There was plenty of high school action but the 2 biggest games were "changing of the guards" types of games.
• Among the girls, Farmington defeated Lakeville North 61-47 as sophomore Paige Kindseth scored 21 for the Tigers while junior Molly Mogenson scored 17 and sophomore Sophia Hart 16. With its youth and its obvious skills, Farmington looms large on the South Suburban landscape after a long period looking up.
• Meanwhile, among the boys, Rochester Mayo outlasted perennial power Austin 93-88. Mayo took the lead for good on a pair of 3s by sophomore Andre Crockett and junior Mason Madsen. Mason Madsen scored 22 points for the Spartans, his twin (but not identical twin) and fellow junior, brother Gabe scored 28. With their youth and obvious skills...well, you get the picture. But, there's more. Medi Obang and Agwa Nywesh each scored 33 points for the Packers. Somebody, anybody? Name me a game where 2 teammates scored 33 or more and lost!? Can't imagine it happens too often.
In some other surprises:

Among the girls:
• Pequot Lakes defeated Crosby-Fronton 53-42
• Minnetonka knocked off Chaska 65-60 as freshman Desiree Ware scored 18 for the Skippers, and Kaylee Van Eps did the same for the Hawks
