The Tuesday Night Elite

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who beat who on Tuesday night? Who played well? How did our predictions look? Here is the Tuesday Night Elite!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Waconia &gt; Benilde-St. Margaret's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT.</strong> This was a slower, slug fest style game with good defense. If you were gonna score in this game it was likely around the basket. [player_tooltip player_id='1434056' first='Jackson' last='Hayes'] led with 20 points and 13 rebounds meaning he has scored a combined 51 points against BSM this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mankato West &gt; Mankato East</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>WRONG</strong>. In the story of the night, in a wild finish on campus at Minnesota State-Mankato, Kyle Steinke hit a huge three late as a part of his 23 points leading West to a massive one point win (59-58) over Mankato East. That's a huge moment for both West and Steinke.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holy Family &gt; Southwest Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='1287442' first='Kole' last='Hanson'] scored 34 points which is ten more than his average allowing the Fire to beat the down the highway rival by a half a dozen. [player_tooltip player_id='1284180' first='Luke' last='Graff'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2103376' first='Brayden' last='Beckering'] each had 21 as the 6'2 wings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Esko &gt; Crosby-Ironton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT</strong>. Esko won by a dozen with [player_tooltip player_id='1961792' first='Dalton' last='Spindler'] scoring 19 and Braenden Male scoring 21. It was an 82-70 win for Esko. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edina &gt; Minnetonka.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>WRONG</strong>. We thought Tonka would be the motivated team, it was Edina that put together a huge second half and beat Tonka for the second time this season, this time 82-67. [player_tooltip player_id='1284163' first='Josiah' last='Coleman'] was the Hornet catalyst scoring 29 points to earn the win. </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='1288706' first='Jalen' last='Langsy'] just had a 44 point game against Eagan and then last night scored 42 against Prior Lake! Scoring 86 points in the last two games is a hell of a way to boost a scoring average! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288720' first='Patrick' last='Rowe'] scored 35 for Chisago Lakes and became the all time leading scorer in a win over St. Francis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579885' first='Nolan' last='Groves'] scored 32 points with seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in a win over Jefferson. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284147' first='Jack' last='Robison'] had 32 for Lakeville North in a 90-77 win over Eastview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Thomas senior Sean O'Brien scored a career high 31 in a win over Park. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1595734' first='JJ' last='Semanko'] had 34 and [player_tooltip player_id='1550877' first='Jayden' last='Moore'] had 32 as Hopkins beat STMA 111-109.
