The Top Ten WOWZA Results of Holiday Tournaments: Day 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What results really jumped off the page from the holiday events around the state? We give you those results today!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Yellow Medicine East Hits Prep Hoops</strong>! I don't ever recall talking about Yellow Medicine East on these pages before but when six-foot-1 junior Wakinyan Grey Cloud totaled 41 points, ten assists and ten boards pushing his team to an 86-51 win over Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart, it had to be here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sorry to the Host</strong>. If you hosted your family over the holidays you know it can be a lot of work and at times it can be rough. Well... what about Grand Meadow? They hosted their own holiday event and their guest (Goodhue) allowed them only 29 points while scoring 71! That's not a very good guest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Litchfield scores 29</strong>. Melrose knocked of Litchfield at the St. Cloud Cathedral Tournamnt and the Dutchmen allowed only 29 points for the Dragons! Puff wasn't very magical and he sure didn't breath much fire yesterday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Big Number Game</strong>. Westbrook-Walnut Grove out-raced Wabasso 98-94. [player_tooltip player_id='1984418' first='Hudsen' last='Jenniges'] finished with a game high of 40 points while [player_tooltip player_id='2841844' first='Drew' last='Swanson'] had 30. That's 70 of the 98 for the WWG pair. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2075965' first='Trojans' last=''] by 47!</strong> Rushford-Peterson beat Fillmore Central 86-39 on the first day hosting their Trojan holiday tournament. RP is a top ten level team in Class A but this was a big gap. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Springfield in triple digits</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='2399032' first='Bryan' last='Buerkle'] had a team high 21 points, Isaac Fredin had 19 points, and three others were in double figures in the win over Mountain Lake Area-Comfrey. The 100 points from Springfield was the daily high at the small school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delano for 102</strong>! The days highest total was the Tigers going for 102 in a 102-75 win over Hermantown. No individual results were turned in but that's a ton of points from a potent offense with another new coach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Vocab Day</strong>. So when you head over to Math &amp; Science Academy for a tournament and you get a team called STEM (Rochester) planting their roots right into (the) North Lakes with 90 points, you can't help but feel like you learned something! Or at least had a good visual or two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>My Brother Turned 44</strong>. It's not often that one of the biggest schools in the metro (Wayzata) beats another one of the biggest schools in the metro (Rosemount) 92-48 but when you see that score the same day your brother turned 44 you think.. interesting! No individual results posted from this, somebody over at yet another one of the biggest schools in the metro (East Ridge) might need to take two minutes and make a call to the Star Tribune! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tough Spot</strong>. I'm guessing the Two Rivers staff knew they were in a tough spot going into the Augsburg opener: Breck is surely very talented but they came into that game 1-4 having lost to four of the best teams in the state. The Mustangs were going to be angry and Two Rivers just so happened to be the next on the schedule. Breck won 84-36 and moved on to play South St. Paul today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
