Oh Hermantown, always the bridesmaid but never the bride.
I stand by what KFAN was discussing before the A game this morning; Hermantown needs to stop hiding behind the "we only have 35 kids who try out for the team and going to AA would mean we wouldn't go to the tournament every year." This was an actual quote the StarTrib guy had from them during the Q&A session when Brandon Miliski was asking if the media darling for Hermantown has finally worn off. The whole point of the tournament is for it to be actually, you know, hard to even get to it.
And the AA was amazing. Congrats to Lakeville North and Duluth East on great runs. Duluth East's coach spoke very true words early this morning as well when he got on the high horse about kids leaving HS early to play Juniors.
