Here is our Tuesday Night Elite!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Our Headliners</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eastview and Lakeville South</strong> was a close match-up won by the Lightning. The 17 from [player_tooltip player_id='1287440' first='Jonathan' last='Mekonnen'], 12 from [player_tooltip player_id='1288666' first='Henry' last='Eliason'], and all around balanced game overcame a big performance by South junior [player_tooltip player_id='1296149' first='DaMarcus' last='Burks']. Burks had the 29 but the Lightning had seven guys who scored on three or more possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was.... two scores off but we picked the winner correct (Eastview).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make everybody take note [player_tooltip player_id='1167554' first='Hayden' last='Tibbits']! The <strong>Wayzata </strong>point guard scored 33 points and moved the ball to [player_tooltip player_id='1201757' first='Spencer' last='Hall'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1287438' first='Jackson' last='McAndrew'] so they could each score 20 plus themselves. It was a big statement game from Tibbits who is now firmly in the talk for post-season stuff. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was.... well, I said Wayzata by double digits but did not expect a 41 point blowout versus Eden Prairie. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big game from <strong>Holy Family</strong> wing [player_tooltip player_id='1492567' first='Braylon' last='Cummings'] who scored 20 and helped allow the Holy Family starting group an early season in a 70-40 win over Jordan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was... again, I said Fire by 14, but they won by 30 so the prediction was right but didn't expect a total blowout. Fire was up 44-22 at the half. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six-foot guard [player_tooltip player_id='1225659' first='Eli' last='Nelson'] of <strong>Paynesville Area</strong> produced a big memory last night scoring 25 points and leading his team to an eye opening win over ranked BBE. Nelson and Paynesville have been good all year but this was a statement win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was, right! Paynesville won! Didn't pick a blowout but we go 4-0 with this one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='962273' first='Cooper' last='Drews'] once again made a case for himself as league MVP, Class AAA All State team worthy, Mr. Basketball top 20 level worthy, etc as he scored 25 and led Princeton to a blowout win over Becker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our prediction was, Princeton winning and we go 5-0!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='962284' first='Isaac' last='Matti'] put up 50 points last night breaking the school scoring record and leading his team to a win over Bloomington Prairie. Dunks, threes, it was all there for Matti. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='962218' first='Nasir' last='Whitlock'] went into Fridley last night and led his team to a win scoring 40 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The excellent senior season of [player_tooltip player_id='1638427' first='Michael' last='Cooper'] of Robbinsdale Cooper continued when Michael had 30 in a 30 point win over Brooklyn Center.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1140532' first='Owen' last='Skram'] scored 28 points hitting seven threes, grabbing six boards and earning the chain! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
