Boys Minnesota High School All-Star Series

The "Robbinsdale" Gold, led by Armstrong coach Greg Miller and Cooper post Darryl Jones, were the surprise winner of the boys all-star series, edging the favored Maroon 87-85 in last Saturday's final game at Macalester. Gold held the explosive Maroon to 42 fewer points than they had scored the night before at St. Cloud State, and Jones and Mike Rostampour of Henry Sibley combined to score 40 points for the Gold. Guards Dyami Starks of Duluth East, Jacob Thomas of Columbia Heights, and Eric Tengwall of New London-Spicer combined for 41 for Maroon, but Gold's Jones, Trevor Gruis of Ellsworth, and Dan Kornbaum of Little Falls shut down Maroon's inside game.

Maroon routed Green 127-101 on Friday night as Thomas scored 21 for the winners, and Shaun Condon of MACCRAY scored 24 for the Green. Gold beat Blue 108-97 in the other Friday night game as Jones with 20, and DeLaSalle's Jalen Jaspers with 17 led their respective teams. Calvin Godfrey of Cooper also impressed for Blue with 15 points, 17 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks. Green edged Blue 118-117 on Saturday for 3rd place as Demitri Conwell of St. Paul Johnson and Andy Seidlitz of Armstrong took the honors with 24 and 22 points, respectively.
