The Conference Review – Suburban East

<p>The Suburban East.  Won by East Ridge but CDH beat the Raptors to earn the state section title.  We honor both teams and the rest of the SEC today. </p> <p><strong>The Final Standings (with the NHR Prediction)</strong></p> <ol> <li>East Ridge (2)</li> <li>Cretin-Derham Hall (1)</li> <li>Woodbury (3)</li> <li>Mounds View (4)</li> <li>White Bear Lake (6)</li> <li>Irondale (8)</li> <li>Forest Lake (7)</li> <li>Stillwater (10)</li> <li>Roseville (5)</li> <li>Park of Cottage Grove (9)</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The Review</strong></p> <p><strong>At the Top</strong> – I predicted CDH to win this league and to win the section, I was half right.  The Raiders beat East Ridge on a buzzer beater to earn their section crown but a CDH loss to Woodbury led to the Raptors getting the SEC tittle (they split the regular season games). </p> <p><strong>The Surprise</strong> –  I expected Woodbury and Mounds View to be in the top four, but I did not expect these teams to win 19 and 20 games overall this season so it was a bit more than myself - and I think others - thought they would win.  Great job by both of those teams. </p> <p><strong>What Happened?</strong>  - Roseville scored only 52 points a game this year which was a key reason they won only five games.  The expectation was just below .500 this year, but it was a tougher year than expected. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Postseason All SEC</strong></p> <p><strong><u>First Team</u></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846105" first="Ben" last="Carlson"] of East Ridge (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="850701" first="Tre" last="Holloman"] of CDH (Soph)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846110" first="J’Vonne" last="Hadley"] of CDH (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846128" first="Curtis" last="Jones"] of CDH (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="850708" first="Kendall" last="Blue"] of East Ridge (Soph)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u>Second Team</u></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="774752" first="Bradley" last="Cimperman"] of Woodbury (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="774870" first="Evan" last="Kim"] of Mounds View (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="721938" first="Brody" last="Kriesel"] of East Ridge (Sr)</p> <p>Iggy Ejiofor of Irondale (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="956148" first="Kwame" last="Herzog"] of Irondale (Sr)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u>Third Team</u></strong></p> <p>Jack Janicki of White Bear Lake (Fr)</p> <p>Max Shikenjanski of Stillwater (Fr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846138" first="Amari" last="Carter"] of CDH (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="850723" first="Dylan" last="Wheeler"] of Mounds View (Soph)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="955873" first="Brice" last="Peters"] of White Bear Lake (Sr)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u>Fourth Team</u></strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846235" first="Parker" last="McMorrow"] of Woodbury (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846237" first="Thomas" last="Gebhardt"] of Mounds View (Sr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="957215" first="Kanye" last="Raheem"] White Bear Lake (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="774888" first="Jordan" last="Boysen"] of Forest Lake (Jr)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="846252" first="Keyshawn" last="Payne"] of Roseville (Sr)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
