Lots of wild scores this week and another upcoming week of great matchups.  Edina boys and PL girls have solidified their status as the front runners - but, the mighty middle continues to get bigger and bigger.  Could be in store for a crazy month of MAY MADNESS

Week 3 was awesome, we had some big matchups, some crazy scores and maybe even some more upsets? Depends who you ask.  But... Nonetheless, some teams are popping up on the radar

LaxNumbers has their first live ranking of the year.  Some interesting disparity between the voting polls

Some more upsets on the girls side.  The Wayzata Trojans might be a top 5 team.

And... like it or not, we are in a tornado watch... the Anoka Boys are 4-0 with a huge win over Andover

This will be a great opportunity for MN players to get a recruiting look and should be on all boys players radar's as they build their summer schedule
