A Brute Force Interior Attack

Prologue
Its a section 2AAAA matchup as #5AAAA Chaska starts a non-conference stretch of their schedule by hosting Minnetonka.  KB and the Sunshine Band on the whistles.  The always entertaining Ryan Paul joined by Eric Kraushar on the WatchCHBN broadcast.  Quality work as always and correctly busting my chops for missing a ref correcting a 2 to a 3 (something I was able to confirm at the half).

Game Time
The Chaska defense forcing Minnetonka into long possessions.  Tonka takes a 12-11 at 9:22 thanks to a Jalen Cain 3 point play.  Brady Nicholson takes in the inside out feed for a Chaska triple.  Frosh PG Andy Stefonowicz counters with a 3 point play as he double clutches a jumper and takes the bump.  18-17 Chaska at 6:48.  Nicholson on the line with the late ref correction as mentioned as Chaska pushes the lead to 24-17.  Spencer Goetz with a nice cut to the rack for 2 and then puts back his own miss to beat the halftime buzzer.  32-25 Chaska at the break.  21 of the 32 from Nicholson and Goetz.

Nicholson too big and strong inside.  He takes over to start the 2nd half. He scores 4 of the 1st 5 buckets of the half.  10-0 Chaska run blows the game open.  42-25 Hawks just over 3 minutes into the half.  Nicholson and Goetz combine for the 1st 11 Chaska FGs of the half.  Nicholson tacking on a pair 3s as he scores the last 3 buckets of that stretch.  56-34 Chaska with 9 minutes left after all of that. Chaska coasts from there to a 73-47 win.

Post Game
Minnetonka falls to 4-9 on the season.  They'll finish Lake Conference play this week at Edina and St. Michael.  Really tough to find offense.  Vlad Ciubotaru tops the list with 10 points.  Andy Stefoniwicz with 9, Jalen Cain with 8.  Ultimately though nothing they could do on the inside defensively.

#5AAAA Chaska improves to 11-2.  The 2 bigs go absolutely wild.  Brady Nicholson with a career high 29.  20 of those in the 2nd half as he did whatever he wanted inside.  Could have put up 35 since he missed some interior looks in the 1st half.  He even added 3 triples to boot.  Spencer Goetz adds 20 as he also worked in the paint.  Luke Strazzanti adds 9.  They finish up Metro West play against Bloomington Jefferson on Tuesday.  Then 4 non-conference games to end the regular season.  That includes 3 more against the Lake conference (at Eden Prairie, Edina and #2AAAA Wayzata).  Then they end the year at #1AAA Minnehaha.  That strength of schedule will help them in the battle for the top seed in 2AAAA with #6AAAA Shakopee.

Chaska shoots 25 of 35 in the paint compared to 11 of 24 for Tonka.  All the other numbers very low and of no consequence.  Chaska won't be happy with 1-6 FTs.  Outside of the Nicholson 3s, they were 2-11 on corner 3s.  Won't see that from them much with guys like Jack Frick and Luke Strazzanti.

Siwek does it again

Prologue
Back to the South Suburban for a good matchup between red hot Rosemount and Lakeville South.  Rosemount coming in with 6 straight wins including rematch wins over a pair of ranked teams in Lakeville North and Shakopee.  They're trying to keep pace with Lakeville North for 3rd in the league and the 2nd seed in section 3AAAA.  Lakeville South 1 game behind them at 7-5 but 6 of those 7 wins against the bottom 4 teams in the league.  Rosemount got a game winner from Caleb Siwek in the 1st meeting to win at home 65-63.

Game Time
The early pace is slow.  Lakeville South playing a lot of 3-2 zone but mixing in some man as well.  Both teams very patient on the offensive end.  Reid Patterson the 1st 4 of the game for Lakeville South but then Cougars points hard to come by.  Siwek puts Rosemount on the board with a steal for a free throw.  Then he'll hit a kickout 3 for a 13-9 Irish lead as we're past the midway point of the half.  Avery Mast shuffle cut for a bucket after making 2 FTs. Siwek another triple in an 8-0 Rosemount run that breaks a 17 all tie.  But Mast buries 2 right wing 3s in the last minute for some Cougars momentum.  25-23 Rosemount at the break

Mast runs right down the middle and takes a feed for 2 for a 34-32 Lakeville South lead with 14 minutes left.  Then a great Patterson sequence.  He'll save a tipped ball on the defensive end to steal a possession. He then trails the play for a straight away 3.  Next possession its off the ball screen and bang from the top again.  That ends a 9-0 Cougars run for a 43-35 Lakeville South lead with 11:26 left.

Sam Kuseske why not from the top for 3.  Then Siwek goes strong for his 1st points on the half.  Soph Anish Ramalall off the bench with a 3 from the right corner breaking down the zone.  5:45 left and its 47-45 Rosemount back on top with a 12-2 run of their own.  Rosemount putting Lakeville South in a world of hurt defensively.  Against man, Rosemount just pounded the ball in the post.  Against the zone, it was hit the high post and look to a big on the weakside block or a shooter in the opposite corner.

Patterson showing again that he loves the bright lights of crunch time.  He pulls up for a short jumper.  Then a nice head fake and 1 dribble into a right wing followed by a drive and finish for 2 more.  Siwek from the parking lot cuts the lead to 52-50 with 3:07 left.  Noah Loehr 2 FTs working inside and then a nice post move for 2 more.  Patterson with a nice feed to Chase Androff with 1:10 left and we're all tied at 54.

Rosemount runs offense to kill the clock and they'll take time with 14.6 left.  Here we go again.  A bit surprising to take the timeout but not unreasonable.  Out of the timeout, it ends up with Siwek high on the right side.  He gets a ghost screen and drives inside the left elbow.  He gets stopped but hits the tough fadeaway with 2.1 seconds left.  Lakeville South out of a timeout has their inbounds pass tipped.  Clock doesn't start and somehow Lakeville South will keep it with 0.5 left.  All of this right in front of the Rosemount bench and they are rightfully not pleased with the home friendly clock.  1 more timeout but Lakeville South fumbles the inbounds.  Siwek wins it again for Rosemount.  Irish win 56-54.

Post Game
Lakeville South falls to 7-6 overall and in the South Suburban.  With Farmington's win over Apple Valley, the Cougars are now 6th in the league thanks to the head to head tiebreak.  Reid Patterson with 15 of his 21 in the second half. He knocked down 4 threes in the game.  Avery Mast with 3 triples and 13 points in the 1st half.  But only the 1 mentioned bucket in the 2nd half.  Mixing the zone and man defense slowed things down in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half they couldn't get stops.  They gave up scores on 9 of the last 11 possessions of the game for 21 points.  Next week they are at #6AAAA Shakopee and Prior Lake and home against #3AAAA Eastview.

Rosemount improves to 9-4 overall and in the league.  Its their 7th straight win.  They remain tied for 3rd with #8AAA Lakeville North who pulled the upset at #3AAAA Eastview.  Caleb Siwek a quiet night by his standards with 16 points and 3 triples.  I thought Sam Fliehe did a nice job defending him.  All 7 of his 2nd half points in the last 6:21.  Sam Kuseske with a nice outing of 11 points and a couple of 3s.  Soph Anish Ramalall 8 points off the bench with a couple 2nd half triples.  Next week the Irish host Eastview and Farmington before a trip to Burnsville.

Lakeville South shoots 12-15 in the 2nd half (all 3 misses were 3s) and still loses.  An EFG% of 65.3% and you lose totally insane.  That drops Czar's Law to 78-15 on the season.  But once again, when Czar's law fails, the winner does win turnovers.  But overall those really not a factor.  Rosemount shoots only 4-13 from the line to offset their attempts advantage.  Only 3 offensive rebounds for Lakeville South to 14 for Rosemount which ended up in 10 more shots for the game.  That's your difference.

East to West Double Dip

Its a rare chance at a mid-week doubleheader so no way I'll pass that up.  The reschedule of the 2/16/21 game between Harding and Washington is varsity only so they'll take the early 6 PM timeslot.  With Washington being the last previewed team that I haven't seen until now, my list is now complete.  Then its a battle for 1st place in the Skyline with the traditional 7:30 start for St. Croix Prep at Maranatha.

Game 1: St. Paul Harding 61 St. Paul Washington 50
No NFHS scoreboard or clock for this one and no public address.  This one is a battle in the bottom half of the league.  Harding 2 wins over Como Park who beat Washington twice and these 2 haven't played.  La'Kendrick Reed vs Alex Addai inside in a battle of top threats for each side.  Salman Ahmed continuing his big week against that crew.  33 vs Como Park earlier this week.  He knocks down 3 triples in the 1st half to help Harding open a 34-23 halftime lead.  Washington with a late rally.  Ka'von Trotter fouled on a triple for 2 of 3 FTs.  Reed not once, not twice, not 3 times, but a 4th time to finally get the ball in the bucket.  A double digit lead down to 52-48 with 3:48 left.  Ahmed closes it out as he gets a mismatch out front.  He drives for 1 layup and Addai cleans up his miss for another hoop.  Frustration boils over for a Washington technical and another Ahmed bucket.  Harding out of danger and they'll close it out.  Salman Ahmed with 20 points to lead the Knights.  Alex Addai with 14.  Michael English all 12 of his points in the 2nd half.  La'Kendrick Reed leads Washington with 14 points.  Hamza Kadir adds 3 triples off the bench and 13 points.  Tyquan Allen with 11 and Ka'von Trotter with 10.  The teams combine to shoot 7-41 from 3.

Game 2: #8AA St. Croix Prep 71 Maranatha 45
No time on the clock but we can play it slow as its Hollywood making a Skyline appearance with the whistle.  St. Croix Prep won the 1st meeting between these teams on opening Saturday 75-51.  Sloppy start for Prep as they go 1 bucket in 13 trips after each team scores on their 1st 2 possessions.  10-8 was the last Maranatha lead.  Andrew Howard and Addison Metcalf convert turnovers for a 19-14 lead.  Maranatha keeps the margin at 24-20 as the half starts to wind down.  Then Prep closes the half on a 10-0 run with Metcalf scoring half of those points.  34-20 SCPA at the break.  Howard runs out for a layup to complete the 16-0 run across the half.  40-20 Prep.  Maranatha never gets closer than 17 after that.  Its the 29th straight conference win for St. Croix Prep.  Addison Metcalf leads the Lions with 27 points.  Andrew Howard adds 18.  Bailey McDonald leads Maranatha with 12 points.  JaRory Purnell and Jeremiah LaVelle with 10 points.  Maranatha shoots 4-31 from 3.  St. Croix Prep with a huge edge at the foul line going 19-26 to only 3-7 for MCA.

Redhawks take over in 2nd half

Prologue
The fun of a small league for power teams is the ability to go get high quality non-conference games.  Tonight is 1 such example as #7AAAA Hopkins visits #1AAA Minnehaha.  This is the 6th straight season that the teams will meet.  4 meetings in the Augsburg holiday tournament and 1 on each campus.  Hopkins with wins in the last 4 meetings and 5 of the 6.

Game Time
Jaelen Treml gets the early assignment guarding Chet Holmgren.  Hopkins hanging around down 9-5 after 4 minutes.  Trent Finney with a putback and a Mercy Miller dunk off a turnover push the Redhawks lead to 19-10.  Hopkins rallies back.  Jack Hernandez with a straight away three ball and another bucket.  Tristan Lee fouled on a 3 and makes all 3 FTs.  Max Wilson off the bench with a 3 ball and a drive for 2.   The Hopkins run is 15-4 over 4 and a half minutes.  28-25 Royals at the 5 minute mark.  Hopkins already with a bunch of fouls and Minnehaha takes advantage.  They shoot 14 FTs the rest of the half.  Hopkins turns it over 4 times in that stretch.  Minnehaha shoots 20 FTs in the half but only makes 11.  Hopkins 6-14 from 3.  We're tied at 35 at the break.

Minnehaha comes out with a purpose to start the 2nd half.  Holmgren to the spin for 2 and he'll grab a miss and slam that home.  9-0 Redhawks run to start the half.  Due to some early Treml foul trouble, Jack Hernandez got the task of guarding Holmgren and did a reasonable job.  But a short bench and fouls mean somebody pays.  Its Hernandez as he fouls out with 12:38 left and the Minnehaha lead now 47-37.  Holmgren swallows a shot on 1 end and dunks on the other.  He'll grab a miss and go coast to coast with 7 minutes left.  63-47 Minnehaha out running and running away.  Chet inhales another miss and throws the lob to Prince Aligbe with 5:25 left.   Fun and Gun, this one is over.  Minnehaha wins 78-59.

Post Game
Hopkins falls to 8-4 on the season.  2 losses to Minnetonka by a total of 3 points in there is eye catching.  Max Wilson scores 14 points off the bench.  Tristan Lee 11 of 11 from the charity stripe and 13 points.  Jack Hernandez 7 points all in the 1st half.  Not a great matchup for him guarding Holmgren but he worked at it and did a respectable job. Hopkins hosts Edina on Friday.  Then another non-conference showdown vs #2AA Minneapolis North next Tuesday.  They finish the year with 3 on the road including a trip to #8AAA De La Salle.

Minnehaha improves to 10-1 overall with the only loss being to IMG.  All 5 starters in double figures for Minnehaha.  Chet Holmgren with 19 points to lead.  Isaiah Davis another very solid outing with 17 points.  He continues to show a consistent game. Prince Aligbe scores 15 points.  Hercy and Mercy Miller add 11 points each.  A couple more fun non-conference games coming up.  #6AAA Hibbing visits on Saturday.  Then #1AA Waseca is in town next Tuesday.  #2AA Minneapolis North, #5AAA Richfield and #5AAAA Chaska finish the schedule.

Minnehaha shoots a crazy 29-48 overall.  Hopkins shoots 10-29 from 2 thanks to the Chet Holmgren factor.  Czar's Law now 76-14 on the season. Hopkins actually won the turnover battle after being behind in that category at half.  With the great defensive pressure Minnehaha can apply you won't see that happen very often this season.  Minnehaha with a big 28-12 edge in free throw attempts, but the edge was all in the 1st half (20-5). 

More NW Suburban battles

Prologue
Its another night in the rugged Northwest Suburban Conference.  Armstrong visits Park Center in a battle of 2 top scoring wings.  Its my 1st chance to see Armstrong with Dylan Inniger.  Minot St commit Jalen Cook leading the PC offense.  Both teams coming in as part of the logjam of teams with 3 league losses.  Its also the 1st of a back to back as these teams play again on Thursday.  But its this 1st meeting that counts in the league standings.  That's contrary to my initial belief that non-conference games were sprinkled throughout the schedule.  The 1st meeting is the one that counts in the single round-robin schedule.

Game Time
Good start for Armstrong behind their leader Dylan Inniger.  He attacks twice for scores and then a nice backcut for 2 more.  16-7 Falcons.  Fouls mounting for Armstrong as 3 starters sit with fouls including guard D'Sean Larkins.  JJ Ware for 3 to cut the lead to 4.  Then its Jalen Cook off the handoff for 3.  Cook then lost on a cut for another hoop.  But the Armstrong lead is still 5 thanks to 2 Inniger assists on triples.  PC gets 2 FTs from Ayouba Berthe for a 32-31 lead.  Inniger cutting but not looking for the pass.  It finds a teammate who then finds Inniger for a bunny to reclaim the lead.  That starts a 10-1 Falcons run to end the half as they'll add a pair of 3s after.  40-32 Armstrong at the break.

Larkins back in the lineup to start the 2nd half and his impact is immediately felt.  He knocks down a 3, a steal for 2 and then repeats that sequence.  Dylan Inniger with a triple and a post up bucket in the spurt as well.  55-38 Armstrong just over 6 minutes into the 2nd half.  Park Center with a couple of quick triples to to get the lead down to 11.  Inniger stops that momentum with 2 more triples sandwiched around an assist for a layup.  66-50 Armstrong with 7:45 left.  Jalen Cook with a nice cut for a bucket and then an Armstrong turnover.  Park Center misses 2 good chances inside with 5:35 left and they're still down 68-56.  James Parker finds Cook on a nice inside out look for a left corner 3 with 4:30 left.  That cuts the lead to 11 but the Pirates get no closer.  Armstrong wins 80-67.

Post Game
Park Center falls to 8-4 overall, 7-4 in the league for 6th place.  Jalen Cook 19 points with a pair of 3s to be the top scorer for the Pirates.  Ayouba Berthe with 13, Dawson Rudolph with 11.  Lots of work from the elbow in the Pirates offense.  Using big James Parker there with Cook coming off handoffs is good action for them.  After the rematch with Armstrong this week, its 2 winnable league games at Blaine and home vs Centennial.  A home rematch with Totino-Grace who they lost to by 6 on the road at the beginning of this month looms in between.  They'll then get tough playoff tuneups in non-conference games at Maple Grove and at Champlin Park to end the regular season.

Armstrong improves to 9-3 overall and 7-3 in conference play.  That's a tie for 4th with 8-4 Maple Grove (MG has the head-head tiebreaker).  Only 2 games left in league play for the Falcons as they won't play Elk River.  That was why they were able to add the Minnetonka game that I wrote about a couple weeks ago.  A matchup with the surprise 8-3 Andover at the end of the season is still on the schedule.  In addition to the rematch at home with Park Center this week, they'll get playoff tuneups at Spring Lake Park. and Osseo.  Dylan Inniger with 27 points, 5 assists and a bunch of boards on my sheet.  16 of those points in the 1st half with the rest of the starting lineup all in foul trouble.  5 3s for him but more than just shooting to his game on this night.  D'Sean Larkins sat the last 7 minutes of the 1st half with the previously mentioned fouls.  He scores 16 points of his 22 points in the 2nd half.  10 of those in the run that pushed the lead to 17.  The Falcons also got 23 points and 5 triples out of their bench.

Czar's law in full effect here as that's the only factor Armstrong wins.  But they win it big thanks to 13-25 from the 3 point line.  Only non-green area (< 50% EFG) on the shot chart was 5-8 FTs.  Ball movement very good for Armstrong with 19 assists on 31 field goals.    Park Center with the perfect analytics shot chart with all 3s and paint shots, not a single mid-range 2 taken.  Park Center with double the free throw attempts but only made 3 more.  Offensive rebounds help Park Center in the 1st half but went away in the 2nd half.

Seeing Red

Prologue
Only 2 games on the metro Saturday schedule so I'll take the early session.  Its a non-conference matchup between North St. Paul and #9AAA St. Croix Lutheran.  Lou Smith leading today's officiating crew.

Game Time
A very ugly start for St. Croix Lutheran.  They miss their 1st 4 shots after a turnover.  Then turnovers on 10 of 12 possessions including 7 in a row.  Then 10 misses in a row to follow that.  St. Croix Lutheran 11 turnovers and 2-17 shooting in their first 26 trips.  EEEK!  Meanwhile for North St. Paul, Laron Thomas has it going.  He scores the 1st 7 of the game including a left wing triple.  He buries a pure triple from the left corner as well.  He'll add a nice cut to earn 2 free throws.  Thomas with 14 points and NSP has a 20-6 lead at 4:46.  Zach Longueville breaks the streak with a long 3 after he makes a free throw.  He scores 6 late points in the half.  SCL makes their last 4 shots of the half.  NSP takes a 25-16 to halftime.  Thomas with 16 points to carry the NSP offense.

Owen Bushaw 7 early points in the half for the Crusaders.  But after an Emmanuel Ajayi triple and a 3 point play from Thomas.  Its still 38-30 NSP with under 9 minutes left.  The Thomas 3 point play answers 2 Longueville FTs.  But that's just the start for Longueville.  He'll score 2 and then a triple and bonus free throws.  Owen Bushaw tagged for his 4th foul with 6:13 left and he gets a technical to boot so his day his finished.  Critical piece out for the Crusaders with that development.  Lou Smith and the SCL bench discussing that.  Thomas makes the technicals for a 42-37 NSP lead with 6:13 left. 

North St. Paul can't take advantage.  They miss back to back front ends of the bonus.  Longueville still flammable with the deep 3.  NSP goes spread as we go under 4 minutes left.  Murl Smith with 2 free throws and a nice cut for a bucket.  Longueville with 2 free throws off his own and a deep straight away bomb with 3:25 left.  NSP lead down to 46-45.  Longueville to the rack with 2:15 left to give the Crusaders their first lead at 47-46.  Frosh Jaden Neish 2 free throws sandwiched between 2 NSP misses.  That 2nd miss happens with just over a minute left.  49-46 SCL with the lead and the ball.  NSP has to foul and now there's something to say from their side.  That technical on NSP is a killer with 1:05 left. Longueville makes 1 of his 2 on the bonus and then 1 of the 2 technicals.  Plus SCL gets it back on the possession which leads to another free throw.  A couple NSP turnovers in the last minute.  St. Croix Lutheran wins 53-46. A 13-0 run over the last 3:48 wins it.

Post Game
North St. Paul falls to 2-4 overall.  This is their 3rd straight loss coming out of their 3 week interruption. That also includes a tough double OT loss in their last game at Mahtomedi.  The 5 game road trip continues with nasty trips to South St. Paul and Eden Prairie next week.  Laron Thomas with 16 of his 24 in the 1st half to lead North St. Paul.  Emmanual Ajayi with 7 off the bench.  Murl Smith a very quiet day with only 2 field goals and 6 points. Their man pressure really bothered St. Croix Lutheran for the 1st 10-12 minutes where most of the turnovers happened.  But 2 missed front ends followed by 5 turnovers in the final 8 trips flipped the final script.

#9AAA St. Croix Lutheran is now 6-4 overall.  They've now won 5 of their last 6 including a win at Columbia Heights.  Zach Longueville scores 21 of his 27 points in the 2nd half.  Attacking the rim, making free throws, showing deep range all in the lefty's arsenal today.  Owen Bushaw with 11 points.  7 of those early in the 2nd half to keep SCL close before Longueville scored 21 of 23 points in a stretch.  Once they quit turning it over, the game switched. The Crusaders visit #4AAA Richfield on Tuesday.

Despite a 2-17 start, SCL still wins EFG.  That puts Czar's law at 72-14 on the season. SCL shoots 14-25 the rest of the game.  NSP started 7-14 and went 8-27 after that.  SCL wins the turnover battle surprisingly too.  After 11 turnovers in their 1st 18 trips, only 5 more in the last 47 trips.  North St. Paul turns it over 11 times in each half including the 5 late ones.  Free throws basically even until the end.  Good job by SCL on the glass only giving up 4 offensive boards.

Soaring to New Heights

Prologue
We complete the weekly trip around compass as it time to point to the west metro.  The top 2 in the Wright County East division get together as Mound-Westonka visits Orono.  Mound-Westonka won the 1st meeting at home by 7 points.

Game Time
Orono going with a smaller and younger lineup than expected.  That has senior bigs Connor Chappell and Andrew Mandel coming off the bench.  This one starts slow.  Charlie Herder with inside hoops and then he lays in a feed off a turnover.  9 all at the 11:30 mark. Jason Spaeth for 3 and then he runs out for a layup off a blocked shot.  Jack Eberhart off the bench for Mound adds his 3rd triple of the night.  23-12 Mound after a 16-3 run that includes 4 triples.  Soph Isaiah Hagen one of the 2 sophomore starters for Orono on this night.  He sandwiches pairs of free throws around a bucket on a turnover.  That brings Orono back within 28-25 late in the half.  Mound-Westonka takes a 35-29 lead to halftime.

Orono can't get any offense going in the 2nd half. It takes them 5 minutes to break the ice.  A turnover leads to a Orono technical during that run as frustration is boiling.  No answers for the Mound 2-3 zone.  Mandel is the one to get the 1st hoop as he provides some good interior minutes in this stretch.  Spaeth and Jack Linder with triples as the Whitehawks push that lead to 52-37 with 5:37 left.  6 points for Orono in the 1st 12 minutes of the half.  Sebastian Loder with a bucket and triple off a pair of Mound turnovers allows Orono to get back to 56-48 with 2:09 left.  The turnovers stop coming and 6 of 8 free throws seal it.  Mound-Westonka sweeps the season series with a 64-56 win.

Post Game
Orono falls to 6-4 overall, 6-3 in the Wright County East.  That puts them 3rd thanks to a loss earlier this week at Waconia.  Soph wing Isaiah Hagen with 16 points to top the Spartans scorers.  Leading scorer Graham Beltrand adds 12.  Connor Chappell with only 2 off the bench in limited minutes.  3 buckets in 12 minutes to start the 2nd half decides the game.  Orono is at STMA on Tuesday before a trip to Hutchinson next Friday.

Mound-Westonka wins their 8th straight game after losing their 1st 2 games in the non-conference part of the schedule.  At 8-0, they now have a commanding 3 game lead in the conference standings.  Something wild would have to happen for them to not take home the league crown.  That would be a very pleasant sight for a program that until recently had a long down stretch.  Charlie Herder cleaning up inside with 19 points to lead all scorers.  PG Santi Phommahaxay with 16 points and a very nice floor game.  Phommahaxay and Jason Spaeth (11 pts tonight) didn't play in the South St. Paul loss on opening weekend.  You can really see the difference those 2 make in generating offense.  The Whitehawks now have to deal with 2 of the best players in the league.  They host Hutchinson and Sam Rensch on Monday followed by a trip to Delano with Trey Longstreet on Friday.

The overall numbers in this one fairly close.  Big difference in 3s as Orono goes 2 of 10 vs 9 of 26 for Mound-Westonka.  That puts the Whitehawks over the top in the EFG.  Czar's law now 70-14 for the season.  5 late turnovers for Mound break a turnvoer tie in favor of Orono.  Orono had a 10-1 edge in FTM made in the 1st half.  The late FTs Mound got from Orono having to foul couldn't over come that.

Long distance cat fighting

Prologue
Its the rematch for the pride of Lakeville.  Lakeville South won the 1st game 56-52 on the road.  But can they defend home turf?  Winner breaks ahead in the South Suburban standings.

Game Time
Noah Nephew with a tough 2 to give him 7 early points.  North with an early 13-10 lead on that hoop.  Then here come the 3s.  4 different players connect from the deep beyond.  Its a 14-2 North run.  They knock down 7 of 11 3s on their way to a 25-16 lead at the 8:01 mark.  Lakeville South gets in the bonus and they proceed to make 5 straight free throws to pull within 27-23.  Cooper Laufenburger goes glass from 3 on the ridiculous angle.  Then he beats the halftime buzzer for his 4th 3 of the half.  37-26 Lakeville North at the break.

Nolan Winter with the 1st 5 Lakeville North points of the 2nd half.  Reid Patterson 2 long bombs for South but Blascziek hits one inbetween those.  North sticking with an effective 3-2 zone but South finds the middle man.  That leads to 2 kicks outs to Trystan Ressler for left wing triples.  51-40 North with 11 minutes left.  Then its the Will Blascziek show.  He goes spin cycle for 2, a step thru leaner, 2 free throws, screen and pop for a straight away 3, find Winter for a layup and then lets go in the post for a fadeaway.  Most of that is in the 15-3 run that blows the game wide open.  66-43 North in control with 6:34 left.  The rest is just garbage time.  Lakeville North rolls to a 80-52 win.

Post Game
Lakeville South falls to 6-5 overall and in the South Suburban.  This loss drops them out of a 3rd place tie with North and Rosemount (Irish upset Shakopee in OT tonight).  Reid Patterson with all 3 of his 3s in the 2nd half and 17 points to lead the Cougars.  Overall though, a good job on him defensively.  Trystan Ressler tried to keep South in it with his 4 triples and 16 points.  South is at Apple Valley and hosts Rosemount next week.

#8AAAA Lakeville North improves to 7-4.  They are tied for 3rd in the league with Rosemount.  Will Blascziek with a terrific 2nd half.  He scored 16 of his 19 points and was the catalyst of the big run.  Cooper Laufenburger was the 1st half offense with 14 of his 19 points in that half.  That included all 4 of his triples.  Noah Nephew 10 early points.  Soph Nolan Winter all 13 of his points in the 2nd half.  The 3-2 zone that North went to later in the 1st half was a difference maker.  It slowed the pace and South mostly never got comfortable against it.  The tough South Suburban road continues next week with a game vs Farmington and a trip to #4AAAA Eastview.

1st sweep of the 4 factors that I've seen in a while.  The 3 point shooting sticks out huge.  South 8-27 from 3 vs 12-23 for North.  This leads to one of the highest PPP values I've seen this season at 1.38.  Czar's law now 69-13 for the season.  Identical low turnover totals for each side.  The free throw margin expanded after the game already got out of hand.
