Buesgen’s notes:

1.)Fort Ripley - Many good reports

2.)DC- Concerned about poor GI Tourney but know they are better than that

3.)Blue Earth- Won the GI Tourney with numerous top 10 teams in it

4.)Loretto- Have had a couple of losses they shouldn't have the last 2 weeks

6.)Sacred Heart- Sources say they looked very good at GI tourney

Johnson’s notes:

New to my rankings: Howard Lake, Sobieski, St. Cloud Snappers

Dropped from my rankings: Milroy, Nisswa, Midway, Belle Plaine

Fairmont and Blue Earth have a big rematch on the 19th.  Playoffs will be starting soon.  Then we'll see how good some of these teams really are.

Bnbaseballguy’s notes:

Fort Ripley was second in Arlington/Gaylord tourney and has been playing great.  I just don’t think they are as tested as Blue Earth.  Nisswa has been getting beat up a little lately and has dropped out of my top ten.  Northfield has beaten every C team in their league and is playing very well.  Last week of ball before the playoffs start.

If Jordan had beaten Chaska the last week, I thought that they would have to be in the top ten.  Chaska ended up beating them.  Austin and Rochester both were in the semi-finals of the SpamTown tournament and are starting to jell and play good ball.  Red Wing has had a great year so far and beat Miesville yesterday 4-3.  Miesville can still play with anyone.  Coon Rapids and Blaine keep chugging along and will be a force come playoffs.  Don’t let Shakopee lull you to sleep…They have an excellent team and will be right in the thick of things.  The only thing that worries me about Sauk Rapids is that they haven’t played enough games.  They can go with their whole team and best pitchers most of the time and that is a good scenario to win games, but not necessarily to win tournaments.
