Minnesota Playoff Central: Game 1 is in the Books!
<div class="article-content">
<p>It’s time for March Madness! Section play has begun. Minnesota Playoff Central is here as we prepare for #MNStateHoops22! </p>
<p><strong>Upset City</strong>. There wasn’t an upset but it’s my favorite category so I am keeping the title. We have had one playoff game already and it was Wabasha-Kellogg beating Mabel-Canton 65-54 earlier in the week. It was the 16/17 game meaning Wabasha-Kellogg now has to face the number one team in the state, Hayfield. </p>
<p><strong>Playoff Central.</strong> We have three sections playing games tonight: 1A, 3A, and 1AA. Most sections won’t start for several days where as 1A and 1AA are in full force this evening while 3A games will be pigtail contests. </p>
<p><strong>The Big Stage. </strong>Randolph vs Leroy-Ostrander should be an excellent game tonight. It’s an 8/9 game and names like [player_tooltip player_id="958837" first="Tanner" last="Olson"] and Levi Royston lead the Cards while the Rockets will match them with [player_tooltip player_id="1341718" first="Tyson" last="Cooreman"] and Clay Nielsen. Excellent game and one of many Section 1A contests tonight. </p>
<p>Class AA Section 1 is also center stage tonight with 7pm tip offs from around the southeast part of Minnesota. The best game is likely to be that 8/9 game between Triton and Rochester Lourdes. But that overall section is in the spotlight tonight as the higher seeds host playoff games. </p>
<p><strong>Tip of the Hat to the Career</strong>. Today’s senior honored is Alex Arneson. Alex is the best senior in Minnesota who has lost a playoff game so far. He is a 6’2 forward that averaged nine points and seven boards a game for Mabel-Canton who finished 8-18 this season (heck of a record for a 16 seed, right!) </p>
