Minnesota-Scores.net: Class AAA Playoff Scenarios

Section 2AAA

Scenarios:

Holy Family is a fairly safe #1 with a very winnable game vs. Denfeld.
Washburn is very safe to get at least the #2
Belle Plaine win or Waseca loss and BP is #3.
Belle Plaine loss and Waseca win moves Waseca to #3.
5-6-7 is win and move up – lose and possibly fall. All three win or all three lose and the order should stay Highland Park | Richfield | St. Peter.
Jordan locked at #8

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 3AAA

Scenarios:

Logjam at the top
Everything hinges on the Glencoe-Silver Lake/Delano game. If GSL wins, they will be number 1. If they lose and both Fairmont and Monte win, GSL falls to 3. Main reason is GSL’s 6 wins are over teams either 2-5 or 3-4. Nobody over .500. These three will be 1-2-3 in some order.
Logjam in the middle

AND everybody except New Ulm is a pickem game.
If Dassel beats Annandale, they will be fighting with the Redwood Valley/Worthington winner to host the 4-5 matchup.
Watertown-Mayer win could push them up to as high as 6 depending on who the other losers are.

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 4AAA

Scenarios:

St. Croix Lutheran is safe at #1
St. Anthony Village should be ok at #2. St. Paul Johnson drew Mlps Southwest in the Twin Cities game – beating a 4 win AAAAA team is worth quite a bit, but it doesn’t look like it will be quite enough to push past St. Anthony.
They can push past Concordia into 3^rd, however. But if Johnson loses to Southwest they are more than likely headed to the 4 seed.
If Minnehaha beats DeLaSalle they can get past a losing Johnson into 4^th, probably not catch Concordia but it is fairly close.
New Life is safe at 6, Como Park at 7 and SPA/MPA at 8

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 5AAA

Scenarios:

DeLaSalle is #1
Providence Academy is #2
Breck/Blake/Rockford/Henry
Breck win and they are #3 – Rockford/Henry can move past Blake if they win.
Blake win, and Rockford/Henry win – all four teams could be 3-4-5-6. (and will play each other in some form in the first round).
Columbia Heights is locked in at #7.

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 6AAA

Scenarios:

A lot of even games this week, which is making the scenarios more difficult to decipher.
St. Cloud Cathedral can pass Zimmerman if they both win because Zimmerman is playing a zero win team and Cathedral is playing a 6-win AAAA team. But it will be close.
Winner of NLS and Albany will be ahead of the other one, and could get close to/pass Cathedral if they lose to Rocori.
Loser of NLS/Albany needs to be worried about getting passed by Foley.
Litchfield is 6 with a win.
Annandale can slide into 6 with a win and Litchfield loss….Melrose is locked into 8.

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 7AAA

Scenarios:

With a win, Greenway should stay in number 1
With a win, Pine City should stay in number 2
Proctor/Virginia winner should be number 3
Proctor/Virginia loser should be number 4, unless Esko or Mora win.
Esko and Mora lose, Esko at 5, Mora and Cloquet close for 6-7 if Cloquet wins.
Cloquet/International Falls need to win or hope Milaca loses, Milaca win and they will probably make it in.

Most likely outcome (no upsets):

Section 8AAA

Scenarios:

This is another Section where teams are beating each other which makes them close together in the standings.
Pequot Lakes wins and they are #1
Thief River Falls wins and a logjam is created with PL/TRF and Perham. Perham win over EGF appears to give them a slight edge. Too close to call. These three teams will be 1-2-3 no matter what.
If EGF can beat Perham, they will lock up #4. If not, they need Roseau to beat Park Rapids to get #4.
Park Rapids win over Pequot Lakes in week 4 is holding them up high in the QRF. If they beat Roseau they will be 4 will EGF loss, 5 with EGF win.
Roseau win pushes them ahead of Crookston, as Crookston will be an underdog to Detroit Lakes.
Staples needs help to get out of #8.

Most likely outcome (no upsets):
