Lake Wobegon Is Nationally Ranked

I'm not a big fan of A Prairie Home Companion. The stories are entertaining but Garrison's singing grows old about 1/2 way through the first song he sings. And me his breathing into the microphone ranks right up there with listening to someone drag their fingernails across the chalk board. I thought of him when I saw his hometown Anoka boys high school soccer team was ranked 6th in the country in the latest NSCAA poll.

25 Marquette Univ. High (Milwaukee, Wis.) 14-4-3

BTW - Props to Aurora's Grandview HS for makign the list, too. Considering how many MLS players have came out of Colorado it's a bit surprising there isn't a second Colorado team on the list.
