08-09 Week 7 Rewind

Thoughts from the Friday and Saturday games of Week 7.

Friday

• Alex Richter with 38 on 13-15 FGs and Blake Shay with 33 for Lakeville South as they put up 98 on Apple Valey. Varmah Sonie with 19, Thomas Shalk with 12 in the loss for AV.
• SPA over DLS 51-43. What is up with the De La Salle offense? I'll find out as I'll see them a handful of times in the last month of the season.
• Park over Stillwater 48-48. The Ponies fall to 4-8 and that includes a win over Northfield. Hard to figure them out.
• Jefferson knocks off Chaska 59-55. Marcus Alipate with 20. Combine that with the Eastview win at Burnsville and Eden Prairie sits alone on top of the Lake at 6-1. Jefferson, Chaska and Burnsville all 1 game back. Lakeville North and Eastview 2 back in the loss column. Eden Prairie goes to Burnsville on Friday.

Saturday

• CDH gets down 18 at half to Eastview and loses on the road. Drew Bjordal with 26 for Eastview.
• Northfield gets it done in section 1AAAA with a home win over Owatonna. The bigs cancel each other out, but Christian Shepley with 16 in the win.
• Bo Shiffler with 21 and Nick Quicksell with 20 for Woodbury and Matt Zager with only 8 for Shakopee but the Sabers still manage an 11 point win. Sophomore Jason Perkins with 15 to lead Shakopee.
