The Midweek Round-Up

<p>The Midweek Round-Up.  A look back at what has happened so far this week.  Big wins, surprising upsets, some top performers, etc. </p> <p>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!</p> <p><strong>Big Wins</strong></p> <ul> <li>Long time friends Andre Phillips and Tyler Biwan coached against one another, nice win for Mound-Westonka beating a ranked Blake squad 57-42. </li> <li>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. </li> <li>CDH beat Mounds View by 22 led by 22 from [player_tooltip player_id="850701" first="Tre" last="Holloman"].  That seems like a statement win right there. </li> <li>Wayzata over Hopkins was a top five match-up and the Trojans won by a score.  </li> <li>Coon Rapids scored 92 points beating Anoka.  Tracking Coach O’s climb leading this program has been pretty fun.  Getting better every year. </li> <li>Sartell had a nice 62-52 win over Alexandria.</li> <li>Nevis beat Cherry 67-45 making a big statement. </li> <li>Mankato East might be catching their stride after some early season slip ups.  They beat Byron by 34 points last night. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Upsets</strong></p> <ul> <li>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. </li> <li>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. </li> <li>On Monday, Farmington knocked off second ranked Shakopee 74-73 giving the Sabers their first loss of the season. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Top Performers</strong></p> <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="962206" first="Max" last="Shikenjanski"] 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!</li> <li>Elijah Smith had 29 for Coon Rapids in that win over Anoka.</li> <li>Huge game from [player_tooltip player_id="958641" first="Davion" last="Evans"] scoring 31 as Cooper defeated Orono.  Evans is a speedy guard capable of scoring 20 plus on any given night. </li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="958742" first="Terrence" last="Brown"], [player_tooltip player_id="958666" first="Donnavin" last="Hinsz"], and [player_tooltip player_id="850729" first="Muja" last="Burton"] combined to score 76 points with Brown and Hinsz each totaling 26 and Burton 24. </li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="958689" first="Brady" last="Spaulding"] had 27 leading Annandale over Rockford in a ranked match-up of top ten teams. </li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="962212" first="Boden" last="Kapke"] scored 36 leading Holy Family over Mayer Lutheran and was then offered a scholarship by Xavier.  </li> <li>Sophomore Trevor Schauer scored 28 as Lester Prairie picked up a big win over Mankato Loyola 90-82. </li> <li>Congrats to AJ Green of Concordia Academy leading his team to a win and getting over 1,000 points</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="1226395" first="Baiden" last="Bean"] had 16 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and led his team to a win over number two ranked Shakopee recently. </li> </ul>
