Click on link below to read my summary of the Minnewaska girls' wins over EV-W and WCA. This post is on my companion blog "Morris of Course." I like to focus on Morris but so often I have greater access to Minnewaska game details. Today is an example. I'm happy to write about the Lakers. Thanks for reading.
The Minnewaska boys have a record of 14-9. for the girls it's 19-6. We are inching toward post-season play. The girls took fourth in state last year.
Watch the Danielsons
Monday's game was really big for Laker BBB standout Luke Danielson. The Danielson name is big in Laker basketball these days! Luke of the boys poured in 32 points to really fuel the Laker success.
'Waska had an iron man look as just five players scored. We see Marc Gruber pouring in 23 points. Cavin Thorfinnson scored 12, Connor Erickson 7 and Tristan O'Neil 6. The long-range shooting standouts were Thorfinnson with four 3-pointers and Gruber with three.
Danielson with his seven rebounds led there. Thorfinnson produced seven assists and Gruber three. Drew Bleick and O'Neil each had three steals. Four Lakers blocked a shot: Gruber, O'Neil, Thorfinnson and Danielson.
For New London-Spicer, Ethan Nelson was top scorer with 22 points. The Wildcats had several players get in the act with 3-point shooting led by Nelson and Zachary Lageson each with two. Making one each were Louden Johnson, Kaden Shimek, Griffin Thompson and Gavin Vick.
Nelson topped their rebounds with nine. Lageson dished out three assists. Lageson and Shimek each had two steals.
Girls to host Morris
The high-flying Laker girls have one game remaining in the regular season. Where does the time go? So they'll wrap things up by hosting a Morris team (MACA) that has the capability of challenging some very strong teams. Maybe they're somewhat uneven but do not underestimate the Tigers.
The 'Waska girls will host the Tigers tonight (Tuesday). Last year there was a game where 'Waska led MACA 58-4 at halftime! Don't look upon that as any sort of precedent. The Lakers are 7-1 in section play and 8-3 in conference. They have had some trouble at home where their mark is 6-4. On Feb. 14 the Lakers lost to New London-Spicer 59-52.
The 'Waska boys have two games left in regular season. These will be against KMS and BOLD.
I can't blog with much detail about our MACA Tigers. That's unfortunate. But when handed lemons, make lemonade. I'm more than happy to treat Minnewaska Area as a home base team. I have family connections to Glenwood.
Surely I would have done a lot of inspired writing about the Tigers in both boys and girls. Instead my writing has been "spotty." I have to make do with info I can collect from the media.
We can always consult with "Minnesota Scores." There we see that the MACA boys have been nothing short of super. They've been nothing short of perfect. The Torgerson boys have fashioned a perfecto 22-0 record. Presidents Day saw them notch the 22nd win. This was by a score of 62-52 at Annandale.
Two games remain for the orange and black against Monte and Sauk Centre.
The MACA girls sit at 12-10. Numbers like that suggest sort of a hot and cold quality. We'll learn more tonight with the 'Waska game. Get ready for the post-season. Alas the Tigers have lost their last two games. These were against West Central Area and Sauk Centre.
I know the Tigers have talent! A key player is my next door neighbor.
