Anderson has 23 points, 20 boards vs. ACGC

Girls: Tigers 47, ACGC 40
Malory Anderson was the major force for MACA in a Friday night (1/26) win at home. Anderson was at the fore of a come from behind win. Coach Dale Henrich's Tigers entertained their home fans with a 47-40 win over the ACGC Falcons.
Anderson asserted herself in scoring and rebounds with a stat of at least 20 in both departments! It was quite the display. The post player poured in 23 points and pulled down 20 rebounds. Carly Wohlers had ten rebounds. Anderson also led in steals with four.
Maddie Carrington continued her pattern of making three-point shots - on this night she made two from long range. Maddie's point total was 16. There were just five Tigers on the scoring list. Liz Dietz scored five points, Wohlers had two and Riley Decker contributed one. The Falcons of ACGC led at halftime 23-18. Our engines got humming after that.
Decker and Dietz each had two assists. We came out of the night with a won-lost of 11-7. ACGC is having a below-.500 campaign. Addison Bernstein led ACGC's scoring with eleven points. Madison Denton and Lindsey Minnick each scored eight. Other Falcons scoring: Rachel Wilner (5), Anna Grimsgard (2), Pailey Wilner (2), Molly Youngblom (2), Jeana Denton (1) and Gabby Lawver (1). Madison Denton had ACGC's only 3-point make.

Keeping Owls in mind too
It's appropriate that I do some coverage of Hancock hoops. I was the sportswriter for the Hancock Record for 15 years. I'd finish up the sports section quite late (or early in the morning) at the old Sun Tribune shop. I had a wide array of duties. I'd go to the Met Lounge (for soft drink) at around 11 p.m. for a break. I'd finally go home at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday. If it was summer I'd probably be on bike. I crossed the field on a non-maintained road to the north of Pizza Hut.
A cop chased me halfway across the field at that middle of the night time once. In those days the cops all knew me so when this gendarme ID'd me, everything was OK. He probably just muttered "oh, it's that nut." What would happen today? I could get shot and killed. Incidents are happening all across the U.S. of innocent, unarmed people getting shot and killed by police. There was that guy in Wichita recently who was killed because of a prank phone call to 9-1-1. There was that guy who was using a pellet gun for his pest control work who got shot and killed. A cop was put on trial for that but he was acquitted which is what most often happens. The cop only need make the vaguest statement about how he/she felt threatened.
We'll see what happens in that Damond case in the Twin Cities. Based on that case, we should never walk toward a law enforcement vehicle for the purpose of talking to the cop. Those people must be considered dangerous.
 
Boys hoops: Owls 85, CGB 43
Noah Kannegiesser built on his stature as a marquee player to put in 30 points for the Owls. It's a memorable winter for the Owls who gained their 13th win Friday at the expense of the Wolverines of Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley. The loss total is a mere one.
Hancock was up 53-26 at halftime. The Owls had four double figures scorers total. Fans saw Bennett Nienhaus score 12 points, Connor Reese 11 and Peyton Rohloff 10. Cole Reese added nine points to the mix. Other Owls scoring: Tanner Pahl (4), Preston Rohloff (3), Mason Schmidgall (2), John Kellenberger (2) and Jordan Peterson (1). Kannegiesser and Cole Reese each made two 3-pointers, and Nienhaus had one long-range make. Rebound leaders were Pahl (8), Peyton Rohloff (7) and Connor Reese (6).
Kannegiesser was all over the court as he produced five assists. He also led in steals with four followed by Nienhaus with three. The CGB scoring list was topped by Casey Nilson who had 12 points. Bryce Hoffman put in eleven. Sam Adelman had seven, Caleb Cardwell six, Austin Kipp five and Nate Moberg 2. Kipp made a three-pointer.
