Boys High School Best Taken to the Limit

There were a lot of close calls for top boys high school hockey teams Thursday night, but they all managed to squeak by. #1 ranked Eau Claire Memorial slid past River Falls 3 to 2 while crosstown rival and Honorable Mention Eau Claire North nipped Chippewa Falls 5 to 4. Stevens Point, currently ranked #2 by Wisconsin Prep Hockey needed overtime to defeat Wausau West 6 to 5. Number 9 ranked Wisconsin Rapids actually won handily 5 to 0 over Marshfield, as did Hockey in Wisconsin's darkhorse of the season Mosinee. They handled Park Falls 9 to 0.

Tomorrow night will feature #8 Marquette in action vs. Milwaukee Pius, as well as Honorable Mention Madison Edgewood at Oregon. Homestead is also on the Honorable Mention list and will square off against Whitefish Bay.
