Prologue
Thanks to the snow (though not as much as expected), its a very quiet night on the metro schedule. But that doesn't stop our Monday Night TCAC theme for the season. A different game than planned but a good one none the less with Avail Academy taking on Liberty Classical Academy in a girls/boys doubleheader at the Target Center. Considering how bad the roads were, I was impressed with the crowd turnover for the small schools. Always fun to see the young kids get to take the court at halftime and between games. More impressive was the Avail Valor mascot, a rhinoceros, big horn included. The twitter discussion put him right up there with Hans of Melrose and the Johnson Governor.
Game Time
Offense was a struggle early on in this one. Liberty with 2 early hoops to take a 5-2 lead. Then the Lions would go 8:35 until their next field goal. Avail scores 9 in a row during that time to take the lead. Liberty would rally with Tom Conroy putting back a miss for a 3 point play and running for another bucket. Liberty takes the lead 18-17 inside the 2 minute mark of the 1st half. A couple of turnovers for Avail buckets to end the half. Valor lead at the break 23-20.
Liberty starts the 2nd half on an 11-4 run. That includes a Dan Drechsel runner in the middle of the Avail 2-3 and a triple. 31-27 Lions at the 14:39 mark. A funny lane violation saves a free throw and a couple of Avail buckets tie it at 35. Then its America's favorite BLOB for a corner 3 for Conroy, Avail with a 3 of their own and the teams trade buckets after that. 40 all with under 10 minutes to play.
Avail goes on a 9-0 run from there with frosh Josiah Loge off the bench for 3 and 1 of 2 free throws. Joey Ritzema adds the final bucket of the run for a 49-40 Avail lead with 7:15 left. Avail adds 8 of 10 free throws to push the lead to 57-44 with 4:28 left. The rest is elementary and the teams even empty the benches in a 10 point game with a minute left. Something you won't see in other games locally. Avail wins 63-51
Post Game
For Liberty Classical Academy, junior forward Tom Conroy was outstanding with 26 points. He knocked down a couple of 3s to go along with tough inside play. Dan Drechsel adds 12 points, Ben Horn with 10. Liberty falls to 7-2 vs league teams (not including the loss at Avail in their holiday tourney). They also lost their last game at the other league leader Hiawatha last week. Now they need help as they're done with both. Assuming tomorrow is cancelled and Thursday is played, they have a home test with Shattuck St.-Mary's next.
Avail Academy remains tied with Hiawatha in the loss column in league games. The Valor are now 7-1. Junior wing Joey Ritzema with 16 points. Frosh Josiah Schaap with 12 of his 14 in the 2nd half. Hans Dykstra with a quiet 12 but 4-4 big free throws during the stretch run. They were mostly able to handle the extended 2-3 and 1-2-2 zones that Liberty threw at them. Only 1 3 all night for the Valor. They continue league play at Groves on Thursday night weather willing. Otherwise they'll host the team I originally planned to see tonight, Christian Life, on Friday. Then the big game to break the tie on top at Hiawatha next Tuesday.
2019 Border Battle Thoughts
One of the high profile events on my schedule every year is the Border Battle. This year Minnesota hosted at East Ridge. All but 1 of the 7 games featuring a ranked team and 9 of the teams being ranked. Concessions right inside of the gym instead of the usual hike across the cafeteria. Only Coke products but that's a minor hardship.
Game 1: #4A Minnesota Valley Lutheran 58 Thorp 45
I only saw the last couple minutes of this. Notable day in front of the Mr Basketball Committee for MVL's Jake Kettner with 33 points. 22 points for junior forward Isaac Soumis to lead Thorp.
Game 2: #7AA Lake City 73 #3 D4 Clear Lake 54
Clear Lake played without star forward Bailey Blanchard due to a sprained MCL. But the way the game played out I don't think it would have mattered much. Lake City buries 8 of their 12 3s in the 1st half to break the game open and they cruise. Reid Gastner doing it inside and out for Lake City. I totally agree with Ryan James that he's a small school matchup nightmare. He had 27 points with 3 bombs, 8 free throws and a handful of quality post moves. He added 7 boards and 4 assists. Nate Heise 23 points with 5 bombs, 5 boards and 5 assists.
Game 3: St. Croix Lutheran 82 Whitefish Bay 74
St. Croix Lutheran gets all of but 5 their points from 4 guys. But with their small lineup the Crusaders bury 15 of 31 triples. SCL goes the last 9:05 of the 1st half without Zach Longueville due to 3 fouls but they only trail by 4 at the break. Longueville goes for 17 of his 26 in the 2nd half.. Xavier Garcia with 13 of his 14 in the 2nd half thanks to clutch shooting (3 3s). Ezra Blumer adds 5 bombs and 20 points plus his defensive role. Owen Bushaw adds 17. Soph Jayden Jackson impressive for Whitefish Bay with 21 points and a couple of 3s. Demetrius Johnson adds 15, Cullen Starker with 16.
Game 4: #2 D3 Waupun 94 Rochester Mayo 68
Waupun shoots a thoroughly ridiculous 40 of 57 for the game. Northern Kentucky signee Marcus Domask (#1 ranked senior in WI) with a triple double of 19 pts, 14 rbs and 11 assists. MN-Crookston signee Quintin Winterfeldt 22 pts, 8 rbs and 6 ast in a terrific outing. Mayo's Gabe Madsen showing that he's one of the elite scorers in the state. He made a bunch of tough shots on his way to 31 points on 12 of 25 shooting. Mason Madsen 17 points and 8 rebounds in a day where he struggled to 6 of 19 FGs. But he also had the tough task of guarding Domask all day.
Game 5: #8 D1 Brookfield Central 91 Apple Valley 59
Apple Valley would hang around in the 1st half to trail by 8 at the break. They experimented with multiple lineups by playing 11 guys. But in the 2nd half it got totally out of hand. Post Riley LeTourneau goes for 20 of his 34 in the 1st half for Brookfield Central. Michael Poker 5 3s and 17 points in the fantastic Joe Rux motion offense. Soph Monty Williams with 13 points off the bench to lead Apple Valley. Mark Possis all 12 of his points for Apple Valley in the 1st half.
Game 6: #1AA Minnehaha 76 #6 D2 Onalaska 60
4 straight buckets off turnovers for Minnehaha would be an omen for the game. The pressure that Minnehaha can put on with their athletic guards and know that they have a big time shotblocker in the back is scary. 20-4 run for the Redhawks over the last 7:08 of the 1st half would mean a 38-18 lead at the break. Onalaska 6 of 32 FG shooting in the half. Some of that was missed open looks, much of it was the impact of Chet Holmgren. But Onalaska would go on a 12-0 2nd half run and cut the lead to 7 with over 6 minutes left. Then a 3 to get closer with 5:25 left goes in and out. Jalen Suggs takes over from there with 6 free throws. Suggs with another outstanding outing of 27 pts, 7 rbs, 8 ast. Chet Holmgren 18 points, 15 boards and 7 blocks. Carson Arenz 17 points to lead the Hilltoppers.
Game 7: #4AAAA East Ridge 80 #1 D1 Brookfield Central 62
Gage Malensek has mastered the left side right hand scoop. That move was unstoppable all night as he scored a team high 21 for the Lancers. Star soph David Joplin started slow but had a nice 2nd half to finish with 13 points. No other offense for the Lancers though. Zach Zebrowski was the big story for East Ridge. 16 of his 18 points in the 1st half. That included a crazy behind the back finish to beat the buzzer after a Ben Carlson block. He also had 5 assists. Kendall Brown with 16 of his 20 points in the 2nd half. Ben Carlson with 18 points and 15 rebounds as he too stepped up in the 2nd half. Patrick Lynott with 4 big 3s for 12 points on the night.
The Wrap
Minnesota wins the Border Battle for the 4th time in 5 years. The 5-2 record improves Minnesota's all time margin over 13 years to 48-31. Next year the Border Battle visits the Czar's alma mater La Crosse Central. Onalaska will also participate again. Kaukauna will also return to the event after participating the last 2 years and hosting in 2014.

Seeing all the shades of red
A busy week on the road with a trip to North St. Paul last week. Then back to God's Country and The Old Kingdom for the Midwest Players Classic. Change colors for a 1st viewing this year of Holy Angels and then its all red tonight for Benilde-St. Margaret's at Richfield in the Metro West. Plenty of Pepsi and unfortunately some Coke too during the week. Pizza and BBQ definitely keep the waistline happy. North St. Paul with a quality home W over STA. Minnehaha with a quality if not sad win for me over La Crosse Central (my alma mater). Sun Prairie with a rock solid defensive outing and took care of it to upset De La Salle. Minneapolis North with a tight loss over the #1 team in Wisconsin D3. Another nice outing from Eli Campbell for the Polars.
The stat of the weekend back home, Caledonia's bench outscored Mineral Point 36-0 in their blowout win. Holy Angels blew out Brooklyn Center 81-66 on Tuesday. The Centaurs down to a depleted 6 man rotation for that one while Holy Angels played without forward Thor Holien. Frosh Emmett Johnson impressive for the Stars.
As to tonight, a nice preview of next year. Richfield playing 3 sophs and 2 freshmen with 1 junior and senior in a 7 man rotation. Benilde-St. Margaret's playing 5 juniors and a sophomore in their 8 man rotation. Ugly offensive game early but BSM uses a 13-2 run to break out to a 28-21 lead at the break.
Great sequence in the 2nd half for soph post Isaiah Casey Hammond. He scores in the post. Then on the next possession Richfield turns it over, he hustles back and forces a travel rather than recklessly trying to put the shot 8 rows up and likely fouling. Then after another Spartans turnover, he denies the 6'9" Dylan Drees dunk attempt. Frosh PG Mitchell January makes it pay off on the other end to pull Richfield back to even at 38 after being down by 10.
BSM counters that with a 7-0 run of their own. BSM taking advantage of the bonus with 4 of 4 on the early bonus. Meanwhile Richfield missed 5 freebies early in the half and then didn't get to the line despite being in the bonus early themselves. Ryan Miles keeps Richfield close with a bomb and then a nice give and go in transition to cut the lead to 48-46 with 3:15 left.
But Walker Johnson scores to stop the bleedi4ng. Drees stuffs Isaiah Casey Hammond in the post and Nick Peterson banks in a dagger 3 on the other end. Drees and soph Derric Standifer convert Richfield turnovers and its over from there. Benilde-St. Margaret's wins 59-54.
Benilde-St. Margaret's improves to 6-10 overall, 2-3 in the Metro East. Then host Edina and Bloomington Jefferson next week. Walker Johnson 12 points to lead the Red Knights off the bench. Nels Birkeland with 8 of his 10 early and then the rotation just didn't allow him to get back on the floor. Soph PG Derric Standifer with 10 points off the bench. The BSM bench with a 24-6 edge in the game. BSM also with 8 more makes at the charity stripe.
Richfield falls to 5-11 overall, 1-4 in the Metro West. The Spartans have now lost 5 in a row. They visit Highland Park on Monday night and then host Chaska on Friday. Jeff Moore, Ryan Miles and Mitchell January all with 13 points for the Spartans. The rest of the roster combines for 15. The offense just never really looked in sync. 6 of the 7 rotation members are back next year with 5 of the 6 being underclassmen. That includes the starting backcourt of January and Miles along with 2 young solid bigs inside. It'll be fun to follow the progress.

Third Annual White Jacket Game
Prologue
To Brooklyn Center for the 3rd Annual White Jacket game. Its a tradition that Brooklyn Center coach Matt McCollister digs out the white suit jacket when I show up so we might just as well formalize the thing. Construction at yet another school, things getting torn up everywhere. Weeknight game means a pretty calm crowd. The opponent tonight is St. Croix Lutheran who's coming off of an impressive thrashing of Concordia earlier in the week.
Song of the Day: Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Number of Teams I've Seen: 108 (79 games, 50 days, 38 buildings, 11 online)
Beverage Ticker: 562.3 ounces (6090 calories)
Brooklyn Center with 9 of their 1st 11 points off of Crusaders turnovers. They tack on a 6-0 run after that for a 20-11 lead under the 9 minute mark. But St. Croix Lutheran settles down and finally starts to see the ball go thru the hoop. Xavier Garcia with a 3 point play to cut the margin to 4. Then 2 triples from Zach Longueville and 1 from Owen Bushaw. Mert Cula adds a couple of hoops as well in the run. The run is 20-5 for the Crusaders over the last 8+ of the half. They lead 31-25 at the break.
Bushaw with another triple and a Longueville 3 point play push the lead to 12 with 12:36 to play. Brooklyn Center counters with 3 Roland Russ buckets inside to cut the St Croix Lutheran lead to 3 with 7:21 left. The Centaurs leaving points on the board with 5 straight missed freebies in this stretch. Bushaw 2 free throws and a kickout bomb and the Crusaders lead is 8 with under 5 to play.
Then the real fun begins.as Brooklyn Center goes on a 11-0 run as the rim gets tight on the St. Croix Lutheran end. Ben Wehyee with a 3 point play, Maxsamus Wilson with a steal for the lead and Danny Yates running for 2 after an in and out triple. 59-56 Brooklyn Center back on top with 1:14 left.
Longueville then with 1 of 2 free throws and after a Brooklyn Center turnover he buries a 3 with just over 30 seconds left. That puts the Crusaders back on top. But before you can blink, its Yates running the other way and he scores with the foul. That 3 point play with 28 seconds left flips the lead back to Brooklyn Center 62-60.
Bushaw attacks on the other end and gets fouled. He makes the 1st, misses the 2nd and it ends up with Longueville for a big time 3. Brooklyn Center pushes off as they rush the ball back the other way. After a timeout, Brooklyn Center doesn't immediately foul and it pays off. St. Croix Lutheran misses both free throws with 10 seconds left and the Centaurs have a chance. They'll drive and be fouled with 3 seconds left down 2. But the 1st FT is not good and the 2nd miss is intentional. Bushaw grabs that and makes 2 free throws to seal it. St. Croix Lutheran wins a wild ending 66-62.
Post Game
Brooklyn Center falls to 6-9 overall and 0-3 in the Tri-Metro. They've now lost 5 out of 6. The schedule doesn't get easier as I'll be back to see them against Holy Angels on Tuesday. 8th grader Maxsamus Wilson leads the Centaurs with 11 of his 16 points in the 2nd half. Danny Yates with 11, Roland Russ with 10. Lots of settling for 3s in this one which was a bit surprising considering the dribble drive stuff that coach McCollister has run for a while now. Free throws were a killer as the Centaurs missed 11 FTs in the 2nd half and finished just 6-19 from the charity stripe. St. Croix Lutheran left some points on the board in the 2nd half too but finished 17-26 from the line. Coach McCollister falls to 2-2 all time in official White Jacket games.
St. Croix Lutheran improves to 5-7 overall and 2-0 in the Tri-Metro. 3 of those losses are by 5 points or less though. They'll continue league play next week vs St. Agnes and at St. Anthony. Soph guards Owen Bushaw and Zach Longueville each with 19 points to lead the Crusaders. Longueville with 4 triples including 2 in the last 35 seconds. Bushaw with 4 triples of his own to go with the clinching free throws. Quiet night for soph forward Xavier Garcia with all 5 of his points in the 1st half. Coach Wendland rolled the dice with 2 of his starters having 4 fouls with almost 8 minutes left (Ezra Blumer and Longueville). Neither fouled out.

The Pirate Ship keeps Sailing
To Park Center to see the 3rd ranked Pirates host 8th ranked Wayzata in a high quality non-conference showdown. The way sections have played over the last couple of years, its a possible state preview. Long time no see Hollywood but he's on duty (sleeves part of the new ref unis of course) with The Old Spice Guy. I'm seeing The Old Spice Guy more in person than in commercials these days. The ref shortage is real folks.
Nice to see a meal deal for the Jet's Pizza so that means free Lays chips for the meal. Also fun to see the JV game where both programs are loaded with youngsters. Wayzata's 2022 class and Park Center's 2023 class both showing well in that game. Plenty to look forward to for both teams even with current teams being very good.
As to the varsity game, Park Center with a 9-0 run midway thru the 1st half to give them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Jacob Beeninga carrying the 1st half offense for Wayzata. Great balance from Park Center. Their quickness advantage was a major factor on the defensive end as they kept the Trojans from getting many good looks. But Wayzata's patience would be rewarded and they were able to convert dribble handoffs into drives.
Park Center would lead by 12 with just over 5 minutes left but a quick Wayzata 7-0 run would make it interesting as the lead got to 4 with 4 minutes left. Detavious Frierson with a putback for a 3 point play on a missed Pirates free throw would finally be the dagger. Park Center wins 72-64 in a sleepy and sloppy game.
Wayzata falls to 12-4 overall and 1-0 in the Lake Conference. They go on the road to current conference foe Edina on Friday. Then they visit next year's new conference foe St. Michael-Albertville next Tuesday. Jacob Beeninga with 20 points to lead Wayzata. Camden Heide with 14, Kody Williams with 13. Only 2 points from the bench though. Shots not falling on this night and that meant 1 and done possessions as Park Center dominated the defensive board.
Park Center improves to 12-1 overall and they are 5-1 in the NW Suburban. That gives them 1st place in the west division via head to head tiebreaker over district rival Maple Grove. Dain Dainja with 15 of his 19 in the 2nd half to lead the Pirates. Detavious Frierson and David Ijadimbola each add 13. This game finishes the Pirates non-conference schedule. Its back to league play with home games against Spring Lake Park and Blaine before visiting rival Osseo next Friday.

Another Mustang Stampede
Prologue
Back to #8AA Maranatha for another showdown in the MCAA. This time division foe #6AA St. Croix Prep comes calling. The concessions always high level and Godfather's Pizza is an outstanding reason why. Thankfully I arrive early as they run out of sausage and Ryan James scarfs up any remaining Pepperoni. He needed a forklift to get all of his pizza to the top of the bleachers. But at least he didn't get lost (once upon a time he was so lost he made it with 2 minutes to go in a game). In fairness, MCA is in a strange location. No notable officials for tonight. We get a buzzer beater to avoid the dreaded JV overtime.
Song of the Day: Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses
Number of Teams I've Seen: 107 (77 games, 48 days, 36 buildings, 11 online)
Beverage Ticker: 542.3 ounces (5950 calories)
Nolan Grubisch 2 early 3s for SCPA. Tristan Lee off the MCA bench with a couple of hoops for a 15-12 Mustangs lead at the 12:36 mark. Forward Zach Doely off the SCPA bench with 4 buckets of his own in quality minutes. That keeps SCPA within 20-18 at 8:25. Hakim Daniels 3 buckets and a couple of MCA triples to expand the lead to 32-21. Addison Metcalf with a couple late hoops as SCPA cuts the margin to 40-33 at the break.
4 different Lions score in a 9-3 SCPA spurt. That ends with a Daniel McCarrell 3, his only bomb of the night. 47-46 Maranatha with under 11:30 to play. But SCPA was cold to begin with and then they went ice cold. Add in crushing offensive board and turnovers and it caves in from there. Clarence and Hakim Daniels with putbacks after what felt like a thousand offensive boards. Clarence Daniels 2 more hoops and a spin by Hakim Daniels. Then Clarence Daniels with a big block to deny Doely and that turns into points at the other end. Hakim Daniels with yet another hoop. Its a 15-4 MCA run as SCPA goes without a FG for 6 and a half minutes. Christian Davis runs for a layup and cuts for a free throw. Then its Hakim Daniels to seal it. He drives for 2 and then scores again with an intentional foul. That will push the lead to 20 and its over. Maranatha wins big again over another ranked opponent. Final score 79-58 Maranatha wins. Unlike Friday's end to end blowout, this one was tight with under 12 left.
Post Game
St. Croix Prep sees a 4 game winning streak snapped. They fall to 10-3 overall and 3-1 in the MCAA. Nolan Grubisch with 3 of his 4 3s in the 1st half. He leads the Lions with 16 points. Addison Metcalf 12 points as he carried the 2nd half offense. Junior forward Zach Doely nice minutes off the bench with 10 points. Quiet night for Daniel McCarrell with only 9 points. Lots of similarities to Friday's game vs Spectrum. Cold shooting night all the way around and getting beat on the offensive glass. SCPA has another long trip this week to PACT. Then they'll visit Spectrum next Tuesday.
Maranatha remains undefeated in the MCAA at 5-0 as they try to take home their final MCAA title. They are now 12-1 overall. Hakim Daniels leads the way with 26 points. Everything at the rim for him. Christian Davis with 11 points off the bench. Tristan Lee also productive off the bench with 7 points. Clarence Daniels adds 12 points. These teams will meet again in Stillwater on Jan 31st. Before that, MCA has short cross division trips to West Lutheran and Heritage next. Then a fun old MCAA game vs SW Christian at home next Thursday. Big win for SW Christian tonight over Holy Family.

A weekend six-pack
A busy Friday and Saturday with 6 games on my schedule in 4 different places. Here are the sights and sounds of a 6 pack of Pepsi to get thru the schedule.
Friday: #8AA Maranatha 72 #11AA Spectrum 47
3 quick MCA bombs for a 9-0 lead. Spectrum with 4 turnovers in the 1st 2 minutes leading to points. Cole Elrod sits most of the half with 2 fouls. Spectrum shoots it as poorly as they will all year with many good looks not going in. The lead grows to 25 in the 1st half and its cruise control from there. Maranatha with another big ranked game at home against #6AA St. Croix Prep on Tuesday. I'll see that one as well. Frosh Chase Carter 14 points off the bench as the big front line was a factor for MCA. Justin Mason 3 1st half 3s on his way to 13 points. Matt Kruse 15, Max Lawrence 14 for Spectrum. Cole Elrod 10 points but was limited due to fouls.
Saturday:
St. Anthony 59 Trinity 56
This one was pretty tight the entire way. St. Anthony would open a 50-39 lead with under 7 minutes left. The lead is still 9 with 4:28 to play after a Joe Flett 3. But Trinity would rally with triples from Ben Maslow and Anthony Rumpza. Michael Ennis with a big 2nd half and he scores 3 straight hoops to tie the game at 56 with 32.6 left. St. Anthony sets up a final play. Its Tait Nelson driving left baseline. Drift pass and the extra pass to the right wing finds Derek Hergenrader for 3 with 1.1 left to win it. Hergenrader 3 of his 4 3s in the 2nd half on the way to 12 points. Tait Nelson 13, Joe Flett 12 for St. Anthony. Anthony Rumpza and Michael Ennis with 20 each for Trinity. Ennis with 18 of those in the 2nd half.
#2AA Minneapolis North 79 #9AA Caledonia 74 OT
Then its the rest of the day on the northside. Ice cold 1st half for the King brothers of Caledonia but they're still within 6 at the break. Caledonia then goes on a 14-0 run early in the 2nd half thanks to 7 points from frosh Eli King. Noah King with a putback and a drive plus Eli King with a dunk as Caledonia expands the lead to 61-49 under 5 minutes to play. The lead is 65-56 after 2 FTs with 2:35 left. But Caledonia can't close it out as 2 turnovers cost points plus taking and missing an open 3 with just over 20 seconds left. That not only allows North to tie it on a Willie Wilson layup with 17 seconds left, but they'll get a look to win it at the horn that is no good. Eli Campbell then scores the 1st 8 points of OT (2 bombs) for North to complete the 17-0 Polars run. North goes on to win from there. Eli Campbell finishes with 18 points. Davon Townley adds 16 for the Polars. Eli King 19 points to lead Caledonia. Noah King with 16 of his 17 points after halftime. Really productive inside game of 15 points from Riley Gavin for the Warriors as well.
Super Showcase at Minneapolis Henry
Moorhead 67 Fridley 66
I missed most of the 1st half of this one thanks to the overtime at North. But I arrive to a ton of foul trouble as Hassan Kamara and Isaac Burns were sitting with 2 fouls as well as Moorhead star Maleeck Harden-Hayes. Moorhead up 38-27 at the break. Burns would have a big 2nd half as Kamara ended up sitting with 4 fouls for a large stretch. That would allow Fridley to take a 54-52 lead before Harden-Hayes and Kamara would return with 4 fouls with 7 minutes left. Kamara with a 3 off the famous Tom Izzo Chips inbounds and its 62-54 Fridley with 3:45 left. Burns fouls out and Moorhead claws their way back. Drew Hagen floater countered by a Fridley putback to keep Fridley up 5. Then its Hagen for 3 and Fridley misses 2 freebies with 28 seconds left. Then Hagen with the putback and foul with 8 seconds left. He makes the free throw to give the Spuds the win. Hagen finishes with 25 points including the last 8. Maleeck Harden-Hayes with 14. Isaac Burns with 23 to lead Fridley.
#1AAAA Hopkins 92 St. Paul Central 75
Hopkins opens up a 10-0 lead thanks to 2 Kerwin Walton bombs and 2 Dane Zimmer hoops. Central will cut that to 5 before Jalen Dearring and Andy Stafford help push the lead to 50-26 with 3 minutes left in the half. But Central would finish the half on a 12-0 run to cut it in half. Ronnell Porter and Luke McElroy with triples and the lead is down to 9 with under 12 left. Central would get no closer. Dane Zimmer steps up with Zeke Nnaji missing most of the game due to injury. Zimmer finishes with 24 points as he dominated inside. Kerwin Walton 4 triples and 24 points. Andy Stafford gets the defensive stopper role but added 19 points. Ronnell Porter terrific at the PG spot for Central with 23 points and they moved him to defend Walton later in the game. Daveonte Davis added 18 points for the Minutemen.
Minneapolis Henry 82 Cristo Rey Jesuit 69
CRJ coach Stan Clay sitting this one out after getting the thumb on Friday night. Close game early until Henry's pressure breaks the game open. They finish the 1st half on a 15-0 run to open a 14 point halftime lead. Henry would have the lead at 18 at the 7 minute mark before the Pumas cut it to 6 inside of 3. But Henry would close it out from there. Henry's pressure forced a ton of turnovers and sped the pace up. Glentrell Carter leads Henry with 18 points. PG James Sommer 29 points to lead Cristo Rey.
Friday: #8AA Maranatha 72 #11AA Spectrum 47
3 quick MCA bombs for a 9-0 lead. Spectrum with 4 turnovers in the 1st 2 minutes leading to points. Cole Elrod sits most of the half with 2 fouls. Spectrum shoots it as poorly as they will all year with many good looks not going in. The lead grows to 25 in the 1st half and its cruise control from there. Maranatha with another big ranked game at home against #6AA St. Croix Prep on Tuesday. I'll see that one as well. Frosh Chase Carter 14 points off the bench as the big front line was a factor for MCA. Justin Mason 3 1st half 3s on his way to 13 points. Matt Kruse 15, Max Lawrence 14 for Spectrum. Cole Elrod 10 points but was limited due to fouls.
Saturday:
St. Anthony 59 Trinity 56
This one was pretty tight the entire way. St. Anthony would open a 50-39 lead with under 7 minutes left. The lead is still 9 with 4:28 to play after a Joe Flett 3. But Trinity would rally with triples from Ben Maslow and Anthony Rumpza. Michael Ennis with a big 2nd half and he scores 3 straight hoops to tie the game at 56 with 32.6 left. St. Anthony sets up a final play. Its Tait Nelson driving left baseline. Drift pass and the extra pass to the right wing finds Derek Hergenrader for 3 with 1.1 left to win it. Hergenrader 3 of his 4 3s in the 2nd half on the way to 12 points. Tait Nelson 13, Joe Flett 12 for St. Anthony. Anthony Rumpza and Michael Ennis with 20 each for Trinity. Ennis with 18 of those in the 2nd half.

Tigers almost bitten late
Prologue
To Minneapolis Washburn for a city showdown between the host Millers and Minneapolis South. Both teams with a chance to get some momentum in a rough year. We get the piping hot all beef hot dog and Mug Root Beer instead of a Coke product. The Rev is also on hand with the whistle. In honor of Mark Rosen's final day, our music pick is the 1st number song of Rosen's 1st year at WCCO, 1969.
Song of the Day: I heard it thru the grapevine - Marvin Gaye
Number of Teams I've Seen: 98 (68 games, 43 days, 32 buildings, 10 online)
Beverage Ticker: 459.6 ounces (5030 calories)
Its a slow offensive start to the game with only 1 bucket for each team in the 1st 6 minutes. Sir'vell Miller with a couple buckets for Washburn for a 17-15 Millers lead just outside the 5 minute mark. But South scores the last 10 of the half. A couple of turnovers in there contribute to the run. PG Jaylen Blakley with 6 points in the run. Marcus Acha with 2 of his productive 1st half buckets during the run. 25-17 South with the lead at halftime.
Washburn with the 1st 5 of the 2nd half to jump right back in the game. They cut the margin all the way to 27-26. But South pushes the margin back to double figures with a 13-3 run. Josiah Lossow taking a pair of charges on the break to keep Washburn at bay. Blakley attacks and scores to push the lead to 46-34 with under 3 minutes to play.
But don't pack up and leave yet. South crumbles down the stretch. Jamar Nelson for 3 and a careless lob turnover adds bonus free throws. Another quick take out of the 4 corners is 1 free throw for South. Washburn counters with 2 Josh Rogers free throws off an offensive board (which was their best offense all night). Margin is down to 6 and there's still 1:53 left.
South blocked inside with lots of not called contact takes another point away. Then a pushoff by Blakley and that's his 5th with 1:12 left. Danger time. Rogers adds another putback with 55.6 left and all of a sudden its a 1 possession game. South can't get it in and Washburn has chance #1 to tie. They'll miss an open 3 but South walks with the rebound. Chance #2 to tie sees a Miller 3 spin around and out with 33 seconds left. South then misses 2 free throws with the 2nd being an air ball. On chance #3, Washburn misses a forced 3 and its an intentional foul with 19.4 left on the miss. But rinse and repeat at the line with 2 misses and 2nd being an airball. South still has possession and they do get the ball in. Frosh Lukas Johnson makes 3 of 4 free throws for South to finally seal the deal. South wins 50-46.
Post Game
Washburn falls to 2-10 overall and 0-3 in the Minneapolis City. The furious rally from 12 down with under 3 left falls just short. Jamar Nelson leads the Millers with 12 points. Post David Worman with all hard work on his way to 11 points. Washburn very young leaning on 5 sophs and also playing a couple of juniors. Remember that sophomore class won the Twin Cities Freshman game last year. Washburn visits Patrick Henry next Tuesday for their next game.
South improves to 3-7 overall, 1-2 in the Minneapolis City. This is back to back wins and both on the road this week. They get the bright and early 10 AM game against #3A Cass Lake-Bena on Saturday at Henry in the Super Showcase. Frosh Lukas Johnson with 11 of his 13 in the 2nd half to once again lead South in scoring. That included the 3 critical free throws at the end. Joey Erickson active inside for 10 points. PG Jaylen Blakley with 10 points. Forward Marcus Acha very productive with 12 points off the bench.

Wading through the schedule
So as we approach the midpoint of the season, I'm now looking for games with teams I haven't seen or won't see soon. Hence no Minnehaha at Eden Prairie or North at De La Salle as I'll see 3 of those 4 next week in The Old Kingdom at my hometown event. So with that in mind its a blustery trip to Blake to weave my way around the construction and see the Bears take on #9AA Providence. But before that it's another Monday in the TCAC with 2 teams on my schedule. That's International School (who'll I see again tomorrow on the east side) at Community of Peace.
Monday: Community of Peace 74 International School of MN 68
Community of Peace winless coming into the night. But a 12-0 run for the Tigers would open up a 15 point 1st half lead. ISM would cut the margin to 6 a couple of times but they couldn't get over the hill. A late comeback cut short by a missed free throw, giving up an offensive putback, missing an open 3 and then turning it over for 2 on the other end. CPA didn't put this one away like they could have but they held on. Fun matchup on the wings with CPA's GeanCarlos Pujols going for 31 points. 19 of those in the 2nd half. ISM had their star on the wing go big too with Preston Dahlen scoring 20 of his 31 in the 2nd half. CPA with some nice youth that will serve them well in the next couple of years. ISM also using some young guys that will benefit from the experience.
Tuesday: #9AA Providence 64 Blake 49
Nice to talk with Blake AD and former coach Nick Rathmann. Never mind the talk about THE WORLD'S WORST OFFENSE. This one was largely played at Providence's slower tempo. Particularly in the 1st half with a halftime score of 25-20. Blake got off to an 8-1 lead thanks to a couple of quick 3s. But Mark Richelsen in on the next 14 Providence points to put the Lions on top. Richelsen with 17 in the 1st half and he keeps it going to start the 2nd half. Dylan Servais chips in with all 13 of his points in the 2nd half. After a Richelsen assist for a 3 the Lions lead by 17. But Blake keeps it interesting with a quick 10-1 run thanks to a couple of turnovers. That cuts the lead to 8 with just under 5 minutes left. Evan Marsh with a layup and a kickout 3 to bookend a 10-0 Providence run that puts the game away. Rob Grace picking up the Blake offense with 13 of his 15 points in the 2nd half. Richelsen finishes with 28. Gabe Ganz with 9 of his 12 in the 1st half. Providence 18-30 from the charity stripe, 11-19 for Blake.

Game of Zones
Its a quiet 1st Saturday of the new year. That takes me to St. Paul for East Side/Frogtown doubleheader. The early session was a matchup of AAA teams on the fringes of the state top 10 (if you believe that list). The late session was a 4AA matchup.
Game 1: #17AAA Northfield 84 #13AAA St. Paul Johnson 54
I got the walking taco before the salsa was set out and no sour cream. Not a terrible lunch (I did have Pepsi after all) but not up to the usually outstanding standard that has been set there. Brian Sandifer trading in his camo for stripes as he officiated the JV game. As to the varsity game, Northfield using an archrival version of THE WORLD'S WORST OFFENSE effectively. Between that and their extended 1-2-2 zone, they controlled the game for the most part. A 10 point halftime lead blew up in the 2nd half as Johnson couldn't find ways to score (only 22 2nd half points). Soph guards Kit Schetnan (19 pts) and Karsten Clay (12 pts off the bench) lead the way and headline a nice group of soph guards for the future. All of this with Mason Zick missing a lot of 2nd half time due to foul trouble. The Raiders have to get thru Austin in section 1AAA but I like their guard play and they have a big front line that was active today. Those guards largely took care of the ball and can hit shots. The bigs hit the glass and were a factor on top of the zone . Zick is the only real option to deal with big athletic wings though and Austin has a ton of those.
Game 2: St. Paul Academy 54 St. Agnes 34
The 1/4 lb hot dog never a bad option so that means dinner for me. St. Agnes shorthanded without a couple of starters so they'll trot out a 1-3-1 zone. St. Paul Academy counters with their own 1-2-2 zone. Story here is simple. SPA knocks down 8 3s in the 1st 14 minutes vs the zone and blows the game wide open. The Aggies have to go man after that. St. Agnes moved the ball well early vs the 1-2-2 zone but didn't have points to show for it. Then the cracks in the zone sealed up. Bruising SPA forward Ryan Moore missed most of the 1st half but he comes back with 15 minutes left and adds 10 second half points to keep the game out of reach. He finishes with 13 points. Andrew Johnson with 3 3s and 11 of his 13 in the 1st half also for SPA. Ben Gansler 12 points for St. Agnes.

Running the mascot gauntlet
2 nights with 3 different types of mascots. We start with human with weapon (Knights) vs dangerous animal (Lions) and follow it up with another dangerous animal (Sabers) vs a force of nature (Blaze). Let's play out the mascot bracket.
Thursday: St. Paul Harding 66 CHOF 65
The rules of the mascot bracket say human with weapon beats animal so in this case it holds true. Jovan Christian with 3 early free throws but he'll sit the last 27:28 of the game due to a technical foul. Eric Strandlund carrying the CHOF offense early and then McCaleb Alleman picked it up from there. Wing Simeon Sharp picking up the Harding offense to keep them within 37-29 at the break.
In the 2nd half Harding takes off on a 16-2 run to take a 50-43 lead with 11:08 left. Center Alex Addai for Harding with 3 big inside hoops and more offense from Sharp. Alleman on the bench with 4 fouls and it looks like CHOF is in trouble. But coach James Scheeler goes 2-3 zone and rolls the dice to bring Alleman back in. That move pays off as he is all of the offense in the 2nd half. But he gets help from Strandlund who converts back to back turnovers to put CHOF back up 51-50 with 7 minutes left. Harding converts a pair of turnovers in a late 8-2 spurt to go up 65-58 with just over a minute left. The Knights hang on from there. McCaleb Alleman finishes with 29 to lead CHOF. Erik Strandlund 11 of his 17 in the 1st half. Simeon Sharp with 15 of his 27 in the 2nd half to lead Harding.
Friday: Shakopee 88 Burnsville 67
The bracket rule here is natural disaster over just about everything so no luck in the mascot bracket for this game. Charlie Katona and Daniel Rosenbur back and forth early as Shakopee leads 21-19 at the 8:30 mark. Then it gets out of hand as Shakopee goes on a 23-2 run over the next 5+ minutes. Everybody chipping in including a 3 from freshman Nick Katona who's getting spot rotation minutes for the Sabers. 46-27 Shakopee at the break.
Marcus Shepley gets the DNP in the 1st half but starts the 2nd half and gives the Burnsville offense a much needed boost. He buries a 3 and runs out for a couple more to keep the margin at 15 with 13:10 left. Shepley cuts for 2 and Hayden Johnson buries a 3 and the lead is down to 66-52. Shakopee with 1 of their 3 MoKiller timeouts on the night after a Katona putback stops that bleeding. Shepley with bonus FTs, another Johnson triple and 3 Burnsville free throws and all of a sudden the lead is down to 10 with just under 4 minutes left. Burnsville having some success with their scrambling traps. But Charlie Katona buries a 3 with 3:25 left after coming back in with 4 fouls and that's the end of that. Shakopee scores 15 of the next 17 points to beat the traps to seal the deal. Charlie Katona leads all scorers with 31 and passes the 1000 career points mark. Will Cordes adds 13 for the Sabers. Daniel Rosenbur with 20 to lead Burnsville. Marcus Shepley with 17 in just the 1 half of action as he was able to get loose in transition for some buckets.

The Wolfpack bites back
Prologue
A quiet opening night of the new year takes me to Henry Sibley for a section 3AAAA showdown between the Warriors and Park of Cottage Grove. After some extra exercise to get in the building, I miss the JV outing. Then still half frozen I miss the walking taco on the menu, NOOOOO! But I do get the extra Lays chips calories out of the hot dog meal deal. I'm not a big hip hop guy but old school stuff can get my attention. Some Run DMC - Its Tricky rocked the air waves along with this classic.

Even game early on before Jayden Lane drives for 2 and then adds a 3 point play on a turnover. Those buckets end a 10-0 Park run for a 19-10 Wolfpack lead at 9:51. But out of a timeout, Sibley calms down and moves the ball very well vs the Park 1-2-2 zone. Dayton Massie from the left corner off the extra pass for 3 and repeat that on the other side. Then its inside out for lefty Brandon Loucks to bury a 3. Soph Cameron Latvis off the bench with 3 buckets as well during the 17-4 Sibley run. That happens in just 3:45 and Sibley back on top 27-23. Domenik Block sitting with 2 fouls for the last 7 minutes of the half. Massie from deep again off an extra pass and a couple Malik Spearman buckets in the last 90 seconds. That keeps Sibley ahead 35-30 at the half.
Park comes out of the zone and goes all man for the 2nd half as coach Weah saw enough ball movement and 6 Sibley 3s to get out of that zone. Its Lane driving for 2 and burying a 3 and Park quickly scores the 1st 6 of the half to regain the lead. Loucks for 3 countered by a Lane triple after an offensive board. 44-43 Sibley clinging to the lead with 12:37 left. Center Jeremiah Smith off the pick and roll for 2 and then adds 2 other strong inside moves for Park. 53-48 Park with 5:53 left after an 8-0 run thanks largely to Smith.
Sibley recovers after a technical on Smith on the last hoop. Eli Lone Tree for 3 and Malik Spearman scoring with under 4 minutes left and Sibley regains the lead 56-55 after a 7-0 run. Park misses a free throw, Sibley missed 2 free throws. But its Massie with another 3 off an extra pass and Sibley goes up 3 with 2:20 to go. Lane makes 1 free throw, Park gets the board but can't convert. Spearman with a great backcut out of the high post with 1:45 left and the Sibley lead is 4.
Block makes 2 free throws and then a Sibley over and back violation vs pressure in the front court. Park converts as they go flare screen iso for Charlie Gorres and he hits the pullup 10 footer with about 46 seconds left. Lone Tree bumped on the sideline and he makes both ends of the 1 and 1 with 20.94 seconds left (love the hundredths of a second on the clock). Sibley by 2 as Park comes the other way. Spearman with a great block with 15 seconds left but just holds the ball and is tied up. The possession arrow goes to Park with 12 seconds left. After 1 inbound pass is knocked away, Park gets it in and gets nothing. Gorres has it on the right wing against Spearman as time winds down. He pivots and buries an off balance 3 at the buzzer. Park wins 64-63.
Post Game
Heartbreak hotel for Henry Sibley as they fall to 0-10 overall, 0-1 in the Metro East. Eli Lone Tree with 13 points. Dayton Massie 4 extra pass 3s for 12 points and Malik Spearman also with 12. Brandon Loucks adds 3 triples on his way to 10 points. Sibley hosts league rival St. Thomas Academy on Friday. Then 3 winnable games over the next 2 weeks. They visit Simley and Hill-Murray next week before a full week off to prepare for a home game with South St. Paul.
Park improves to 3-6 overall, 0-1 in the Suburban East. More importantly it gives them a section win since they've already lost to Eastview and Hastings out of 3AAAA. Jayden Lane leads the Wolfpack with 16 points. Jeremiah Smith adds 13 inside. Domenik Block with 12 points, half of those at the charity stripe. Charlie Gorres held to 7 but had 5 in the last 46 seconds to win it. Park continues Suburban East play on Friday against district rival Woodbury.
