The Tuesday Night Standouts: Jenpa leads PL to Big Win

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We asked the question... who is going to step forward with a big win as a contender? And the answer was Prior Lake. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3AAAA Wayata at 8AAAA St. Louis Park </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct.</strong> But never did I expect a 32 point blowout win at 101-69. It was a 57-26 game at the half! In a top ten match-up! Wayzata was led by [player_tooltip player_id='1560867' first='Christian' last='Wiggins'] with 26 points, [player_tooltip player_id='1560807' first='Isaac' last='Olmstead'] with 23 points, and [player_tooltip player_id='1560778' first='Nolen' last='Anderson'] with 21 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6A Central Minnesota Christian at 2A Dawson-Boyd</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct</strong>. It was a two point game at the half but the depth and talent of the Jacks was too much and they picked up a big top ten wins. Gunner Liebl had a game high 18, [player_tooltip player_id='1874834' first='Drew' last='Hjelmeland'] had a double double of 16 and 10, and [player_tooltip player_id='1411178' first='Brayson' last='Boike'] became the school's all time leading scorer! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9AAAA Lakeville North at 10AAAA Prior Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction, <strong>WRONG</strong>. The Panthers did NOT win by a basket. They got behind double figures in half one and got beat 75-57 in a controlling Prior Lake win. Of all the teams that are on the come up looking to beat a nemesis, Prior Lake was the team that did it! And they did it with a balanced line-up. Sure [player_tooltip player_id='1434127' first='Norbu' last='Jenpa'] had his 22 but after that TEN other guys scored! They had six guys that scored on three or more possessions! That's depth. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chaska at 4AAAA Champlin Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct</strong>. We said Rebels by six, it was Rebels by 15. [player_tooltip player_id='1288748' first='Tyler' last='Wagner'] had five threes, four dunks and a total of 34 points leading a Rebels team with punch, to a controlling win. We talked more about it in the feature article on this game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10A Ada Borup at 7A Red Lake County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>PERFECT.</strong> We said Ada-Borup by a basket, they won by a basket 66-64! All I can find is the score but at some point I am sure the Ada-Borup Twitter will have something, and we do know [player_tooltip player_id='1482041' first='Austin' last='McCraven'] recently hit 1,000 points because of their Twitter, but right now we don't have anything but the score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>I Saw It On Twitter!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Braham knocked off McGregor and [player_tooltip player_id='2369272' first='Tyler' last='Eklund'] hit the 1,000 point mark with a 21 point and 13 assist game. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mankato East smoked Rochester Century 95-55 but we got the [player_tooltip player_id='2173971' first='Sabir' last='Ahmed'] update as the Century leading scorer is right now at 21 points a game.  He's shooting nearly 43 percent from the arc. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Deer River beat Cass Lake-Bena 73-69 led by [player_tooltip player_id='2103407' first='Caiden' last='Schjenken'] who scored 24 points in a big victory.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1617722' first='Jaxon' last='Young'] hit a game winner so Coon Rapids could beat Jefferson 60-58, and on that score Young went over 1,000 points for his career.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Following our Favorites!</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>TC Hoops Czar</em>.
