The Review
At the Top – 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).
The Surprise – 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.
What Happened? – 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.
