The main reason for this article is….I have been in a single room quarantined for almost three days feeling down in the dumps. So I have to go back and figure out what has happened so far this week and I figured, I may as well write about it and share with you what I have found in my DMs, email, mentions, and research from the past two days. Here goes!
Big Wins
- Long time friends Andre Phillips and Tyler Biwan coached against one another, nice win for Mound-Westonka beating a ranked Blake squad 57-42.
- Good win for Duluth East who had been on a bit of a slip but they came out of it beating a talented Brainerd squad 70-63. I think when the Hounds hit their full stride they can be very dangerous.
- CDH beat Mounds View by 22 led by 22 from Tre Holloman Tre Holloman 6'2" | PG Cretin-Derham Hall | 2022 State #57 Nation MN . That seems like a statement win right there.
- Wayzata over Hopkins was a top five match-up and the Trojans won by a score.
- Coon Rapids scored 92 points beating Anoka. Tracking Coach O’s climb leading this program has been pretty fun. Getting better every year.
- Sartell had a nice 62-52 win over Alexandria.
- Nevis beat Cherry 67-45 making a big statement.
- Mankato East might be catching their stride after some early season slip ups. They beat Byron by 34 points last night.
Upsets
- I would say the way that Orono has been playing pushing up into the rankings that a Cooper 13 point win was a mild upset. Big league victory for the Hawks.
- Rogers knocked off Spring Lake Park in a one score game with four players scoring in double figures as a part of a balanced effort.
- On Monday, Farmington knocked off second ranked Shakopee 74-73 giving the Sabers their first loss of the season.
Top Performers
- Max Shikenjanski Max Shikenjanski 6'2" | PG Stillwater | 2023 State #288 Nation MN scored 41 leading Stillwater over Roseville by a basket. Max had that game winning basket AND became the all time leading scorer for the Ponies in the process. Congrats to Max!
- Elijah Smith had 29 for Coon Rapids in that win over Anoka.
- Huge game from Davion Evans Davion Evans 6'0" | PG Robbinsdale Cooper | 2022 State MN scoring 31 as Cooper defeated Orono. Evans is a speedy guard capable of scoring 20 plus on any given night.
- Terrence Brown Terrence Brown 6'0" | PG Columbia Heights | 2022 State MN , Donnavin Hinsz Donnavin Hinsz 6'6" | PF Columbia Heights | 2022 State MN , and Muja Burton Muja Burton 6'4" | SF Columbia Heights | 2022 State MN combined to score 76 points with Brown and Hinsz each totaling 26 and Burton 24.
- Brady Spaulding Brady Spaulding 6'7" | SF Annandale | 2022 State MN had 27 leading Annandale over Rockford in a ranked match-up of top ten teams.
- Boden Kapke Boden Kapke 6'11" | C Holy Family | 2023 State #153 Nation MN scored 36 leading Holy Family over Mayer Lutheran and was then offered a scholarship by Xavier.
- Sophomore Trevor Schauer scored 28 as Lester Prairie picked up a big win over Mankato Loyola 90-82.
- Congrats to AJ Green of Concordia Academy leading his team to a win and getting over 1,000 points
- Baiden Bean Baiden Bean 6'1" | PG Farmington | 2023 State MN had 16 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and led his team to a win over number two ranked Shakopee recently.
