The 20th annual Pat Patterson basketball classic was held yesterday (Friday Nov. 29) and today (Saturday Nov. 30) at the Hutton Arena at Hamline University. The 1st 3 games on Saturday went something like this.
Roseville 61 Orono 42
Both teams reversed there Friday result, Roseville bouncing back from a 62-60 shocker to Waconia to defeat Orono, who beat Bloomington Kennedy yesterday. Roseville had a big size advantage against Orono and didn't particularly exploit it in the 1st half, which ended with the Raiders up 29-24. In the 2nd half, Jayda Johnston and Tamia Ugass started to click inside and Roseville pulled away. Johnston scored 22 for Roseville, Ugass 13. Haley Paulson scored 15 for Orono.
St. Paul Como 80 Bloomington Kennedy 40
Just before tipoff, JFK coach Quintin Johnson said, "We've got some babies out there," and indeed the starting lineup featured a freshman, a sophomore and a junior. Of course, Como started 5 sophomores. But the Como girls have a lot more game experience at a higher level and it showed. Forward Chloe Dmytruk was especially active around the rim and on defense, and especially in the 1st half, which ended with Como up 43-27. The 2nd half was all Como, who finished with 19 steals, 6 by Ronnie Porter, and the game finished in running time. Dmytruk finished with 20 points, 6 boards and 4 blocks.
Freshman guard Ashlee Burchette was just about the only offense for JFK as she took it to the rim enough to score 14 points.
Waconia 62 Lakeville South 50
Waconia ran away from a 51-49 lead at 3:30, closing things out with an 11-1 run. Senior guard Tess Johnson scored 9 of the final 11. Ironically she finished with just 10 for the day, but it was enough to put her over 1,000 for her career.
Rosemount 55 White Bear Lake 33
Neither team defended the 3 worth a darn in the 1st half, which ended up with Rosemount up 35-25. I don't know if the defense was better in the 2nd half but after 12-and-a-half minutes of the 2nd half Rosemount was on an 8-3 run for a 43-28 lead. The final was 55-33 as Taylor Janssen scored 18 for Rosemount.
