Week 13 Tuesday Night Scoreboard Club

An early morning edition this week, these are scores from 2/19 that caught my eye.

OK so we cheat a little and start with Monday's Henry/North game. Henry in a romp over North again, but they still give up 82 pts. They may lead class 3A in scoring (78.9) but they're also giving up 72.1 a night. Mandela Jackson with 31 pts and star soph Jordan Hughes blows up for 41 pts with 8 3s. 15 3s total for the Patriots, wow. Cory Polta vs Alonzo Melton would be fun in a Spring Lake Park/Henry 3AAA game along with Shaun Jensen vs Henry's guards. Melton is one of the few guys Polta would see that's just as big. While the records don't show it, I think Henry is clearly the team to beat in 3AAA, especially if they turn up the D.

Tuesday action

• Hopkins and Wayzata roll in the Classic Lake as we start to look ahead to the March 3rd Hopkins/Tonka rematch.
• Sibley with a romp over Hill-Murray in the Classic Suburban. They prepare for a big showdown at STA next Tuesday. But STA has a tough trip to Tartan on Friday night 1st. Everything still holding to form with Tartan, STA and Sibley rolling along.
  
• Eastview beats up on Lakeville N again which leaves Eagan only a 1/2 game out of the upper 1/2. Kennedy barely wins at Rosemount as Andrew Brommer has 24 for the Irish. Kennedy at Eastview tonight and then they host Eden Prairie on Tuesday (Eastview at Burnsville as well) in games that will likely finalize the top of the Lake standings.
  
• MCA beats Heritage again and SW Christian gets an OT win over New Life for those teams to advance to the MCAA Tournament final on Friday night at Heritage. Heritage vs New Life in the consolation final at Heritage in the early game. Trinity locks up the Friendship bracket with a win over Concordia (Bl)
• Shakopee knocks off New Prague and Prior Lake holds off Holy Angels. Prior Lake and Shakopee now 2 games clear in the loss column. They battle Tuesday night in Shakopee.
  
• In the North Suburban, no Joe Bright again for Cooper. Rodney Williams has 26 to lead the Hawks back from 4 down at halftime to a 10 pt win at Chisago Lakes. Josh Figini with another huge night of 41 points for the Wildcats. Cooper at BSM next Friday night to determine the league winner.
  
• In the Northwest Suburban, Centennial with the upset of Elk River by 3. Champlin Park continues to roll as they beat Coon Rapids. Maple Grove gets back on the winning track with a win over Anoka. Finally Park Center with a tight one over Andover in a game that went extra time.
• In the St. Paul City, Johnson wins another close one over Como Park. Como Park can give Johnson the city title outright with a win at Central next Friday night.
  
• In the Suburban East, CDH sqeaks out another one vs Woodbury. Mounds View comes calling for the Raiders on Friday night in a game I'll be attending. MV still has Stillwater remaining (at MV next Friday) so a 3 way tie for the title isn't totally out of the question.
  
• Nothing but blowouts in the Tri-Metro. Minnehaha at DLS Friday in a big West division game and St. Bernard's can clinch the east with a home win over Concordia on Tuesday.
  

Congrats to Kevin Noreen for passing the 1500 career point mark in the MN Transitions win over Four Directions. Congrats to Mike Bruesewitz on committing to Wisconsin. He couldn't have selected a finer institution! Bucky continues to get MN talent. We'll see how long that lasts with Tubby in town. Also nice to see Dale Wakasugi back on the court officiating. John Millea did a nice article on his return to Fridley this week.

The Wisconsin playoffs started this week. My beloved La Crosse Central Red Raiders took it on the chin at home to Marquis Mason of Madison East. Logan and Aquinas move on with Aquinas playing again tonight to move into a big showdown with Arcadia on Saturday night.
