Its week 2 of the 2011 fall season and it promises to be a good one. I'll be in Lakeville to see Tyus Jones take on Lakeville North and what is hopefully the top Prior Lake club. The other Bandits club takes on Lakeville North in their 2nd game so somebody has a pair of really tough games. Nothing like South Suburban rivals getting started early.
A good day at Minnehaha too as DeLaSalle has Duluth East and the top Sibley squad. East will also get their fill of the Tri-Metro with games vs Breck and Minnehaha. Gerald McCarver wasn't scheduled to play last week for Minnehaha since he's a football guy but saw the court anyway due to low numbers. Sibley's top group also has to play Minneapolis Henry and St. Agnes.
Sunday isn't quite as appealing. Edina vs Eagan and Lakeville South vs Rice Lake highlight the Magic league. MYAS is all over the place with 4 locations this week. Justin Pahl of East Ridge highlights the games at Concordia St. Paul. 2014 star Rashad Vaughn played with MN Heat Select last week. They have 2 at the Colin Powell Center this week including an interesting 4 PM tilt vs Zimmerman.
(Czar's Note, since writing this I've been told that the top Fury 2015 squad has now moved up to the Varsity division of the Magic league and will play Edina and Bethany Lutheran this week. That group includes Sam Neumann, Jarvis Johnson, Sidney Tomes, Evan
Nolan, Sacar Anim who were all high level 2015 kids this spring)

2011 Fall Ball Kickoff
Labels:
2011 Fall Leagues
This weekend begins the 10 week fall hoops season for 2011. The best group of teams during the early period is at Lakeville South with 2 Prior Lake teams playing as MN Bandits, Apple Valley and Lakeville North. All of those teams expect to make noise in the South Suburban. Add in Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau (that's G-E-T, as in GET High, stay off of drugs kids) with quality guard Riley Bambenek who just committed to Winona State this week and the MBA squad led by Kebu Johnson and Mike Fernando and you have a strong field.
The Minnehaha section features DeLaSalle and Duluth East. Duluth East will be without Johnny Woodard thanks to his spring shoulder injury. East PG Taylor Stafford stormed on to the scene with his play during this league last year. A young Breck squad and Henry Sibley's 2 teams are 2 others to keep an eye on. I expect a young Hill-Murray group and no Dave Simmet due to football.
Rice Lake and Gopher commit Wally Ellenson play Sunday afternoon in the Magic league at Jefferson vs Eden Prairie and Eagan. They played in the league last year with all 3 Ellensons and dad coaching. When they played BSM last year in this league it was an epic game with Wally and Sanjay Lumpkin both going off for 30+ in the 1st half and Wally had 50 in another game just before that last season. MN Fury has put together 2 15/16u teams for the JV division of that league. One of the state's top frosh prospects, Sam Neumann of CDH, will play with 1 of those squads. Their games this week are at Jefferson on Saturday afternoon.
MYAS rounds out the Sunday schedule with 3 varsity locations in week 1 and 4 in week 2. I'm not expecting much out of that league unless White Bear Lake shows up with a full group which I don't see happening.
