Week 7 thoughts and Week 8 Schedule

Calvin Walker got his 1000th pt last night for St. Anthony, a nice moment. Considering they beat Lake City 81-46, it was about the only noteworthy thing from the game, though I did like Lake City sophomore center Drew Swanson (15 pts). Earlier in the season, I made a Chris Mullin reference for Heritage's John Hirte. I replace that reference with Walker. He's a crafty lefty who upon 1st glance you'd never think would put up 20-25 a night. Nice player and they run good stuff for him.

In other Saturday action, Rogers pulls a huge upset 69-68 at Princeton in overtime. The rematch is Tues Feb 12th at Rogers. Edina blows out Willmar at Willmar which is also a surprise.

Week 8 Schedule
Mon: Cloquet at Mounds View. Chad Calcaterra is back for Cloquet and scored 5 pts vs Hibbing on Thursday night in his 1st game back and 10 pts last night in a blow out of Proctor. It'll be interesting to see how many minutes he plays. Its also my 1st chance to see Mounds View this season which should be fun.

Tues: Shakopee at Concordia, other games of note are from the poll. Eastview at Kennedy in a big Lake Conference game, Rosemount at Burnsville, DLS at Henry, AHA at Washburn, MN Transitions at CHOF.

Th: Burnsville at Eastview. Looking forward to seeing the Blaze and the Lightning for the 1st time this season. Also North at Washburn in a big Mpls City matchup.

Fri: Johnson at Central or Spring Lake Park at BSM in big conference matchups. Also Shakopee at St. Louis Park, Burnsville at Hopkins and Edina at St. Bernard's.

Sat: Arlington at Roseville (1:30) and STMA at Richfield (7:30)
