The Tuesday Night Elite

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We detailed how [player_tooltip player_id='1491756' first='Nate' last='Dahl'] was fantastic on Tuesday night but who else made headlines? There were a number of big game stars and buzzer beating special performances!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Buzzer Beaters</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chisago Lakes junior [player_tooltip player_id='1288720' first='Patrick' last='Rowe'] had four steals. He grabbed seven rebounds including one special one in overtime. He created several shots for his teammates totaling eight assists (that means he had assists on half of the makes of his teammates). Rowe also put up 43 points including a one handed baseball throw from nearly full court that scored a 90-89 win over Becker! Ever tried to throw a basketball the full length of the court to hit the backboard? Not that easy. And Rowe won that game that way! Kyan Bloomquist had 29 for Becker in the loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Want to have a pointless but fun debate? Try arguing who hit the tougher game winner, Rowe or [player_tooltip player_id='962249' first='Eli' last='Laposky']! Eli's 66-63 game winner at the buzzer was on the left side of the floor and was done double pumping coming down from his leap to get past the defender and the shot was made across his body! This make came on a day where Gavin Kennen and Grant Loge had really good days for Pequot (20 points each) but it was Eli that put them over the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Prediction Results</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The law firm of Kirchner &amp; Dobbs just gave STA a win that headlines their bounce back from a rough start. Khalid El-Amin has done a hell of a job with this team and [player_tooltip player_id='962306' first='Michael' last='Kirchner'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1284179' first='Luke' last='Dobbs'] continue to gain confidence as scorers. Kirchner had 28 while Dobbs scored 20 and the Cadets are now 9-1 in Metro East play while Mahtomedi is 10-1. Tartan is in third at 8-2 while SSP is 5-3. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My prediction was Zephyrs by ten and STA won by 14! So I will sing the wrong song to myself..... "Ryan, you were WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.... WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last night [player_tooltip player_id='962214' first='Nolan' last='Winter'] made a statement. A Mr. Basketball statement. A Class AAAA Player of the Year State. Perhaps a "top prospect in the senior class" type of statement maybe. He scored 32 points and went over 1,000 points for his career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My prediction was right, a double figure win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owatonna is now in first place of the Big Nine. [player_tooltip player_id='1220355' first='Blake' last='Burmeister'] led with 22 points and [player_tooltip player_id='1437434' first='Collin' last='Vick'] had 19 as the Huskies beat Northfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My prediction was..... after signing the wrong song I am going full modern day push my own brand mode with, I predicted this game perfectly! An Owatonna one score victory 77-75. Speaking of predicting things correctly and telling the world I was on the money....</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>East Ridge beat Minneapolis North by five and the prediction was Raptors by five! Big game from [player_tooltip player_id='1284104' first='Charlie' last='Bern'] who had a game high 17 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So after all of that peacocking around, I have to go back to the wrong song. I said Tonka by six, it was Buffalo by five! And [player_tooltip player_id='1491756' first='Nate' last='Dahl'] scored 38!</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='962218' first='Nasir' last='Whitlock'] had 29 leading DeLaSalle to a strong second half to beat AHA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284139' first='Grayson' last='Okoronkwo'] had 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in a win for Blake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1151197' first='Daniel' last='Freitag'] scored 31 points leading Jefferson to an overtime win over Chanhassen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284157' first='Jerome' last='Williams Jr'] scored his 1,000th point in a win over Hudson and remember that Jerome is only a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1550877' first='Jayden' last='Moore'] had 23 points, nine assists and eight boards leading Hopkins over EP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
