There was a bunch of high school activity on Thursday night. Notably:
• The Becker girls defeated Big Lake behind Julia Bengtson's 26 points
• The Holy Angels girls defeated Kennedy 71-62. This was the "homecoming" of Destinee Oberg, who transferred from Holy Angels to Kennedy this year, but who has been hurt for the past 10 days or so. She scored 9 against her old teammates, but Frank Vascellero of the Stars led her team to the win with 25 points.
• The Lakeville North girls defeated Centennial 83-81 in a 2OT thriller that was also notable for a great shootout between the Panthers Lauren Jensen, who scored 39, and the Cougars Taylor Mcauley, who scored 38.
• Among the boys, Prior Lake tuned up for its Breakdown matchup with #1 East Ridge (see above) by beating Chaska 65-53. Dawson Garcia scored 25 for the Lakers.
Game of the Day: Lakeville North girls 83 Centennial 81 (2OT)
Player of the Day: Lauren Jensen, Lakeville North, 39 points
Team of the Day: Holy Angels girls
Coach of the Day: Bob Schweim, Prior Lake boys, with the help of hindsight
The following night there was again plenty of high school action with, again, the most compelling action on the girls side. Eden Prairie turned things around. Last night they were upset by Lakeville South 61-53. Tonight they upset Chaska 76-71. The difference was freshman guard Myra Moorjani, who did not score on Thursday (don't know if she played) but scored 15 on Friday.
Also Red Wing won at Northfield 63-62 as Kyli Nelson scored 25.
But the Big Game, etc., came in the Northern Sun, where homesteading UMCrookston beat MSU Moorhead 108-88 as Harrison Cleary scored 47. Top Game, Top Player, Top Coach is Crookston's Dan Weisse, who has his team off to an 8-4 start.
