Waconia > Benilde-St. Margaret’s
Prediction. CORRECT. 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. Jackson Hayes Jackson Hayes 6'6" | SF Waconia | 2024 State MN led with 20 points and 13 rebounds meaning he has scored a combined 51 points against BSM this year.
Mankato West > Mankato East
Prediction. WRONG. 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.
Holy Family > Southwest Christian
Prediction. CORRECT. Kole Hanson Kole Hanson 6'2" | PG Holy Family | 2024 State MN 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. Luke Graff Luke Graff 6'3" | SG Holy Family | 2024 State MN and Brayden Beckering Brayden Beckering 6'3" | SG Southwest Christian | 2025 State MN each had 21 as the 6’2 wings.
Esko > Crosby-Ironton
Prediction. CORRECT. Esko won by a dozen with Dalton Spindler Dalton Spindler 6'2" | PG Esko | 2024 State MN scoring 19 and Braenden Male scoring 21. It was an 82-70 win for Esko.
Edina > Minnetonka.
Prediction. WRONG. 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. Josiah Coleman Josiah Coleman 6'3" | SG Edina | 2024 State MN was the Hornet catalyst scoring 29 points to earn the win.
Others
