This Week in the MBSLA

It was a busy week in the MBSLA North. There were also a couple of other big games in the MBSLA that might provide a glimpse into the relative strength of a couple of teams.

Delano versus St. Louis Park

In the MBSLA North Brainerd knocked off Grand Rapids 8-5 on Thursday April, 28.  Also on Thursday in the MBSLA Delano proved they're for real in 2011 knocking off last years state champion St. Louis Park 12-10.

On Saturday Grand Rapids lost to a very good MontiQuois team 19-0.  The previous day, MontiQuois showed how good they can be with a solid 7-1 victory over St. Paul.  Also on Saturday, in their first game of the season (their earlier games against Tartan and St. Paul North were canceled), Duluth-Superior knocked off White Bear Lake 7-2.  Brainerd also played White Bear Lake on Saturday, beating them 8-5.  In the final game of the night, Duluth beat Brainerd 9-1.  With this win over a good Brainerd team, Duluth takes its first step towards cementing themselves as the favorite in the MBSLA North.  Tomorrows Duluth/St. Cloud North game will be the next telling game in the MBSLA North.  Also Saturday Fargo lost to North St. Paul 17-9..

There are more MBSLA North games on tap tomorrow including Grand Rapids taking on St. Cloud North at 11:00 a.m., Duluth taking on St. Cloud North at 3:00 p.m. and Brainerd taking on St. Cloud North at 5:30 p.m. in games that could help determine who will be the MBSLA North favorite.  We anticipate St. Cloud North being fairly tired after their game against Brainerd.  Other Sunday games include Fargo against St. Louis Park and Tartan.  Also in the MBSLA, the game pitting state runner-up Orono against Delano should be a good one.
