Girls’ tournaments under way An overview of the sections

By Bruce Strand

Girls basketball sectionals are under way, leading to

the state tournaments March 14-17 at Target Center, Wil-liams Arena and Concordia-St. Paul. Following is a rundown of each section. We are listing the Minnesota Basketball News ranked teams in each, although unranked teams are also sure to break through as they always do.

Class 1A

The most competitive sec-tion should be 1A, which

includes No. 1 ranked Lyle-Pacelli, No. 3 Hayfield, No. 4 Goodhue, No. 9 Grand Meadow and No. 20 Wabasso. Goodhue has won the last two state cham-pionships.

No. 2 Mountain Iron-Buhl will try to extend its dynasty in Sec-tion 7A, which has one other ranked team, No. 11 Bigfork.

No. 5 Menahga heads the 5A field that includes No. 15 Belgrade-Broo-ten-Elrosa and previously-ranked Walker-Hackensack-Akeley. No. 6 Ada-Borup aims at a title in 6A which has one other ranked team, No. 14 Parkers Prairie.

Section 2A has two ranked teams: No. 16 BOLD and No. 17 Sleepy Eye. Section 3A includes No. 7 Minneota, No. 8 Lac qui Parle Valley and No. 18 Southwest MN Christian. Section 4A includes No. 13 Mayer Lutheran and No. 19 Her-itage Christian. Section 8A is head-

ed by No. 10 Stephen-Argyle and No. 12 Red Lake.

Class 2A

Probably the most competi-tive sections are 6AA and

8AA.

No. 1 ranked Sauk Centre is defending 6AA champion with No. 5 Rush City the top chal-lenger. Sauk edged Rush City for the title last year. The sec-tion also includes No. 19 St. Cloud Cathedral.

The 8AA field includes the de-fending state champion, No. 3 Roseau, along with No. 11 Dil-worth-Glyndon-Felton, No. 12 East Grand Forks and No. 17 Barnesville.

Maranatha Christian, up from Class 1A, is ranked No. 2 and heading the 5AA lineup that includes No. 7 Holy Fam-ily Catholic and No. 13 Water-town-Mayer.

Minnehaha Academy, No. 4, is the lone ranked team in 4AA. No. 6 Norwood-Young America eyes the title in 2AA which includes No. 16 St. Peter. No. 20 Proctor is the lone

Marshall slows it (way) down, loses to Waseca 17-4By Bruce Strand

The Marshall girls tried holding the ball — to an extreme — in an attempt to upset Waseca in their

section quarterfinal on Tuesday. Coach Dan Westby’s approach didn’t pan out as hoped. The Tigers lost by an embarrassing 17-4 final score.

Waseca (24-4) had beaten Marshall 60-52 and 54-37 in conference play.

Marshall, which has gone to four state tournaments under Westby, with two Class 3A runner-up finishes, ended this campaign 18-9.

“I didn’t expect that,” said Joan Conway, Waseca coach, in a Waseca County News story. “I knew it could hap-pen, but there’s never a time that you think a team will hold the ball when they’re down points.”

A video posted on Twitter by a Waseca fan showed a

second-half possession in which the Tigers held the ball for over three minutes, all while trailing 9-2. A Tigers player is seen holding the ball at her side, immobile, just beyond the half-court line.

Marshall started initiating some action with about six minutes to go, still trailing 9-2. Waseca’s Madison Gehloff stole a pass, ran down the court and scored.

Emily Meier was Marshall’s high scorer, notching all four points.

Is this game an advertisement for a shot clock in high school basketball? Perhaps, but, surprisingly, Minne-sota is among the vast majority of states which has no shot clock for high school games. Ross Torgerson of the Red Wing Republican Eagle, reporting on the Mar-shall-Waseca game, checked it out and found that only eight states have a shot clock: California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, North Dakota and South Dakota.

ranked team in 7AA. Section 3AA’s field includes No. 9 Eden Valley-Watkins, No. 14 New London-Spicer and No. 18 Tracy-Milroy-Balaton.

Class 3A

Robbinsdale Cooper, the top-ranked team, is the lone ranked team in Section 6AAA. The Hawks,

who played in Class 4A until this year, are seeking their school’s first state trip in girls basketball. Similarly, No. 2 Holy Angels is the lone ranked team in 3AAA.

The 4AAA field includes No. 3 Mahtomedi, No. 4 DeLaSalle, No. 13 Hill-Murray and No. 14 Como Park. The 5AAA field includes No. 6 Willmar, No. 17 Waco-nia and No. 18 Benilde-St. Margaret’s.

No. 4 Northfield is the favorite in 1AAA which in-cludes No. 16 Red Wing. The 8AAA tourney could come down to conference rivals No. 9 Alexandria and No. 11 Fergus Falls. In 7AAA, the favorite is No. 7 Grand Rapids. The field includes No. 19 Hermantown and No. 20 Chisago Lakes.

Class 4A

Top-ranked, undefeated Eastview is the favorite in Section 3AAAA which includes No. 14 Park of

Cottage Grove and No. 16 Apple Valley.

No. 2 Hopkins heads the field in 6AAAA, which in-cludes No. 6 Wayzata, who has split with Hopkins this year, and No. 19 Minneapolis South.

No. 3 ranked Centennial heads a challenging 5AAA field that includes No. 8 Champlin Park, No. 9 Ros-eville and No. 13 Park Center.

No. 5 St. Michael-Albertville eyes an 8AAAA crown, where challengers include No. 7 Maple Grove and No. 11 Moorhead.

Lakeville North, ranked No. 4, is the favorite in 1AAAA, which includes No. 18 Farmington. The 2AAAA field includes No. 12 Minnetonka and No.15 Eden Prairie. Cretin-Derham Hall, ranked No. 10, heads the 4AAAA field which includes No. 20 Stillwater. The lone ranked team in 7AAAA is No. 17 Anoka.

Add Matt Todd (2,500 points) to Monticello’s cavalcade of stars

By Bruce Strand

If you assembled an all-time Monticello boys basket-ball team, it would be a formidable lineup, especially

after adding current guard Matt Todd to run the offense.

The 6-1, 165-pound senior recently passed the 2,500-point marker. In early January, he broke the school scoring record of 2,106 held by Nate Holmstadt since 1995.

Todd is averaging 29 points, fourth-best in the state, for the Magic (17-9), and leads the state with 132 steals.

“His quickness and ability to see the court are what make him special,” coach Jason Schmidt said.

Schmidt is a link from Todd to pre-vious Monticello legends like Hol-mstadt and Joel Przybilla. The 7-1 Przybilla (Mr. Basketball in 1998) scored 1,404 points for the Magic and had a 13-year NBA career. The 6-8 Holmstadt was a 20-ppg scorer for Montana State.

“I played and graduated with Nate and was on the team when Joel was a freshman,” Schmidt said. “Having a program that’s had guys like Dusty Decker, Troy Bigalke, Joel and Nate puts you in a con-versation with some great players. Matt is in that con-versation, which is a high compliment.”

All those guys led Monticello teams to state, which Todd has also done, in 10th grade. “Now he is looking to lead the team back for a second time in his career,” said Schmidt.

Todd has not landed on a college team yet.

“I will be playing basketball somewhere, but haven’t figured that out yet,” said Todd, who’s heard from Air Force, Penn, Elon, Illinois State and others.

Todd hit 45 points against Orono in an 88-84 loss. He

had 36 in a 107-104 win over Becker, 43 in an 88-74 win over Stillwater (16-for-16 at the line), 39 includ-ing the game-winning 3-pointer in a 77-74 win over St. Michael-Albertville; and 35 in a 78-59 win over St. Cloud Apollo where he missed only two shots (12-for-14 from the field, 11-for-11 at the line) and made 10

assists and eight steals.

Last week,Todd had 27 points and five steals as Monticello gave Class 2A champion Minnehaha Acad-emy a battle, losing 73-69. After that game, they came out flat and lost to Buffalo 57-49. That was the game where Todd went over 2,500, sinking 28 points.

Todd averaged 25.5 points on an 12-16 team as a junior, and scored 52 against Buffalo, the team single-game record.

As a sophomore, he was the lead-ing scorer with 20.3 ppg for a Magic team that reached the state semifinals and finished 20-12 in fourth place. He had 26 in a sec-tion championship 74-72 win over Rocori and scored 46 points in the three state games.

Todd averages five steals per game, mostly from on-the-ball defense

within the Magics’ man-to-man. His main attributes are “court awareness and quick hands,” said Schmidt.

On offense, he has a knack for changing speeds, which keeps defenders from getting comfortable. And despite his slender physique, he is “stronger than you think,” his coach says, to absorb contact while attacking the hoop.

The next-high scorers in the lineup this year are Rezi Useh, averaging 11 points, and Austin Puppe, averag-ing eight points, although seven players besides Todd have scored 20 or close to it this season. “We’re not the biggest team,” Todd said. “Our tallest guy is 6-4. We have to push the ball and score in transition. When we’re playing good defense, we can be pretty tough.”

Matt Todd averages 29 points and leads the state in steals.


Wrenshall guard sinks 62 pointsBy Bruce Strand

Nick Mattson of Wrenshall erupted for 62 points in a 116-83 win over Duluth Marshall on Monday eve-

ning in Duluth — tying for high game of the season in Minnesota.

The 6-0 senior guard was on fire from long range, nailing 17 of 27 three-pointers.

Mattson matched a 62-point game by North Woods’ Cade Goggleye in No-vember.

Other 50-or-more games by boys have been logged by Adnew Stueven of Northome-Kelliher (52), Kendall Whitefeather of Red Lake (52), Noah Kannegisser of Hancock (51), Matthew Hurt of Rochester John Mar-shall (51) and Jayden Heisler of Mahnomen-Waubun (50). (Source: Matt Pederson).

Mattson, who’s averaging 21.5 points, with a previous high of 36, went over 1,000 career points in the game also.

His teammate Tyler Kelly had a 49-point game in a 90-85 win over South Ridge and 47 in a 92-27 win over Cherry. Kelly, a 5-5 senior guard, averages 20.7 points.

Wrenshall, coached by Jon Bartczak, has a 22-2 record. Minnesota Basketball News has the Wrens ranked 13th in Class 1A.

Breck duking it out with top teams

The Breck Mustangs, unranked all year, were thrust into MBBN’s top ten at No. 8 in Class 2A last week

despite eight losses. Actually, it was because of those eight losses, considering all the close games they’ve had against strong 2A, 3A and 4A teams.

The Mustangs have lost to Minnehaha Academy by just 57-49 and 77-70, to Orono 84-80 in double overtime, to Perham 82-75, to Brooklyn Center 86-83, to Holy Fam-

Nick Mattson

ily Catholic 71-64 and Wayzata 70-62.

Last week, the Mustangs beat a pair of strong Class 2A rivals, Maranatha Christian (18-7) by 79-70 and Maple Lake (20-5) by 51-39.

Powering the Mustangs is David Roddy, a 6-5, 245-pound junior center averaging 25 points, 13 re-bounds and five assists. Roddy, who sank 36 in the win over Maranatha, is a college prospect in both basket-ball and football as a big-armed quarterback (who also plays defensive tackle).

Joe Ganley, 6-3 junior forward, adds 12.3 ppg and Josh Roddy, 6-3 senior forward, 11.8 ppg.

Roosevelt’s Sims fills the stat sheet

Deszie Sims of Minneapolis Roosevelt, featured by Minnesota Basketball Hub last week, leads

the Teddies (15-9) in practically every category — 25 points, nine rebounds, four assists and four steals per game. “There hasn’t been a game this year when he hasn’t been the best player on the floor,” said Roos-evelt coach Rob Mestas, who was the 1995 Mr. Bas-ketball for Roosevelt. Sims, a 5-11 point guard, was a late starter in basketball, never joining a team until his freshman year. His superb athletic ability caught the eye of Mestas during the coach’s physical education class.

Austin edges Owatonna for payback

The Austin boys (24-1) avenged their lone loss of the season last Friday edging Owatonna 74-70 in

overtime on the Huskies court. Tate Hebrink was the man of the hour for the Packers. The senior guard hit a game-tying layup with 10 seconds left in regula-tion, which ended 64-64, then tallied all 10 of Austin’s points in overtime. Medi Obang sank 21 points and Hebrink 19. Austin had lost 72-61 to Owatonna (19-6) at home Jan. 16. The day after beating Owatonna, Obang set a team record of 10 three-pointers (in 15 attempts) on the way to 36 points in an 88-37 rout of winless Albert Lea.

Byron’s Lee tallies 54 in section openerBy Bruce Strand

Ayoka Lee, Byron’s 6-5 senior center, poured in 54 points as the Bears beat Winona Cotter 76-54 in their

Section 1AA opener Monday in Rochester. Her field goal shooting was an incredible 26-for-30 (although just 2-for-6 at the line). She snagged 22 rebounds.

The Kansas State recruit was just four points shy of the girls’ state record of 58, set by Lester Prairie’s Kay Kon-erza in 1982.

“She’s a very strong 6-5 and she’s very good,” Cotter coach Pat Bowlin told the Winona Daily News. “Sometimes you look at a tall kid and think it’s all because of her height, but she’s a very good basketball player on top of it. She had a variety of moves, she found ways, she followed up her shot.”

Lee, who had a 50-point game as a junior, is averaing 27.6 points, 17 rebounds and 3.8 blocks. She missed nine games and halves of two others with bad ankle sprains.

PEM had 59-game home win streak

The Plainview-Elgin-Millville girls had a 59-game winning streak at home before Lyle-Pacelli defeated

the Bulldogs 66-53 on Feb. 25, reports PEM coach Andy Bernard.

That’s the second-longest home win streak in state histo-ry, according to MSHSL records. Braham won 70 straight at home between 2009 to 2014. Third-longest was 49 by NRHEG between 2012 and 2014.

PEM won its last two home games of 2012-13, then went unbeaten at home four straight seasons and won their first seven at home this year. The Bulldogs were 10-1 at home this year and 17-9 overall. Their season ended with a 61-51 loss to Rochester Lourdes this week.

Como Park wins Twin Cities title game

St. Paul Como Park wrapped up its fourth consecutive St. Paul Conference title drubbing St. Paul Central 74-

45 last week, then toppled Minneapolis South 80-74 in the Twin Cities Championship Game. Makayla VanNett led with 28 points against Central. The senior guard is

averaging just under 22 points and recently passed 2,000 for her career. Eighth-grader Kaylynn Asberry added 17 points.

The Cougars (18-8 overall) finished 12-0 in the confer-ence. Against Minneapolis South (21-5) at home, Van Nett pumped in 27 points, senior guard Raiyne Adams 19, and Asberry 14. The Cougars overcame a 39-point siege by South senior guard Morgan Hill. Freshman Jade Hill added 18 for South.

Willmar girls top Alex for CLC title

The Willmar girls emerged as champions of the Central Lakes Conference with a 48-46 win at Alexandria last

Thursday, led by Cayle Hovland with 16 points and nine rebounds. Willmar finished 14-2 and Alexandria 13-3 in the CLC. Alexandria handed Willmar its first loss of the season 55-51 on Jan. 23, a game Hovland left with a concussion. Hannah Johnson’s basket with 2:30 left put Willmar ahead 47-46. Neither team scored after that, ex-cept for one Willmar free shot.

Jump shotsHancock’s Noah Kannegiesser, the state scoring leader with over 35 per game, topped 50 for the first time last Friday, hitting 51 (with 10 three-pointers) in a 75-68 win over Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg. Kannegiesser re-cently committed to Concordia-St. Paul …Erin Lamb, Stewartville freshman center, scored 45 points, includ-ing her 1,000th, in a 78-46 win over Pine Island on Feb. 16 …Haley Hungerholt, LeRoy-Ostrander junior, got her 2,000th point while scoring a career-high 40 in a 64-53 loss to Lanesboro …Macy Quinn, Granada-Huntley-East Chain-Martin Luther senior guard, got her 1,000th point in the regular season finale, scoring 23 in a 66-65 loss to St. James….Duluth Marshall’s Ben Landherr passed the 1,000 marker Monday while scoring 29 points in a 116-83 loss to Wrenshall …. Matthew Hurt of Roches-ter John Marshall recently nabbed his 1,000th career re-bound, after passing 2,000 points earlier this season …. Nathan Rund, Fergus Falls guard averaging 17 points and 4.2 assists, with 1,717 career points, recently committed to Minnesota State-Moorhead …. Sam Haiby, in the final home game of a glittering career at Moorhead, scored 40 points in a 78-65 win over Rogers to start section play, appearing to be recovered from a recent knee injury. (Far-go Forum) …. Lily Orazem, Isle sophomore, scored 41 points in a 75-44 win over Wrenshall on Feb. 13, breaking her team record of 40 set last year.

Perham rolls along as state’s lone unbeaten boys’ team By Bruce Strand

The Perham Yellowjackets are the lone unbeaten boys team in Minnesota and one win short of a perfect

regular season. They’ll close the schedule against Pequot Lakes on Friday night.

The Yellowjackets, coached by Dave Cresap, are 25-0. On Tuesday, they routed Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton 81-45 led by Josh Jeziorski with 25 points and 11 rebounds; Jenson Beachy with 21 points, five steals and eight as-sists; and freshman Finn Diggins with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

Last week, Perham beat Thief River Falls 66-25 with 11 players scoring, led by Martin LaFond with 16 points,

Jeziorski 13 and Beachy 11.

Beachy, who last year became the first Perham boy to score 1,000 points, is now the school’s overall scoring leader. On Feb. 10, while scoring 20 points in a 57-54 win over Rockford, he passed the Yellowjackets’ girls record of 1,563 points, held by Katrina Moenkedick (class of 2013).

The Rockford game represented the smallest margin of victory this season for the Yellowjackets.

Ranked teams Perham has beaten are Breck 82-75, Annandale 45-40, and Esko 66-58.
