep range.  That allows him to be a guy who can score in bunches.  Also has a competitive edge to him.  Another priority target for the NSIC.

Nick Taylor (Lanesboro) - Minnesota Lightning Ellerbusch. Taylor really broke out at the Great Plains Alliance in June.  Thanks to being a small school he's a bit a hybrid at about 6'8.  Plays a ton of wing on offense but has to be an interior guy defensively.  Add in his bounce and he's a major matchup problem during the high school season which leads to huge numbers.  But it was the defensive presence blocking shots at the GPA that really stuck out.  St. Cloud State jumped in quickly and got him to commit.

Honorable Mentions:
Gavyn Lorenson (Lake City) - WI Playmakers P32  (Committed to MN-Duluth)
Asher Wieberdink (Central Minnesota Christian) - SW Minnesota Stars
Ayden Green (Minnehaha) - Sizzle MHC
Owen Counce (Osseo) -  Gain Elite
Shay Jackson (Totino-Grace) - Minnesota Select Fuerte  (Committed to Concordia-St. Paul)

2026 GPA Preview

The summer section of the 2026 grassroots season is set to fire up this weekend with the annual Great Plains Alliance tournament in St. Cloud.   Games begin on Friday afternoon with bracket play on Saturday.  This is one of the top D2 and D3 showcases of the entire season with most of the top players from the Dakotas attending and many of the tier 2 Minnesota squads.  Plus you never know what ringers will show up.  I'll be in attendance and here's what I'll be watching.

17U
This is a 48 team bracket setup.  8 play-in "pool" games to begin Friday.  Then the standard 32 team bracket tipping off at 3:35.  2nd game of the bracket is late night.  Then 3 games starting late Saturday  leading up to the 6:50 championship game.

The top 5 2027s from South Dakota will be in attendance.  Sanford South Dakota Black features 3 D2 commits in F Davis Chase (Augustana), PG Connor Mebius (Sioux Falls) and W Deondre Painter (Northern St).  Team Warwick features the top rated 2027 Brant Wassenaar who is committed to Drake.  You also have 2028 David Walter playing up with Sacred Hoops and the return of Kent Mueller to the sidelines.  Mueller was the longtime coach for the old Dakota Schoolers program.  Can we bring in Paul Seville to ref that just to make the reunion complete?  On the North Dakota side, 15 top hoops prospects from there are expected.  F Kyson Keller is also with that Team Warwick squad with multiple D2 offers.  North Dakota Phenom has D2 talents Oakley Trueblood and Owen Terras (Jamestown commit) on the wings with a pair of good point guards in Weston Scott and Najeh Boyd

Minnesota 2027s to watch
Isaiah Asuma (Montana St FB commit), Ray Brau - Comets
De'Anthony Sells - D1 MN Gold
AJ Taban - Elevate Skills
Hunter Vinkemeier (Augustana commit), Kobby Sambrew - Fury Goring
Matthew Johnson, Max Beeninga (Moorhead commit), Owen Brezinski - Fury Zurn
Nick Taylor - Lightning Ellerbusch
Bryce Gaustad - Northstar Titans Stone

Bracket Predictions
Quarterfinals: Comets Elite over Titans Stone, Fury Zurn over Team Warwick Warner, Fury Goring over Lightning Ellerbusch, North Dakota Phenom Symens over Sanford South Dakota Black

Semifinals: Fury Zurn over Comets Elite, North Dakota Phenom over Fury Goring

Championship: North Dakota Phenom over Fury Zurn to replicate similar results to this year's Scheels Series that ND Phenom won over Fury Goring.

16U
The 16s are divided into 8 top pools of 3 with 2 more stray pools.  The winners of those 8 top pools advance to the championship bracket.   2 pool games on Friday with the 8 team bracket on Saturday.  The host Comets and loaded top Team Warwick crews get Whitney Rec games on Friday to start the tourney.  Those will begin my viewing.

Plenty of talent to watch here too.  17 of the top 18 players in the South Dakota 2028 Prep Hoop rankings are coming.  16 of them in this division with 1 playing up in the 17s.  Team Warwick stars Ryan Dieleman and Sully Felberg lead that list. Both have offers from South Dakota and South Dakota St.  North Dakota Phenom 16s have 3 of the top North Dakota 2028s.  The top 2029 in the Dakotas is Noah Woods.  He'll be playing with the D1 Minnesota 15s.

3 Minnesota kids at 16U playing up in the 17s
Thomas Jordan and Eli Hegle - Buffalo Legacy
Moussa Dukuly - D1 MN Gold

Other Minnesota names to watch in the 16s
Brady Molenaar, Nolan Greene, Brooks Rechtzigel, Gavin Bauer, Ben Koch - Fury Wilde
Zeid Ndiaye - Heat Dedina
Ben Banwart - Team Hudson

Pool Winner Predictions
Comets Elite
West Central United
Team Hudson
Heat Dedina
Team Warwick Shane
North Dakota Phenom
D1 Minnesota 15s
Fury Wilde

Bracket Predictions
Love the 16s bracket.  You have a really good Team Warwick squad with the most talent and they're huge plus skilled.  Not to mention their sets are as good as any you'll see in summer ball anywhere.  Then you have Fury Wilde who won the Scheels and the NHR State Tourneys in May.  West Central United won the Prep Hoops Region tournament in between that.

Quarterfinals: West Central United over Comets, Team Hudson over Heat Dedina, Team Warwick over ND Phenom, Fury Wilde over D1 15s.

Semis: West Central United over Team Hudson, Team Warwick over Fury Wilde

Championship: Team Warwick over West Central United.

2026 Section Finals Preview

15 metro area section finals between tonight and tomorrow.  Let's take a quick look at each.

4A: 1 Liberty vs 2 Heritage.  Sam Rupnow 2 big games in 2 Liberty wins over Heritage this season in MCAA play.  But Aaron Palmer is back for Heritage and that's a big difference.  But don't sleep on Liberty's Jimmy Youtsey, he's overshadowed by the Liberty backcourt but is a factor on their front line. Liberty moves on.

4AA: 1 Minnehaha vs 2 St. Croix Lutheran.  Minnehaha won the regular season meeting easily on President's Day. Too much Kellen Troup in this one for Minnehaha.  Redhawks move on for the 10th straight year.

5AA: 3 Maranatha vs 9 Blake.  Blake knocked off top seed Holy Family and then won at Minneapolis North in the semis.  Maranatha avenged a regular season loss to SW Christian by thumping them in the semis.  Maranatha has won 19 in a row and beat Blake by 10 a month ago. The Carson McMichael vs Marcus Marshall matchup fun to watch.  Blake will hang around but not sure they have enough firepower to win.

3AAA: 1 Minneapolis South vs 2 South St. Paul.  LA Gales has been a revelation on the South frontline.  South St. Paul has struggled vs size all year.  South wins behind a big night from Gales.

4AAA: 1 De La Salle vs 2 Mahtomedi.  Too much De La Salle defense here and the game is on the island.

5AAA: 1 Totino-Grace vs 2 Becker.  TG rolls.

6AAA: 1 Richfield vs 2 Orono.  Richfield won at Orono in December by 23, but it was 27 at the half.  Orono needs to keep this one slow and make a bunch of 3s to have a chance.

1AAAA: 1 Lakeville South vs 2 Farmington.  These teams split the regular season with road wins.  Lakeville South won the last meeting and lost the 1st meeting at home by 4.  South will rely on their balanced attack.  Farmington got 28 pts from Briggs Sheridan in the win and 12 in the loss.  I think Farmington's the tougher team and that gets them thru.

2AAAA: 1 Prior Lake vs 2 Chaska.  Chaska has won 21 in a row since losing to Prior Lake 69-66 in the Shakopee holiday classic.  Tyler Forrest 4-15 in that game, Eli Herzog 0-7.  I can see Prior Lake trying Kobby Sambrew on him.  Prior Lake's size is an advantage for them.  Chaska's perimeter play is their advantage.  Role guys like Cole Brinkman and Jed Keenan will be key.  Prior Lake wins another classic.

3AAAA: 1 Eagan vs 3 Apple Valley.  Finishing up the trio of South Suburban sections, this should be another classic.  The teams split with Apple Valley winning by 7 at Eagan but losing by 1 at home.  Great matchup of do everything point forwards Alex Schroepfer and Camare Young.  Those 2 will get theirs.  Which supporting cast steps up here?  Kevin Kemp 2 total points in the 2 games.  Eagan needs him to be a factor.  Eagan moves on.

4AAAA: 1 Tartan vs 3 CDH.  This one should be a classic.  Jason Johnson defending KJ Wilson is a great matchup, but can CDH keep Tartan from ignoring Johnson on the other end.  Neither team gets much from their bench.  Tartan will need to keep Dre Frierson-Hollie off the offensive glass.  Emannuel Oyesanmi vs Ty Schlagel is a fun wing matchup.  Tartan moves on.

5AAAA: 1 Maple Grove vs 2 Osseo.  Great rivalry game here.  Osseo has won 14 of their last 15 over the last 2 months.  Maple Grove has won 11 of 12.  Max Iversen has been terrific in that stretch.  Maple Grove wins.

6AAAA: 1 Wayzata vs 2 Hopkins.  Speaking of rivalries, this one should be electric.  Wayzata won both regular season meetings (4 and 15 pt games).  Isaac Olmstead is back for Wayzata which is a major addition.  Jayden Moore will get his, but how the Hopkins supporting cast does will be key.

7AAAA: 1 Blaine vs 2 Andover.  Background is very interesting here.  Blaine won the 1st game of the year at Andover by 22, then Andover won the rematch at Blaine a month ago by 28 and scored 102.  Joey Mapson 30 in the win, 9 in the loss for Andover.  Andover very reliant on the 3 point shot.  If they make 14 like they did in the win, then its a game.  Blaine at home and a better ability to get to the rim.  Coin flip goes to the home team.

8AAAA: 1 Alexandria vs 3 Elk River.  Elk River went up to Alexandria and took them to OT back in December losing 70-68 but Talan Witt didn't play for Alexandria in that one.  Alex with too much firepower here.  They move on.

2026 Better Than Chalk Section Predictions

The 2025-26 regular season is in the books.  Now the playoffs are here and its time for the best 2 weeks in basketball, section play.  That means its time for the 2026 Better Than Chalk Section Predictions.  Last year was a rough year as high seeds dominated and I finished way underwater.

A reminder on the rules of this friendly and for entertainment purposes only game.  Any fool can pick nothing but top seeds (aka chalk) and then claim they were something like 306-13 on their picks.  My mission is to do better than that bracket.  I also pick all games at the start of the playoffs rather than going round by round to increase the challenge.  I don't get any chance to make up for my mistakes by picking day by day.

Not happy with how I picked your team?  Use the hashtag #ShockTheCzar on X and on your locker room/virtual whiteboards to express your outrage.  I'll pick games for every metro team that I previewed.  That means 15 full sections plus bonus selected games from 5 other sections.  So without delay, here we go. 

Section 2A (Bonus Pick)
Mayer Lutheran wins their 4 vs 13 game over BOLD on Tuesday.  Then they bow out late Thursday to 5 seed Nicollet.

Section 4A
Tuesday Pigtail Round 1:  10 Metro Schools College Prep over 15 Aim Academy, 11 Trinity over 14 Community of Peace, 12 Exploration over 13 International School
Thursday Pigtail Round 2 (Seeds 5-9 enter): 5 Ubah over Exploration, 6 West Lutheran over Trinity, 7 CHOF over MSCP, 8 Avail over MN Transitions
Saturday Quarterfinals (Seeds 1-4 enter): 1 Liberty over Avail, 2 Heritage over CHOF, 3 United Christian over W Lutheran, 4 Hope over 5 Ubah.
Tuesday Semis: Liberty over Hope, Heritage over United Christian
Friday Final (5:30 PM St. Thomas Academy): Liberty over Heritage

9 of the 24 teams are not playing sections, but we will have the Aim Academy Arctic as they go across town to be eliminated by MSCP in round 1.  Pigtail rules of always pick home team apply there.  Keep an eye on the 6/11 game on Thursday.  Trinity only had 4 wins but 1 of them was over West Lutheran to start the season.  I like West Lutheran at home in a tight one.  Rest of those 2nd round games aren't competitive.

The heavy hitters enter on Saturday and its all chalk from there.  Liberty steamrolls their way thru as there's no answer for Sam Rupnow.  Heritage survived United Christian in an early season close win but they have Aaron Palmer back now.  They'll make the final but had no answers for Liberty in the regular season.

Section 5A (Bonus Pick)
North Lakes handles Ogilvie in the 8/9 Monday pigtail.   But they'll bow out to top seed Braham on Thursday.

Section 4AA
Mon Pigtail Round 1: 16 LILA over 17 Hmong
Tues Pigtail Round 2: 9 Higher Ground over LILA, 10 Twin Cities Academy over 15 Math & Science, 11 Mounds Park Academy over 14 Nova Classical, 12 St. Agnes over 13 St. Paul Harding
Th Pigtail Round 3: 8 Washington over 9 Higher Ground, 7 New Life over 10 Twin Cities Academy, 6 St. Croix Prep over Mounds Park, 5 Concordia over 12 St. Agnes
Sat Quarterfinals:  1 Minnehaha over St. Paul Washington, 2 St. Croix Lutheran over New Life, 3 St. Paul Academy over 6 St. Croix Prep, 5 Concordia over 4 Humboldt
Tues Semis:  Minnehaha over Concordia, St. Croix Lutheran over St. Paul Academy
Fri Final (8 PM St. Thomas Academy): Minnehaha over St. Croix Lutheran

The opening Tuesday games are the most interesting set of games.  The 13-15 seeds all have a good shot of being lower seeds moving on but I don't have the courage to pick any of them. Then on Saturday, St Croix Prep just beat Humboldt and Concordia beat Prep twice so give me Concordia there.  Rest is chalk.  St. Croix Lutheran matches up well with SPA in a battle of guard laden teams.  SCL got the regular season win and do so again in the semi.  Minnehaha handled St. Croix Lutheran in the regular season and I think they do it again in the final.

Section 5AA
Monday Pigtail Round 1: 16 Eagle Ridge over 17 Cristo Rey
Tuesday Pigtail Round 2: 9 Blake over Eagle Ridge, 10 Dassel-Cokato over Brooklyn Center, 11 Rockford over 14 Providence, 13 Jordan over 12 Parnassus
Thursday Pigtail Round 3: 5 Hiawatha over Jordan, 6 Howard Lake-Waverly-Winstead over Rockford, 7 Breck over Dassel-Cokato, Blake over 8 Watertown-Mayer
Saturday Quarterfinals: 1 Holy Family over Blake, 2 SW Christian over Breck, 3 Maranatha over HLWW, 5 Hiawatha over 4 Minneapolis North
Tuesday Semis: Holy Family over Hiawatha, SW Christian over Maranatha
Friday Final (Augsburg): Holy Family over SW Christian

Keep an eye on the Tuesday 11 vs 14 game.  Rockford won the regular season meeting by 2. Also give me Jordan to win on the road with a big game from Mitchell Schmidt.  Blake beat Belle Plaine while Watertown-Mayer got blown out.  Blake better win at Jordan and W-M has lost 6 in a row.  Give me the Bears on the road.  On Saturday I love the 4 vs 5 game.  Hiawatha lost at North big in their season opener but they've won 15 of their last 16.  King James and the Hiawatha size is a major problem for North.  But the North guards (J'Marion Sanders, Cordae Williams) and pressure is something Hiawatha needs to figure out.  Give me Hiawatha here in a high intensity game.  

Then a couple of very close semifinals.  Hiawatha beat Holy Family by 1 in the regular seaon but that was at Hiawatha.  King James with 27 and 15 in that game.  Holy Family squeaks out a win on home court.  SW Christian beat Maranatha over the Christmas holiday thanks to big games from Jed Streed and Jameson McCarthy and foul trouble from Marcus Marshall. The Mustangs haven't lost since that game.  SW Christian survives at home.  The championship should be a classic.  You have 2 terrific coaches who have battled for years going back to their Lake Conference days.  Holy Family won 2 very close games in the regular season to win the Wright County East.  Can we move the game to Chanhassen?  Stops very hard to come by for both teams.  Holy Family's shooting vs SW Christian's front line is a story to watch.  Holy Family finds a way and moves on.
     

Section 6AA (Bonus Picks)
Legacy goes on the road and beats PACT in the 8 vs 9 game on Thursday.  Then top seed Albany beats them on Super Saturday at St. John's.  Spectrum takes over Royalton in the 5 vs 12 game.  They'll bow out in the next game at St. John's against 4 seed St. Cloud Cathedral.

Section 2AAA (Bonus Pick)
For the 2nd straight year, Hutchinson opens the playoffs at St. Peter in a rematch of a regular season game.  For the 2nd straight year, Hutch is eliminated in that game.

Section 3AAA
Wed Qtrs: 5 St. Paul Highland Park at 4 Simley, 7 St. Paul Como Park at 2 South St. Paul, 6 Roosevelt at 3 St. Thomas Academy
Sat Semis:  1 South over Highland Park, South St. Paul over St. Thomas Academy
Th Final: South over South St. Paul

Highland Park gets Simley again to move on.  SSP no problems with Como Park.  St. Thomas Academy gets a scare at home before moving on.  South St. Paul won both meetings with the Cadets during the regular season and they'll win the 3rd at home.  South continues a magical season taking out SSP in the final.

Section 4AAA
Monday Pigtail: 9 North St. Paul at 8 Minneapolis Edison
Wed Qtrs: 1 De La Salle over Edison, 4 St. Anthony over 5 Columbia Heights, 2 Mahtomedi over 7 Minneapolis Camden, 3 St. Paul Johnson over 6 Hill-Murray
Sat semis: De La Salle over St. Anthony, Mahtomedi over St. Paul Johnson
Th Final: De La Salle over Mahtomedi.

By default rule of pick home team in the pigtail, give me Edison to be the sacrificial lamb for De La Salle.  Mahtomedi and Johnson win their openers easily.  Great constrast between old Metro Alliance rivals in the 4 vs 5 game.  These teams split the season series.  St. Anthony has won 9 of their last 10 starting with a win over Heights and a good win to end the regular season against St. Croix Lutheran.  WOOF!  Give me the Huskies to advance.  De La Salle beats them soundly for a 3rd time in the semis.  Mahtomedi out executes Johnson at home to move on before losing on the island in the final.

Section 5AAA
Wed Qtrs: 5 Princeton over 4 Big Lake, 2 Becker over 7 St. Francis, 3 Zimmerman over 6 Fridley
Fri Semis: 1 Totino-Grace over Princeton, Becker over Zimmerman
Th Final (Neutral): Totino-Grace over Becker

Princeton lost 2 close games to Big Lake in the regular season.  Princeton wins the important one in another game that is in the 80s.  Becker and Zimmerman move on to clash in a close semi before Becker moves on.  Totino-Grace steamrolls everybody here.

Section 6AAA
Mon Pigtail: 9 Westonka over 8 Cooper
Wed Qtrs: 1 Richfield over Westonka, 5 Delano over 4 Holy Angels, 3 Benilde-St. Margaret's over  6 Minneapolis Southwest, 2 Orono over 7 Bloomington Kennedy
Sat Semis (2 PM): Richfield over Delano, Orono over Benilde-St. Margaret's
Th Final: Richfield over Orono

In the pigtail, Westonka can struggle to score but I think Mika James and Marcus Lessor give them enough to move on.  The reward is getting blown out by Richfield.  BSM and Orono move on but Southwest gives Benilde a game.  I love the Delano vs AHA game.  Delano is hot right now and Blake Nixon is still out for Holy Angels.  Give me Delano here.  Richfield no problem in the semis.  Orono gets a 3rd close win over BSM.  Richfield too much again for Orono in the final.

Section 7AAA (Bonus Picks)
Grand Rapids takes out 8 seed North Branch in round 1.  Then the Thunder-Thunder-Thunder-Hawks take out 4 seed Chisago Lakes in the semis.  Chisago Lakes no problems in their home rematch with Hermantown in the 1st round.

Section 1AAAA
Wed Qtrs: 1 Lakeville South over 8 Rochester John Marshall, 4 Lakeville North over Owatonna, 3 Rochester Mayo over 6 Rochester Century, 2 Farmington over 7 New Prague.
Sat Semis: Lakeville South over Lakeville North, Rochester Mayo over Farmington
Fri Final (Mayo Arena): Rochester Mayo over Lakeville South

Opening round is chalk with not much debate.  The battle of Lakeville in 1 semi is an attention getter.  North won both meetings against South this year, but I'm going with South to win the one that matters.  Farmington beat Mayo over the holidays but Mayo was without Reggie Parker and Logan Shimek for that game.  Mayo is now back to full strength and those 2 give them the necessary physical presence. They've lost only once since that Farmington game and that was a 2 point game at Apple Valley.  They take out both South Suburban foes to move on to state.

Section 2AAAA
Wed Qtrs: 4 Waconia over 5 Chan, 2 Chaska over 7 Shakopee, 3 Eden Prairie over 6 Minnetonka
Sat Semis (noon): 1 Prior Lake over Waconia, Chaska over Eden Prairie
Fri Final: Prior Lake over Chaska

Are you not entertained?!  The section of doom won't disappoint this year either.  Waconia wins again over Chanhassen.  Chaska too much for Shakopee.  Keep an eye on this 3 vs 6 game.  Minnetonka just beat Eden Prairie on Friday.  Bryce Tesdahl coaching his tail off with this group.  The Skippers can struggle offensively which makes you wonder if they have enough to keep up with the high powered EP offense.  I like Eden Prairie here but its a battle.  Prior Lake wins a revenge match with Waconia.  Ditto that for Chaska and EP.  I was surprised the head to head win didn't move EP up.  Great point guard matchup there of Hamze Yusuf and Tyler Forrest.  I think Chaska's defense is just a bit better and that moves them on.  Prior Lake's size is too much in the final

Section 3AAAA
Tues Qtrs: 1 Eagan over 8 Bloomington Jefferson at 1 Eagan, 5 Eastview over 4 Park, 2 Rosemount over 7 Burnsville, 3 Apple Valley over 6 Hastings
Fri Semis: Eagan over Eastview, Apple Valley over Rosemount  
Th Final: Eagan over Apple Valley

Top 3 seeds no problem in round 1.  Park isn't deep and not sure they can score enough.  Give me Eastview in that game as I don't like chalk everywhere.   In the semis, Eastview will keep it interesting for a while but Eagan will pull away.  Yes Rosemount just won at Apple Valley by 2, but Apple Valley won by 15 in the 1st meeting.  I like Apple Valley's big game experience and Camare Young here.  Then another rubber match where Apple Valley won on the road.  Eagan at home and their depth makes a difference.  I think they do enough to slow Apple Valley down and Kevin Kemp is a difference maker in that game. Eagan moves on.

Section 4AAAA
Wed Qtrs: 1 Tartan over 8 Two Rivers, 4 St. Paul Central over 5 Stillwater, 2 East Ridge over 7 White Bear Lake, 3 Cretin-Derham Hall over 6 Woodbury
Sat Semis: Tartan over Central, Cretin-Derham Hall over East Ridge
Th Final: Tartan over Cretin-Derham Hall

Top 3 seeds in big fashion in the 1st round.  Central and Stillwater meet in round 1 for the 4th straight year.  Central wins a close one. CDH has arguably done the best job defending Cedric Tomes of anybody.  They can throw a bunch of guys at him and still have plenty of offense.  I like CDH here in that rubber match.  Tartan no problems in their semi.  Then you get KJ Wilson vs JoJo Mitchell and Emmanuel Oyesanmi vs Ty Schlagel in a section final.  Yes Please!  No Tommy Ahneman type problem for Tartan to deal with.  Tartan squeaks by on home court.

Section 5AAAA
Tues Qtrs: 1 Maple Grove over 8 Park Center, 2 Osseo over 7 Irondale, 3 Champlin Park over Spring Lake Park, 4 Mounds View over 5 Roseville.
Fri Semis: Maple Grove over Mounds View, Champlin Park over Osseo
Fri Final: Maple Grove over Champlin Park

Tuesday quarters see the top 2 seeds move on without trouble.  I'm surprised Roseville is on the road considering they split with Mounds View and were 1 game better in the Suburban East.  Splitting hairs with these 2 teams and home court is the difference.  1 meeting was 48-44.  That's a Mounds View style game and they can control pace.  They advance before losing to Maple Grove in the semis.  Champlin Park is night and day different with Gavin Walter back.  They should have fought for the 2 seed and got it.  They move on over Osseo in the semis.  But not after a severe test from Spring Lake Park in the 3 vs 6 quarterfinal.  Get your popcorn battle there between Walter and Nolan Myren there.  Maple Grove has Max Iversen playing too well right now.  Maple Grove moves on to state.

Section 6AAAA
Tues Qtrs: 4 Edina over 5 St. Louis Park, 2 Hopkins over 7 Armstrong, 3 Buffalo over 6 Washburn 
Tues Semis: 1 Wayzata over Edina, Hopkins over Buffalo
Fri Final:  Wayzata over Hopkins

No surprises in the quarters.  In the semis, Hopkins had a great week winning at De La Salle and at Buffalo.  I think that translates into winning the rubber match at home against Buffalo.  Then the dynamite rematch, again, in the section finals.  Hopkins sent Phil Ward to his head coaching retirement.  Would only be fitting that coach Novak goes out against Wayzata. Wayzata wins another instant classic.
    
Section 7AAAA
Wed Qtrs: 1 Blaine over 8 Cambridge-Isanti, 2 Andover over 7 Centennial, 3 Anoka over 6 Duluth East, 5 Coon Rapids over 4 Forest Lake (7 PM start)
Sat Semis (highest seed 1/3 PM): Blaine over Coon Rapids, Anoka over Andover
Th Final: Anoka over Blaine

Top 3 seeds too much firepower in the opening round.  Tons of little guards on display in the Coon Rapids game.  Let's go Coon Rapids here as I like their recent results better.  Then the north river Anoka-Hennepin district championships.  The East division semi Blaine no problem with Coon Rapids.  The west division one is a great rivalry.  Andover has 2 close head to head wins in the matchups.  Anoka after a rough start has won 10 of 12 with 1 of those being an Andover loss.  I'm going with my preseason stubbornness and the theory that its hard to beat a team 3 times.  Anoka too much size here and it pays off in a high scoring game (both games were in the 80s).  Give me the same theory in the final.  Blaine was the other loss late for Anoka but this isn't the same Blaine team we saw early.  Anoka gets it done on the road.

Section 8AAAA
Tues Qtrs: 1 Alexandria over 8 STMA, 4 Monticello over 5 Moorhead, 2 Bemidji over 7 Rogers, 3 Elk River over 6 Brainerd
Fri Semis: Alexandria over Monticello, Elk River over Bemidji
Th Final: Alexandria over Elk River

On Tuesday, give me chalk.  Moorhead at Monticello is too good for a 4 vs 5 game.  Moorhead hasn't been the same without David Mack though and Monticello should be motivated in this rematch (lost in December) after getting shafted out of the 3 seed.  In the semis, Elk River takes their 3 seed and proves it as they just beat Bemidji at home.  Give me metro bias and a repeat with Elk River winning that semi.  Then another rematch in the final.  Elk River took Alexandria to the limit in OT at Alexandria already this season.  But that was without Talan Witt.  Alexandria at full strength moves on.

STORYLINES
3 major pieces return from injury in these playoffs.  Jamestown commit Reggie Parker is back on the front line for Rochester Mayo.  Aaron Palmer returns for Heritage. PG Malachi Hill is back for Totino-Grace.  Not that Totino-Grace needed the help but a difference maker like that can't be ignored.

On the other side, we have the injured.  Will Minneapolis South have Jake Dixon back?  Will Isaac Olmstead be able to return for Wayzata?  Wayzata though is as well-suited as anybody to take on a guard injury with the deep bench they have.  Will Blake Nixon be back for Holy Angels?

Then there's the Hopkins opener against Armstrong.  A win would give coach Ken Novak the all-time wins record passing Bob McDonald and a chance that it might be his last win ever if they go out in a tough semifinal and he chooses to retire.
