Last Week in the MBSLA

It was another big week in the MBSLA including the big lax shootout in Grand Rapids, MN.  Several of the best teams in the MBSLA were in Grand Rapids to duke it out including Delano and St. Louis Park as well as all of the MBSLA North teams.

In the MBSLA, Delano is proving that they're the team to beat in 2011.  Last Monday, Delano pasted last years state runner-up Orono 13-6 and remain unbeaten on the season after winning this weekends tournament in Grand Rapids.

There was a lot of action in the MBSLA North starting with games played last Sunday May 1 in Sartell, MN.  In the game of the day in the MBSLA North, St. Cloud North knocked off Duluth in a close 5-4 game that went into overtime.  With this win, St. Cloud North may be the favorite in the North.  Also Sunday, Fargo lost to St. Louis Park and Hudson.

On Tuesday, Duluth took out a little bit of their frustration following their close loss to St. Cloud North by beating Grand Rapids 16-4.

Over the weekend several of the state's top MBSLA teams and three Canadian teams converged on Grand Rapids to compete in what might be the premier spring lacrosse tournament in the state.  The well organized tournament saw Delano come out on top among the Varsity teams.  All of the MBSLA North teams were present and several good games ensued.  Among the most watched games between MBSLA North teams, was the rematch between Duluth and St. Cloud North.  In this game, Duluth enacted a measure of revenge and came out on top 7-0.  With Duluth, St. Cloud North and Brainerd all in the mix, the MBSLA North tournament should be interesting.

In the middle school tournament, the Duluth-Superior middle school team finished the tournament 4-1 including an exciting 11-10 come from behind victory over ACYLA.
