I was so surprised by this as well. I thought the first 4 seeds were fine but Beulah getting 5 seed shocked me. I really don’t understand it.

Thanks for looking these up for us! I am a bit shocked to see a team in the State Tournament after only playing 8 games, even with the horrible weather this spring. I am assuming they played at least 3 games in their Regional Tournament so they only played 5 regular season games - that surprises me.

BUT they still get the chance to prove it not like it prevented them from the tournament.

After the fact, it's easier to say it was right or wrong. My only point is winning the first game at any state tourney is the key. Once you get the first win under your belt and confidence built, it can take you a long way. North Star has played opening round 2 years in a row against the eventual state champ. Unlucky draws of course. Young team and without a doubt lack of games hurt them in more ways than just seeding. Hopefully a learning experience and can get there again in next 2 years. Congrats to all teams for making state and to Thompson for winning State Championship. Solid program.
