ANOTHER FALLS EMERGES
International Falls erased sour memories of a year earlier by racing to the state crown by outscoring the opposition by a 17-to-1 margin. The final step was a 3-1 victory over Roseau in the state championship game. The Broncos zipped to a 3-0 lead with three goals in the second period. David Frank had the first goal early in the period, and Oscar Mahle completed the spree with two more. Roseau's goal was the only one allowed by International Falls during the state tournament.
SLAP SHOTS
- Perhaps one of the biggest pieces of news from this tournament is that Eveleth wasn't involved. For the first 12 seasons, the Golden Bears were a fixture with 11 Region 7 titles.
- This tournament tied 1945 and 1997 Class AA for the most shutouts with six.
- From 1945-1956 rosters for teams were set at 12 players. In this 1957 season, the number was increased to 15.
- Two 20-victory teams met in the semifinals, a game that ended with Roseau defeating St. Paul Johnson, 5-4, in two overtimes.
- Tournament Attendance: 33,041
