The 15 Biggest Wins of Holiday Tournaments: Day 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Day two of the holiday tournament around Minnesota. What teams had the biggest wins? We run you through our list now! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(1)</strong> <strong>Mankato East 81 Alexandria 77</strong>. The Cougars had a fairly rough loss to Hopkins four weeks ago but they bounced back big since highlighted by this Class AAA semi-final rematch with Alex. No stats to talk on but an important victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(2)</strong> <strong>STMA 63 Champlin Park 50</strong>. A statement win for the Knights that will surely have them in the top ten even with the loss to Prior Lake. [player_tooltip player_id='1428994' first='Hudson' last='Hochstedler'] had 20 in a big weekend for his team while CP lost two and have a lot of work to do in the gym after a rough trip to St. Cloud. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(3) Richfield 83 Fargo South 54</strong>. This was less about the game, and more about [player_tooltip player_id='1574223' first='CJ' last='Armstrong'] scoring 39 points and going over 2,000 points for his career! For the small school level there are many that have done it but at the big school level it's not as common. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(4) Rochester JM 71 Farmington 64</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='1450098' first='Eli' last='Ladu'] scored 25 and the Rockets get some revenge from last year's section title game when they had a game winner rim out. Farmington continues to be the most confusing team to try and figure out the first month of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(5) Rosemount 89 Edina 71</strong>. And speaking of confusing, Edina. You never know.... good win for Rosemount scoring 89 points. They didn't turn their box score in so individually tough to offer congrats but as a team, great win! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(6) Nevis 77 Heritage Christian 62</strong>. Nevis rebounding from a loss to beat another preseason top ten team was big for them. And the Besslers - Isaac and AJ - both had great weekends scoring the ball in both games. Nevis has more weapons than I thought. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(7) Anoka 63 Eagan 53</strong>. Anoka handed Eagan their first loss of the year while Anoka remains a one-loss team. [player_tooltip player_id='1288713' first='Trey' last='Borchers'] went for 25 points and the Tornado guard line-up had too much coming at Eagan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(8) Totino-Grace 67 Houston County 57</strong>. The Eagles went to South Dakota and earned wins over teams from Nevada and Tennessee. A couple needed victories away from home to represent Minnesota, and to improve to 6-3 without the local pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(9) Albany 73 Dawson-Boyd 52</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='2854139' first='Ezekiel' last='Austin'] scored 30 and the Huskies made a game with the second ranked Class A team look like a no contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(10) Hibbing 80 Princeton 63</strong>. Hibbing is one of the best stories of the early season sitting at 6-2 after a 4-23 season. [player_tooltip player_id='2126126' first='Ray' last='Brau'] and Jake Bottoms combined to score 52 points in this win!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(11) Spring Lake Park 57 Stillwater 54</strong>. Big weekend for the Panthers winning both games in St. Cloud to improve to 6-3 on the season. Big weekend for [player_tooltip player_id='1560865' first='Nolan' last='Myren'] who is scoring 18 a game this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(12) Breck 95 South St. Paul 42</strong>. Woah. Told you the Mustangs came into this event with a point to prove. Nobody turned the box score in but the final score was a beat down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(13) Forest Lake 68 Bloomington Kennedy 58</strong>. In a battle of winless teams, [player_tooltip player_id='1560745' first='DJ' last='Westman'] scored 18 getting his team a much needed win, while the Eagle program continues to struggle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(14) St. Louis Park 67 St. Paul Johnson 53</strong>. Johnson started the year 5-0 but they are on a three game losing streak at the moment while the Orioles got a much needed win ending their three game losing streak. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(15) LCWM 55 Maple River </strong>51. A sneaky little game of quality in Mankato was one by the always reliable LCWM team. Good area wins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
