The rare weeknight double dip with an early start at Roosevelt and then off to Southwest. No concessions for the early game. But a quality walking taco and a bottle of Sprite take care of that issue. John Lithgow got the duty for the early game, long time since I had seen him work.

Game #1: #8AA Brooklyn Center at #5AA Minneapolis Roosevelt
No Teddy Clark, Landon Kirkwood or Davonte Prince (and more) for Brooklyn Center. New coach David Crowley at the helm. Roosevelt with no mercy on the very JV like squad. Landon Cobbs a couple of layups on turnovers as the lead grew to 18-7. Then a 27-2 Teddies run blows the game out of hand. Roosevelt leads 56-20 at the break. Landon Cobbs with 21 of those. Roosevelt wins 71-40. Roosevelt just ripped the ball whenever they wanted for easy buckets. Elijah Hannah had his way inside.
