One of the unenviable tasks of selecting a Metro Top 10 is leaving potentially deserving teams off the list. Win and losses are the standard by which we judge teams, even though, as we've seen often, teams are often better or worse than their record indicates, a reflection of competition played. Take Shakopee. The Sabers have dropped back-to-back games against the Nos. 1 and 3 teams in the metro (Eden Prairie and Minnetonka) and are 3-2. Does that mean they're a lesser bunch than a 4-1 team that played a less rigorous schedule? I highly doubt it.
