Jan. 21--112 game winning streak broken

112 games is as long of a winning streak as I think I've ever heard of. Of course it's one of those specialty win streaks but still.... The Mountain Iron-Buhl girls, with 8 straight state tournament appearances, had won 112 straight games against "Northland teams," according to the Duluth News Tribune.

But that came to an end last night at Cromwell-Wright as the Cardinals clobbered MIB 78-58. MIB was without 2 starters and everything went right from Cromwell. They took a 12-0 lead, led 35-17 at the half. MIB got within 40-32 but then the Cardinals pulled away again. Junior guard Taya Hakamaki was in do-it-all mode for Cromwell and finished with 31 points. Shaily Hakamaki added 26. MIB got 12 from Madisen Overbuy but was without Mattison Bennett and Macy Savela.

Player of the Day--Taya Hakamaki
Team of the Day--Cromwell girls
Coach of the Day--Jeff Gronner, Cromwell
