Bemidji goes both ways
The league runs no tournament of its own. The association runs in-season tournaments and the state tournament, bracketed by classification.
Bemidji Bucks and Hibbing go into Class A Section 5. Bemidji Blue Ox and Roseau into Class B District 5. Agassiz, Fosston, Rainy Lake and Warroad into Class C Region 4.
So Bemidji ends the summer represented in two separate brackets.
Roseau arrive top of the league at 8-2.
High Cheese builds and runs a bracket seeded off the standings a league already keeps.
