Congratulations to the Irish Peewee A Boys who earned the Runner-Up trophy and Team Medals for their District 8 League 2nd place finish. The team compiled an 11-3-2 record along the way with two losses to #1 State Ranked Johnson-Como who went 16-0 in District play and 44-4-2 on the season.
District Playoffs would be tough with Johnson-Como a shoe-in for 1 of the 2 region births awarded to our District. Cottage Grove and IGH wouldn't make things any easier as they finished 3rd and 4th in league play and both were ranked in the Top 25 in State. Unfortunately the Irish were the odd team out losing to both Cottage Grove and IGH in the playoffs to end their season with Johson-Como and IGH earning Regions.
The PWA's had a great season with an overall record of 30-16-2 earning them a the #20 regular season ranking in the State. In addition to their 2nd place league trophy, they would earn 3rd Place honors at Hopkins, Faribault and Warroad and a Championship in Faribault winning the coveted Hot Dog Eating Championship trophy.
