The Tuesday Night Elite

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What players shined in the spotlight on Tuesday night? Who do you need to know about after the Tuesday night slate? Here is our Tuesday Night Elite!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Our Headliners</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wayzata</strong> completely controlled their game with Hopkins and I think we can start to talk about the Trojans as title contenders again. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1287438' first='Jackson' last='McAndrew'] - who is making a big case to be the top prospect in his class when it comes to long term future potential - scored 27 points. That's another big performance from McAndrew in a big game. Jackson scored the 27 while the Trojan froncourt limited [player_tooltip player_id='1345987' first='Vincent' last='Hillesheim'] to single digits. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was..... Correct! Although it was a much bigger victory (point differential wise) than expected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ada Borup </strong>gave Thief River Falls their first loss of the season. A 68-65 win for the ranked Class A team at home. Unfortunately there has been nothing to find on the game outside of the score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was.... wrong! It was the home team by a score, not the road team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Buffalo</strong> dropped down their statement game! They crushed Eden Prairie 75-50 led by 20 points from [player_tooltip player_id='1491756' first='Nate' last='Dahl'], 15 from [player_tooltip player_id='1284137' first='Grady' last='Guida'], and 11 points from [player_tooltip player_id='1288787' first='Brody' last='Wishart']. An explosive second half led to a comfortable finish and likely the respect that this team has been looking for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was... very very very wrong. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mora </strong>beat Little Falls 68-48 led by 19 points from [player_tooltip player_id='1617781' first='Max' last='Sampson'] and 16 points from fellow senior Jonah Smart. Holding Little Falls to 48 points was an excellent defensive accomplishment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was.... correct!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Benilde-St. Margaret's </strong>knocked off Bloomington Jefferson 74-60. The Red Knights were able to hold [player_tooltip player_id='1151197' first='Daniel' last='Freitag'] a dozen points under his average and they were led by the 21 points of [player_tooltip player_id='1284155' first='Jayden' last='Daisy']. Daisy, a junior, is averaging 14 points a game for the top five Red Knights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was.... not just correct, we were off by one point! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Extras</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288720' first='Patrick' last='Rowe'] had 24 for Chisago Lakes and the 6'6/6'7 junior wing continues to create highlight finishes for his team. Last night Chisago Lakes improved to 5-7 by defeating Monticello. Rowe is averaging 24.3 points a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big game from [player_tooltip player_id='962239' first='Aj' last='Greene'] of Concordia Academy scoring 33 points in a win over Southwest Christian. Last night Greene moved into second place on the school's all time leading scorer list. He has scored 1,645 career points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minnesota get to know Chanhassen sophomore Riley Johnson! The 6'2 wing scored 33 points with [player_tooltip player_id='1287439' first='Max' last='Woods'] scoring 25 and Chan earned a huge win over Orono 93-90. [player_tooltip player_id='1189958' first='Isaiah' last='Hagen'] had 32 in the loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Cloud Tech beat Fergus Falls 91-45 last night led by 41 points from sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1284214' first='Tameron' last='Ferguson']. The Otters gave top ten ranked Perham quite a push last weekend so this was a very nice win for Tech. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
