The Predictions!
Holy Family made a monster statement beating MCA 90-63 in a top three showdown. Another quality game from Kole Hanson Kole Hanson 6'2" | PG Holy Family | 2024 State MN and Chattanooga signed Collin Mulholland Collin Mulholland 6'10" | C Holy Family | 2023 State MN went for a game high 25. We predicted Holy Family to win but they won by 5x as much as we expected!
Hayden Tibbits Hayden Tibbits 5'11" | PG Wayzata | 2023 State MN dominated his match-up with Andy Stefonowicz Andy Stefonowicz 6'2" | PG Minnetonka | 2024 State MN scoring 26 and helping hold his fellow PG to two scores. Jackson McAndrews went for 22 and the Trojans breezed to the win. We predicted this win as well, but like the Holy Family/MCA game, we thought this would be closer.
And on the flip side, the game that we thought would be a blowout (Park Center vs Andover) was not a blowout. We predicted the winner correct again, but we were off on the game flow as Andover gave PC a run.
Give us credit for going 4-0 with Cherry beating Northland but don’t give us credit on game flow as Cherry won by 14 in a game we thought would be a one score contest. Fresh off of his Gopher visit Isaac Asuma Isaac Asuma 6'3" | PG Cherry | 2024 State #102 Nation MN goes for 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in a big win against a top 10 opponent.
How did we do in Waconia vs BSM? No contest, the game was moved to Saturday!
Top Performers
