Classic Suburban:
- Richfield goes to STA and gives them a game before falling by 8. Richfield's lack of size shows as Alex Schneider gets 25 for the Cadets. Junior sharpshooter Mike Fitzgerald with 19. They hold Renard Robinson to only 9 points. STA stays tied for 2nd with Tartan, 2 games behind Sibley.
- Hopkins blows out Wayzata by 30 in a game that I'll be taping for later review.
- Minnetonka gets 48 in the both halves to beat Edina by 12. The big matchup with Hopkins at Tonka on Friday should be fun but I think Hopkins pulls it out by 10.
- Eden Prairie gets the big road win at Eastview to stay 1 win ahead of Kennedy. Ethan Wragge gets 21 for the Eagles.
- Kennedy gets another close win in the battle of Bloomington with an 8 pt home win over Jefferson.
- Northfield upsets Prior Lake by 12 at home.
- Farmington goes to Holy Angels and wins in triple OT. Farmington now 1 game back of the 4 teams that top the league with 2 losses. But that changes on Thursday as all 4 play each other with New Prague hosting Prior Lake and my game Shakopee at AHA.
- Blaine with a 94-57 blowout of Centennial to win their 3rd in a row. They may be getting hot at the right time.
- Champlin Park has now won 6 out of 7 (after losing 4 of 5) to improve to 8-3 in league play after blowing out Park Center at PC. The 1 loss was a 2 pt OT loss at 7AAAA contender Cambridge-Isanti. They're 1 game ahead of Maple Grove.
- After 4 straight wins, Coon Rapids has now lost 4 out of 5 as they lose to Osseo.
- Benilde-St. Margaret's comes from 7 down at halftime at home to beat Fridley by 4. Jordan Taylor with 30 for the Red Knights.
- Spring Lake Park blows out Irondale to take a 1 win lead for 3rd in the league standings. The 1st meeting went to double OT. Irondale had won 7 of 8 coming into this game with the only loss to BSM.
- Columbia Heights with a 3 pt win at Chisago Lakes as Josh Figini gets 34 for the Wildcats but star soph Jacob Thomas pours in 42 for CH.
- Concordia beats St. Anthony by 4 in a battle of the top 2 scorers in the East division (Zach Towle and Calvin Walker).
- Minnehaha blows out Brooklyn Center 82-58 as the Centaurs slide continues. They fall to 7-5 in the league 2 losses out and have now lost 6 out of 7 after winning 8 in a row. Minnehaha stays 1 back in the loss column behind DLS. Those teams meet next Friday night at DLS.
- St. Bernard's almost has a 20 pt halftime lead at home slip away vs Edison but they win by 4.
- Heritage gets 32 from Stu Herman but they still need overtime to beat Oh Day Aki 64-62 at home. With what I saw of the Oh Day Aki defense earlier in the year, I'm surprised Heritage didn't put up over 85 in this game to win easily. But the more I see Heritage results the more disappointed I am. I had them as the 2nd best team in my MCAA preview and they finish 5th and lost at PACT and this close win and a close win over Spectrum. But their game vs West Lutheran Friday night (6 PM at MCA) could be one of the best of the rest games of the night after the Tonka/Hopkins battle.
